I’m looking for a 60’s Ferrari to restore. If anyone knows of websites that I could find old beatup supercars that would be most helpful.

You are either wealthy or delusional. Good luck, brave soul!

I will add that a local museum just hosted a Ferrari exhibit called "La Machina Belle" (sp?) and they weren't kidding. GORGEOUS! I can see why you'd want to restore one.

I don't know any sites, but my professor's wife's sister's husband restores Ferrari's for a living. He gets (don't know where) beat up Ferrari's and he spends half a year restoring them and then he sells them and then chills the rest of the year... and he's been doing this for a while as a living. Sounds like a fun job. Good luck.

Your professor's wife's sister's husband is your professor's brother-in-law. There's been a few sites that recently reviewed the restoration of '70's and 80's Ferraris and Porsches. it seems you can get good ones for nothing compared to recent models.
