I think they are in La Jolla (sp?)California.

Rrobello, Symbolic are the people who bought my dad's buddy's Ford GT40 from him a few years ago. He had GT103, the oldest in exsistance. It was also the 1st GT40 to ever finish a race, AND win a race for Ford. My dad's friend had it for almost 40 years, until Symbolic gave him a number he couldn't refuse. The car now belongs to the Shelby Museum in Colorado. Symbolic restored it and painted it back to its original colors (guardsman blue with white stripes) when it won its first race. Neat place they have, and small world. Thanks for the pics. Those Bugatti's are just WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

very cool story

yes symbolic's showroom is in La Jolla, but this facility is in Sorrento Valley and house much nicer, rarer and more expensive cars. My friends dad is actually the owner so I am there a lot.

some of the noteables in the rarity department:

these are just a few, symbolics real gems are the cars they keep in this shop, sure the brand new exotics that they sell in their showroom are nice but there is nothing like a perfect mint condition one of a kind multi million dollar treasure, here is a small idea of what I am talking about

1 of 14 made:


1 of 6 made and they have 2:


very first lambo 400GT ever built and its flawless:


this car, in this condition, you couldnt buy with 2 Veyrons:


they also have a one of 2 built (Zagato recently commisioned by the CEO of Nissan) F575GTZ, and several other way insane cars that sell for multi millions of dollars, Ive seen some go for over 5Mil.

Rrobello, another small world. That Ferrari 333SP race car, I have a story that connects with the guy who sold his GT40. With some of the $$$ he got from the sale of the GT, he actually bought one of the 333SP race cars. It was a Lista sponsered car, and its absolutely amazing .All the carbon fiber, and the computer steering wheel. Totally sick! I didn't know he had 1 of only 14 made. I just wish I lived near that place, I'd be there all the time. One question, the Daytona Spyder, when you posted what you did, is it safe to assume that its a real factory spyder, and not a chop? If so, talk about rare!!

everything they sell is real, with very rare exception, but then it is usually only upon request that they get a kit car or something else like that.
