In the 1980s through the late 1990s\, his showroom was a mecca for all manner of postwar Italian autos\, especially Alfas\, Maseratis and historically significant Ferraris. Forristall raced in Vintage both in the U.S. and in Europe\, including in the very first “re-running” of the Pan-American Road Race. \nSteve Forristall Car Collection up for auction at the Mecum Auto auction on April 8-10 2021 \nIn Forristall’s last Vintage race before retiring from the track once again\, he won five out of six flat-out race stages in the big-bore class in the Carrera Road Race. He raced a 1965 Alfa TZ 2 and was on the ramp at Pebble Beach with the car two years in a row. \nForristall’s love of racing extended beyond just the cars\, and he accumulated countless memorabilia items related to the sport throughout his years of life.
