Some millionaires decorate their mansions with rare paintings. Richard
Moriarty bolted a 1974 Lamborghini to the wall of his Newport Beach
estate early Friday.
Because Home Depot doesn't sell kits to hang cars as artwork, Moriarty
hired a 70-ton crane to lower the Italian sports car through a skylight in
his living room.
Earlier, the car's engine was removed and transformed into a "200-mph
coffee table" for guests who prefer their drinks "shaken not stirred," said
Moriarty, an heir to the family that developed South Coast Plaza.
Getting the Lamborghini into the house took about an hour, but the project
was conceived months ago, when architect Fleetwood Joiner began designing
Moriarty's new home, $2-million worth of steel-and-concrete that will overlook
Newport's Back Bay when construction finishes later this year.
