The last time I saw him he was in a heated exchange with a guy on the field at Concorso Italiano.

There were two people trying to diffuse the situation.

He was quite a character…

Oh Crap...

On another list I'm on, the guys were saying he didn't show up for the Birthday breakfast they organized for him in March then no one had seen him at his shop in recent weeks... This was around the end of April or early May??   I called his cell phone and it was still active so I left a message... but never heard back.   He was a real car guy, if you helped him out he acted like he was indebted to you for life.  If you asked the right questions, he would talk for hours. He was a fountain of knowledge. Some said it was all BS, but he was so passionate about it, it was fun to listen to.   He was a regular in our pit at Monterey.   He kept coming back for Carl's Tzimmes (sp?), said it was just like his mother made.  Carl would joke and tell him his mother was a lousy cook, he'd agree and we all laughed.   I know he made a lot of enemies (Leno, Balboni), but he was always welcome in our sphere.

Too bad his car never really got the funding to take off.   That motor was a gem.  The base car was too looong.  The drop top exaggerated the length.  I guess Moroder still owns the first one?

Whatever happened to Claudio?
The year before he brought out the Cizeta we talked at Monterey for about 6 hours.  He was so stoked about that project, telling me about the motor.   When he brought it to Monterey he was like a kid.   He saw me coming to see the car and almost ran over saying "it's here! it's HERE!".   I have a lot of pictures and videos of the car still.  That transverse V16 had quite a sound.   Very interesting internal configuration.  I'd have hated to be the guy who had to the cam grind with half the motor counter-rotating.

Apologies for continuing the Ferrari content here but this was a fun article.

Sammy Hagar talks about his 512BBi and how it was at Zampoli’s (Cizeta) when Eddie Van Halen was there.
