Ferrari Mailing List: Re: 1960s specials

[Doug and Terri Anderson (dnt]

A barn find Ferrari racer with a Chevy engine?  Anything is possible.

BUT - when the run on Ferrari prices in the mid to late 1980's sucked rusted Ferrari's off the trash heaps and backyards that even the Smithsonian Institution would have thrown away and put them into restoration stance EVERYTHING got restored.  A good reason why when all 39 Ferrari GTO's show up at a meet - 57 are registered.  heh heh

Subject: [Ferrari] 1960s specials

Hi Listers,

               Just was wonering?

               In the 1960s I remember seeing a few well used Ferrari 4 or 6 cylinder sports racig cars re-engined with Chevy V-8s at SCCA races such as Courtland Alabama.

               Eventually were most of these cars rescued and restored to origial condition or did most die behind a garage somewhere or go to the crusher?

               Any chance of a "barn find" do you think?

               Once I bought seeral postwar H-D ies from a farmer. Each of his sons had bought one and road it until it needed a tuneup and wouldn't kickstart! All were completely intact! Just weathered. 

               Ciao!

                Dale
