Ferrari Mailing List: Re: 1960s specials

[LarryT (l02turner]

When we lived in Hopewell, NJ (late 70's)  there was a 250 of some sort on one of the rural roads nearby which had rec'd a American V8 at some point.  It was for sale - $3K IIRC, but the original V12 was MIA.  It was probably snapped up in the 80's craziness and restored and sold for a gazillion $$s - then resold in the 90s for a $ nickel 95.

 

BTW, the Japanese bought a large number of exotics when the prices were crazy - I wonder if most have come back home?

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

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
