Amazing isn’t it, Clyde.

 

Well like my old pal Tibor used to say – “Always ask – if you don’t, you end up with the same answer as if they said ‘no’”

My my Rob.  Well – yes, I really did consider the Fiat-Dino.  1980.  When the 246 GTS’ and B’s went out of sight at $20,000 1980 US$ I lowered my sights to the Fiat-Dino to get the “Ferrari sound.”  I poked about, never seriously, and ended up considering the Fiat-Dino a bit bulbous.  

 

I later completely dropped the idea pf the Fiat Dino altogether.  After that brief episode I considered that my ‘Ferrari” train had left the station and I’d never be able to get one.  With the early 80’s era came the watch word – “you could never pay too much for a Ferrari – you just bought it too soon.”

 

And speaking of soon - not too soon after that, less than a decade, the goddess Nemesis followed her brother Hubris and Ferrari’s were once again within reach – but woe unto those who didn’t do their homework for many new owners found their cars suffered the dreaded disease of the wallet – PO deferred maintenance.  Alas.

 

It was at this point I jumped in – for a fair price for what we got – and a 1/3 less than the asking price - - viva being a concours judge and the hungry dealer who wanted to move this attractive nuisance (you know, all the lot boys and techs wanted to keep the oil circulated and the battery up) off his lot.

 

So in 1995, 2,000 miles from home, I was told by the king car boss after keeping my personal “Clyde” price unbudgeable – “well, it looks like you bought yourself a Ferrari.”  And that was how we came to own a 1978 GTS.  A shade or two off of correct Rossa Corsa and detectable (get a paint gauge) filler in the door bottoms – but we’re making a comeback after a year plus.  See you at Colorado Blvd the end of this month.  Fingers crossed of course.
