Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Along time ago - at Symbolic Motor Cars - Ferrari 003

[Hans E. Hansen (FList]

Not sure if we are talking about the same model of car, but a guy in
Vancouver WA has #004C.  His father bought it for a pittance in the
'60s. Did a beautiful restoration on it.

Jim Glickenhaus has 002C, but some/many argue that it's not near the
car that 004C is.  Seems in a restoration it "borrowed" quite a few
parts from other cars of the era.

#004C has an interesting engine history.  Apparently the first V12 was
used mostly for dyno testing.  An "ear" where a motor mount attached
broke off.  #002C got the 2nd motor built.  But they welded up that
broken "ear" and that motor is in #004C.  The engine numbers support
this, as the number on 004C is one behind that in 002C.  The owner of
004C has a vintage photo of that "dyno" motor with the broken engine
mount.
