Cut open the rear and you would have an Italian El Camino. | ||

navarro was a night club owner. after the car was painted, it became known as "the golden car". john mecom owned the car in the eighties here in houston and it was still golden. | ||

Yeah, that's the Drogo 330. As far as I know, it has been for sale for ages and I expect it to need a lot a lot of work. I DO like the radical design though (which doesn't mean I consider it to be a beautiful car....). The car was originally gold colored but has been red for several years now (as far as I know). This is what I once found somewhere on the internet about it: In 1966 Norbert Navarro bought a Ferrari 330 GT 2+2 (the small pic in picture 1). But he wasn't too pleased about the appearance of his car (why has he bought this car?). He made a sketch of how this car should have been and persuaded Piero Drogo to accept this new design. Naturally Drogo cleaned up Navaro's design and modified it, but he built his car. The nose was streched into a long dropping snout - the rear was given a number of extra inches too and looked squarer and sharper with the tall and narrow fins. Italo-american Ferrari agent Luigi Chinetti gauged it just the right size and appearance for the US market. Jack Habits http://www.FerrariStuff.com     | ||

It's so sad what Drogo did to a good looking car. It should be called Dog-go because it looks like where a dog went ! | ||
