    Love it! Where was the show?

    I just love how they put the Aston Martin and Lamborghini together, since the 350 was based on the Aston Martin (and Jag, as I recall). (Isn't Aston Martin by Touring and with Superleggera building method too?) But really, the DB lines really come through when those two cars are side by side, and both in black -- perfect :)

    Thanks,

    Fred

    The show was in Colorado Springs, Colorado at the Rocky Mountain Concours. That is a black DB6 next to the 350GT, so they used body-on-frame only on the DB6. But the DB5 had the Superleggera technique. Here is some more pictures I took from the event: http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/showthread.php?t=210291

    Nice, what a great venue.

    Didn't know re db6 vs db5 -- so now we need to get those two (db5/350gt) next to each other in the same color :-D

    Cheers,

    Fred

    An enthusiast wants to buy a 350 GT. No projects, running cars only, but it does not have to be a restored show queen.

    Please submit details of any available car to [email protected]

    Lots of folks looking for 350s Joe, and with less than 100 out there -- I feel a squeeze coming on :)

    If anybody has a 350 for sale, definitely research its value independently before selling. I have guys that want one.

    Yes, very misleading...I hadn't noticed that until you pointed it out.

    I use the "slang" 400GT to describe my 2+2 at times, but I would certainly never do that if I were selling the car. If you just read the description you'd think it's an interim.

    Heck, maybe they really don't know the difference after all!

    Cheers,

    Fred

    Very nice car and superb restoration, BUT compared with the challenge of converting the Miura ZN75 back to originality it's just a restoration.

    Therefore the immense job of recreating the Miura Roadster is IME the real winner.

    Probably the very first RHD delivered by the factory. As far as I know there were no 350GT delivered in RHD configuration and the other 400GT 2+2 or Miura RHD were later production.

    Raymond, they had to build a whole new front end (nose) for the car. It was a huge job. Very few 350/400s are frame-off restorations...this was one of them. It's like they built the whole car like they did originally in the touring shop.

    Cheers,

    Fred

    Hi everyone,

    Here are the build sheets of my Islero. Hope it'll add a contribution to the quest of the Holy Grail!
    Best regards to all.

    Thanks for sharing.

    These are the same records that the factory kept for all the cars built in the 60s and early 70s. In fact, as you can see, they are not detailed.

    Have you inspected Porsche or Ferrari build sets? They are detailed.
