    Just for fun, add 4 road cars to your dream garage.

    Please pick 4 comp cars first and post them in the companion thread:
    http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/vintage-thru-365-gtc4-sponsored-vintage-driving-machines/506910-4-comp-cars-dream-garage.html
    This is not mandatory but please do so in the spirit of fun.

    Here are the 'rules' of the contest, again referencing the intent of Marcel's earlier post;

    1. Choose a road car that falls under the Fchat heading of Vintage.
    2. List by specific chassis number, not just model.
    3. If it is a GT model (e.g. SWB, TDF) then please pick a chassis that has no period competition history.
    4. You can pick an even-numbered chassis or comp model if it was never raced or rallied in period.
    5. A special exception is 4561. You can put this in your road garage if you're still pissed about Comp car Dream Garage rules #5, 6, & 7. LOL.

    Try not to pick garden variety production cars.
    Borrowing from Marcel's words, see if you can find 4 that fulfill the idea of, 'Absolutely totally fascinating, mind-blowing cars/cars that most people would have no idea what they are'.

    Please post pics if you can source them and respect copyrights as per Fchat rules.

    Phenomenal picks!
    Can you please choose a different NART Spyder as 9437 has the Sebring comp history. Thanks.

    Sorry I thought that odd # road cars got a pass. Women drove it in the race, does that still count?

    9751 is the other alloy body 275 GTB/4S NART, I will go with that.

    So: 0483 SA Superfast 1
    0488 AM 375 Plus Cabriolet Speciale Leopold
    0594 CM 410 Sport Berlinetta Cavalier
    9751 275 GTB/4S NART Alloy

    No worries(!) Yes, Yvette Simon, Denise McCluggage, Audrey (Saffell) Sundin et al... if it was raced it should go in the Comp cars Dream Garage.
    9751 in Giallo is an excellent choice and alloy to boot.

    The Henry Ford 212/225 Inter Touring Barchetta 0253 EU is definitely on my list.

    Does the 250 GTZ 0515 have competition history? If not, that's on my list too.

    It's hard to find a SWB with no comp history, but if 2243GT is still beautiful in its dark grey metallic color, I'll take it.

    I don't know the S/N to the 400 Superamerica in the picture, but that's the one I want!

    It looks as though 0515 might be out of the question here, so if I can't have that in my dream road garage, then I would gladly take the black Squadra Mobile 250 GTE that showed up on Petrolicious. I'd drive that car every day till the day I died, totally happy.

    0515 was raced in period. The 400 SA should be 2841 and the GTE should be 3999.

    So,
    0253
    2243
    2841
    3999

    The wording of my OP may have been vague and for this I apologize.

    Perhaps I should have said 'street car' instead of road car.

    Everyone is picking great cars but they don't all have to come from even-numbered chassis.

    You can pick from all of the road car production up to and thru 365 GTC/4 as long as your c/n wasn't raced or rallied in period.

    The 'rules' are mainly there to let you get creative if you want to spice up your choices.
    For example you can pick a comp model like a barchetta if you can find one that wasn't raced in period (e.g. 0253).

    Thanks!

    1) 166 Inter Coupe - S/N 0071. Hopefully still un-restored.
    2) 410 SA - S/N 0481. It's got a gun holster. 'Nuff said ;)
    3) 250 GT S1 Cab - S/N 1193.
    4) A 275 GTB. I'll let those more au fait with serial numbers make a suggestion, but Dark Blue/Tan and RHD would be nice.

    I know. Hilarious. One of my all time favorite Superamericas. Was on my scratch list as I figured out my 4 picks.
