    I was at the Monterey Motorsports Reunion today. Ferrari participation at these events is dwindling. Is it because the TR's and GTO's are too expensive to expose them to the risk of injury at the hands of some errant Austin Healey Sprite or the like? If so, I'm not critical, just sorry.

    I did come upon 250GT SWB #2443, and here are some photos.

    Also, parked near a trailer with the name "Canepa" on it, I took the attached pix of a yellow SWB. I thought it was just too nice to be a gennie, and that is my question: is it the real deal? If it's a replica, who made it? It's a fabulous car.

    Finally, I'm attaching some snaps of a '70 312B.

    Yellow SWB is 3337 GT and genuine and belongs to Chip Connor.
    312 B2 F1 is 005 and owned by John Goodman.
    Both fabulous and authentic Ferraris.
    2443 GT is owned by Rob Walton (Walmart).

    Thank you Marcel. Isn't it fun to see these precious old race cars in the pits in these various levels of disassembly?

    Agreed. When I read the OP, and before I saw the pictures, I thought it ma have been the replica that was in the Petrolicious video. I'm glad it's a real one. Gorgeous indeed.

    Thanks for posting these pics.

    Nice non standard 6 carb arrangement on 250 GT SWB 2443GT. I have read that the SWB was homologated with 6 carbs but I have not read that any were supplied by the Factory with that set up???

    When Bobby Rahal owned 2443, he installed the six carbs.
