Who drove the dark colored SWB? Thanks.

Black 250 SWB might have been 2725 GT of Charles H. Reid of Lafayette/CA.

Chuck's SWB had a fantastic exhaust note.

 

Thanks Marcel. I thought so too. I used to spot him on the back roads exercising an SWB, I don't know if it was this one. I seem to remember it being a very dark blue. That was over 30 years ago.

$150K or so would have probably bought every car in the video back then

Another one from my collection. Not the best quality but should be good enough to identify the car and the event.

Gianclaudio "Clay" Regazzoni in 312 P #0878 at the 4th April 1971 BOAC 1000 kms in Brands Hatch, together with Jacky Ickx they placed 2nd OA.

It is with quite some trepidation that I point out that's a 312 PB, not a 312 P

 

Incorrect. The model is a 312 P (from 1971). Many people refer to it as a 312 PB incorrectly, and Ferrari did not sanction this description.

 

Many people is quite the understatement! Every single book and model I own in fact.

Thank you very much for the information, I guess it's another SWB where everyone knows the colloquial description, but it's not actually the official designation. Every day's a school day

Best, Miki.

512"M" #1010. Ickx and Giunti. Austrian 1000 KM 11th October, 1970 at the Osterreichring. DNF electrics.

 

I believe this is the translation for anyone who was wondering:

Dear colleague,

Having noted that on some occasions the Ferrari 312 / P car is indicated with the initials PB, please bear in mind that the Ferrari prototype built for the '72 World Championship Makes is marked with the initials 312 / P.

I consider it appropriate to make this clarification in order to avoid confusion, as the letter B is distinctive of the Ferrari 312 Formula 1 cars, of which the B1, the B2 and the current B2 / 72 were built, which will be followed by the B3 in our forecasts.

Thanks and best regards

Franco Gozzi.

Maranello 25/1/1972.

512S #1042. Watkins Glen 6 Hours 3rd OA Andretti/Giunti and Watkins Glen Can Am Andretti 5th. 11th and 12th July, 1970. I think Andretti at the wheel.

 

Can we please have a bit more precision here?
You forgot to mention the internal engine block number and the gearbox number!
In that particular race chassis #1042 had a type 261/C engine with internal number #21 and gearbox type 603/S with internal #2.
