So, now I can officially say I have an "award winning" Mondial! :) (LOL)

Hey everyone,

I finally got my 3.2 in the condition where I feel comfortable running around with it more. This weekend, there was a Cars&Coffee close to me, and it happened that this weekend, a Hot Rodder club used the Cars&Coffee as a fundraiser (and "show" I guess)

See this thread: https://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/threads/denver-ferrari-and-car-clubs.658612/page-3

Anyway, I got there early, and it was my first time, so I saw a registration booth and went over to start a conversation. I didn't think there was supposed to be a registration for a Cars&Coffee, but I guess it was the Hot Rodder club. The gentleman told me about the charity, thanked me for coming, and asked if I wanted to "register" my car (no cost, but donations appreciated) so I did.

I ended up leaving early, left around 10am, but I guess my car won something, so they called me up and let me know. I don't know exactly what it won, since it was a hot rodder event and there were many cool hot rods there.

I'll post a picture of the mini-trophy when I receive it!

Interestingly, I got a LOT of traffic at my car, a lot more than I thought. While there were only a few Ferrari's there, mine was the only "vintage" car AND the only Red/Tan Ferrari.

So Mondial 3.2 #74407 is officially an "award winning" car... does that increase it's value? LOL

Below is the official picture of me and "the trophy"...

Here is the link to the blog post for the hot rodders (they list the car as a "Ferrari M32"... probably couldn't read my writing)

Nice color combo, on your Car.

Love this story! Congrats - and yes, most definitely increases the value in my book!

 

The best thing is that our Mondials are now officially recognized as hot rods by a recognizes U.S. association. Love that, greetings from Germany!
