Scene: First hit tree, then barely alive fire marshal puts out fire. Notice the shade vantage point, and sand trap Just as it was racing here in the day. Please note the National Guardsman with the 'regular issue G3'. El Salvador, 1972 Image Unavailable, Please Login Regards, Alberto
Let's go back to 250 LM's, please. Here's the rear lid of the fastback, streamlined 250 LM tested at the Le Mans Trials April 1964. Marcel Massini Image Unavailable, Please Login
As in the race in Angola, way behind in the lesser categories Or do you think all they had in Angola were Ferrari at the races? RRRRight. Please let's go back to the 250LM please. A bit more seriousness in this overly serious world is definitely most appreciated, heavens forbid, deviations not allowed, right? Regards, Alberto

5975 is in the Schlumpf Museum (Musée National de l'Automobile) in Mulhouse, France, since 24 June 1969. Schlumpf paid US$ 6'000, he bought 5975 from Helge Pehrsson via Georges Filipinetti in Switzerland. I have all the paperwork. Car has 2'000 kms.

A major piece in this fabulous collection. What a joy to see this engine, a dreadful picture. I had never seen him before. Thanks
Image Unavailable, Please Login This is a scan of the actual photo that was given to my father John Cuccio by Luigi Chinetti Sr. It was pinned on the wall of his office in Westport, CT for over 40 years (in direct sunlight, hence the vertical crinkles). I believe it was taken at the pier in NYC either before or after the race. I would include a copyright acknowledgment if I knew who's it was! Hopefully Coco (if he watches) or Marcel will know. As a side note, Chinetti let my Father have the car for a day with the option to buy it. My Dad was on the 'portly' side at the time and couldn't fit comfortably in it. Plus he didn't like the slightly sideways driving position. Shortly afterwards, he purchased '64 GTO #5573 from Bob Grossman instead. AT

"Shortly afterwards, he purchased '64 GTO #5573 from Bob Grossman instead." 5573! Do you know why your father sold it to the Irwin brothers in Corning, NY? Being from the Finger Lakes, I was shocked to learn a Series 2 was owned by an individual in the Finger Lakes, despite Watkins Glen being in the area. One of the Irwin brothers is still alive today and 5573's stablemates the Penske Grand Sport Corvette. Great story of Kirk White driving 5573 from the farm in NY back to PA. Just wish it laid undiscovered until I came around!
