Saw this posted on facebook, and attributed to Doug Morton. Car number #12, #0646 caused the end of the Mille Miglia a month and 1/2 later. #0674 is my favorite, number #11. All loaded up and ready to go back to Italy for rebuild. Sebring March 1957. Image Unavailable, Please Login
Found another one on Facebook, this time attributed to John Mensinger, from the Mensinger collection. At the Riverside 1964 LA Times Grand Prix. This car was owned by Ed Niles a few years later, and in much worse condition. Image Unavailable, Please Login
Image Unavailable, Please Login A few years ago I started to dive into the #13 that was a non-entry/DNQ at Riverside, and in my research I was sent this document that covers some of the car's history and ownership.
I dug some more and the history that I posted came courtesy of Marcel Massini, so credit to him. That was part of this thread of mine from 2017. https://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/threads/chassis-0362-ron-kellogg-robert-stevens.544408/
Art True got 0704 TR mid-1962 and raced it until 1965. Sadly True got liver cancer and died aged 35 in 1965. 0704 TR was then donated to the Ford Museum where it stayed until March 1997. Marcel Massini
Yes. I have seen the car in person in Dearborn several times, but have not been time find any period photos, unless you have a few stashed away, Marcel?
Sad to see a lot of the "old photos" from this forum being stolen to appearing on other forums. without credits. Hence why I will be no longer posting photos.
Yes at first I was quite upset that nearly everything I posted was hijacked, even used in the publication of books. A Frenchman contacted me saying that he was working with Antoine Prunet to publish a definitive book on the 250 SWB Berlinetta. I sent them over a hundred photos and never heard back. I had met Prunet in Monterey and respected him. I finally decided I was having fun sharing and if the thieves were going to steal so be it.
I hear you. While I don't have much "old (Ferrari related) photos", my personally taken shots of everything (mostly authenticity, originality & restoration detail documentation) within past 4+ decades include tens of thousands (or more ?), but I decided long ago not to share most of them with general public, especially online. Some that I do post/share I often crop or otherwise edit in efforts to protect the copyright & integrity of the original image, not to mention privacy related concerns.
French book author Antoine Prunet passed away April 2023 (see separate thread). He and his French compatriot Maurice Sauzay had once planned to do a book about 250 GT SWB Berlinettas. That, however, never materialised. Marcel Massini
Does anyone know what hillclimb and date this is? Pagliarini in 3607 GT in 1963. Number is probably #318 but might be #378 Photo is from: https://www.actualfoto.it Image Unavailable, Please Login
