Are they the same car ( same chassis # ) but with bigger engine ? How many of them are left ? Who owns them ? Whats their current value ? 9m$+ ?
Yes, they are the same car, developed from the 290MM, with 4 camshafts - info on individual chassis here: http://www.barchetta.cc/All.Ferraris/by-serial-number/even-serial-numbers/even-0600-0698/index.html Paul M
Peter Sachs owns it, there is only 1 I believe I think the 315/335 S are 1 & the same, Ferrari just enlarged the engine I saw it at Pocono a few years ago
Not only one car. See here for more info: http://www.maranello.cc/english/all.Ferraris/summary/SN.315.S.htm http://www.barchetta.cc/english/all.ferraris/summary/SN.335.S.htm Five chassis numbers involved: 0674, 0676, 0684, 0700, 0764
There were 7 similar chassis : Type 520 :0646, 0656 Type 520B :0674, 0684, 0700, 0764 Type 524: 0744 (became 412MI)
Boudewijn, you have left off 0676 (520B). While we're at it, here's a complete list of the extended family to the best of my limited knowledge. Will someone here who is more knowledgeable than I please make any necessary corrections? Tipo 520 chassis: 0602 (860 Monza) 0604 (860 Monza) 0606 (290 MM) 0616 (290 MM) 0626 (290 MM) 0628 (290 MM) 0646 (290 S >>> 315 S >>> 335 S >>> ?) (Engine only or chassis and engine used in 312 S s/n 0744?) 0656 (290 S >>> 315 S) Tipo 520B chassis: 0674 (315 S >>> 335 S) 0676 (315 S >>> 335 S) 0684 (315 S) 0700 (335 S) 0764 (335 S) Tipo 524 chassis: 0744 (312 S(?) >>> 412 S) (Was 0646?)

Wayne and Marcel...I know that you two compile extremely complete information regarding the more famous cars. The first private owner of 0684 was Gene Greenspun of New York, who raced the car on the opening day at Bridgehampton. That car appeared on the cover of a record album entitled "Jazz for Lovers". In the photo with the car was Mr. Gui Manoni, a Chinetti mechanic. I had loaned the album to Stan Nowak, who unfortunately passed away before returning it.
Around 1966, Gui Minoni conferred w/ my dad about the 9-plate (i.e., no slip)clutch in the Mondial - Gui sold him a composite clutch w/ spacers, we think from a 250LM, so that dad would not have to lay 5 feet of rubber at every stop light. The Mondial is cammed such that it's got nothing below about 3800; so you'd have to rev it to 3800+ and then drop it; below that it would just jump a foot or so and die . . . In his experience, Gui was one of the few inside Ferrari in those days that would help the low-budget sports racer guys.
Here you have 0616 being driven to victory in the 1956 Mille Miglia by Castellotti (in the pouring rain...). Image Unavailable, Please Login
Just a little reminiscing, if I may be indulged: One of the best races I ever watched was at Riverside, with P. Hill driving the 412MI v. the Scarab. The lead was swapped every lap for an extended period. The hot-rodder in me was rooting for the Scarab, but I was already into F-cars so I was really wringing my hands! (The Scarab won). Years later, I had a fast ride in 0744, and it was everything I had expected and more. Scared the crap out of me, and I was young enough then to not scare easily! A few years later, Pierre Bardinon asked me what my favorite was, and of course I responded, "412MI". He grinned and showed me his 315. At least we were on the same wave-length, but I thought to myself, "Okay, but its not QUITE the same". To me these cars represented the pinnacle of front-engined Ferraris. I'm glad to see some serious collectors agree. Blah, blah, blah. Thanks for reading this far!
Great story Ed, did you ask Pierre Bardinon what his favorite Ferrari was? Did you get a ride in s/n 0674? Wish I could have been there.... -Jarrett
Ed owned 206 SP chassis 002 at about the time I owned 024. He used it extensively and wrote several stories about his experiences for the FOC magazine. It's possible that 024 subsequently passed through his hands; I sold it to California, where it went through several owners. O.G.
OG, can I pick you brain a little on 024? I just acquired the entrance form from Nino Vaccarella for the 1967 Trapani / Monte Erice hillclimb, stating that he will enter "Ferrari Dino 206 2000 Telaio 024" but can't find any info on that car actually being entered in that race. Do you have any recollection of that?
024 went from O.G. to Bob Taylor in Burlingame/CA. That was late 1979. Taylor sold it to Robert Rauch in Santa Ana/CA. Fall 1983 Ed Niles offered it on behalf of Rauch and in 1984 it was sold to Peter Sachs. Today it is owned by Michael Mak of Hong Kong. In 1967 024 was entered/hillclimbed regularly by Scuderia Brescia Corse for Marsilio Pasotti who used the alias name "Pam". Jonathan Williams and Mario Casoni also raced 024. In 1968 the car was sold to Alain De Cadenet and repainted purple (yes). Marcel Massini
Here it is... Please note that the color of the paper nicely matches De Cadenet's taste for body colors... Entrant: Nino Vaccarella Driver: Nino Vaccarella Telaio: 024 For good order's sake, the document is dated August 18, 1967 and the hillclimb took place on August 27 & 28 if I am not mistaken.
