Not at all,
please don't take it as a personal attack nor a witch hunt.

You are in the midst of research by Dino-philes that really want to know what the factory was producing. Visit the Factory today (highly recommended tour) and you'll see a proper assembly line, detailed drawings, and specific work instructions.
Back in the day, it was more art than science. Many Italian cars had different items included in them that were based on supplies at the time which makes this all more interesting. This also is why some owner's become more and more entralled with their cars every day.
I believe DM/WS/Others have found "interim" pouches that did not match the basic 3 types that I always knew about.

As an aside point, this is the way it was in Italy during this exciting period, they were producing more cars on a daily basis than they ever had before. Sequential serial numbers did not guarantee that the cars would leave the factory in that order. Sometimes the car was pushed aside "on hold" waiting for a part to arrive or an installer to attend to it or a strike to conclude.

 

dinodan ---a very interesting back and forth about the characteristics of your rare color Dino! The 'correct' concept is very big around here. I like the 'no holes' in the 3 spoke steering wheel. Much nicer than the other styles that came before and after your steering wheel. You mentioned that the Dino had sat at the dealer for some time before it was purchased. One wonders if someone got cold feet and backed out of a purchase or if the Dino was ordered for stock in that neat color. Can't imagine the sales manager having a cup of tea and deciding to order that special color on the spur of the moment...

Hi everyone,

Just wanted to say 'nice color' as well. I believe Bonham's Gstaad had an early '76 308GTB fibreglass that same color, owned by the gent shot to death over his F40, remember?

Before the great Fchat crash there were photos....

And I don't care about the pouch...LOL! Keep 'em runnin'!!!!

My blue 308GTB sat at Ron Tonkin three years...that'll teach 'em to order anything but red, red, red, and more red....!

#22127 yellow/Boxer trim
#22641 blue/Boxer trim

 

Well, I'll be......thanks!

I wanted to jump in on that one pretty badly, moldy interior and all!

Bank that had them let them moulder in a underground parking facility..

Couldn't get things lined up in time. Just as well, auctions are horrible to use to buy, but I thought the story was pretty cool..it's still out there somewhere.

They need to fix that rear valence if they are going to run that four tip ANSA though...see how we are????

These Dino guys are sticklers for correctness, down to the yellow shop rag.....LOL!

Me, I drive the Ferrari Art Car, recently mentioned in the New York Times!!!
And Cavallino #133.......that's #22127, but the other car subbed in the parade one year, also.

Good to meet ya!

 

Dan, If ever you find that photo we would all love to see it!

 

Who cares about the picture quality - they are enough to see the smiles in the first photo that tell the whole story. Simply awesome

Lots of fun to see period pix of our cars.

Keep 'em coming.

Sometimes the 'effort' counts more than the quality. Very nice to see the old period pictures of the Dino, on English plates!

i can't say that there is very much more that i am interested in, please post any old/ original photos you can. it is a tremendous wealth of info for us all.

 

By the responce you know now that, Yes this is what it's all about to own these fabulous peices of history and to see this kind of old photography kind of peices everything together. Your father looks so pleased for himself on that first photo it's pure magic!
p.s.
Jim Russell and his family are all personel freinds of mine ( Jimmy's 85 now) and they live a few miles from me.
Regards G.P.

 

That smile covers his whole face!!!!

What great pictures.

You are indeed fortunate to have these things shared with your family.

Support for my Ferrari ownership is pretty thin on the ground. My favorite Uncle seems to relish it though, having owned a Dino.......

"Just figure a thousand dollars a month in repairs and you'll be OK" LOL!
And he owned it when it was new!

 

Are you sure those are the original flowers your mother is holding in the picture?

 

an interesting note, in the "just picked up the car pictures" you have no side mirrors. in the "just added the numbers" picture you have a drivers side mirror. finally, in the "awards" photo, you have both a drivers side and passenger side mirror.

not that this is of great importance, but we have debated several times about side mirrors.
