    Thanks.
    Seeing that after watching this weekend's race at Daytona I'm struck by just how ugly the cars have become.
    Don't get me wrong the racing is still great but I just can't connect with the cars on the same visceral level.

    I was working in the pits at Bridge Hampton when everyone got very quiet. I noticed people were stopping turning and staring at the sand dune that paralleled pit row.

    Riding over the dune was a beautiful white wing. A white pickup towing a white car on an open trailer pulled into the pits. The driver had a cowboy hat. The car had a wing mounted on struts.

    One by one we began to realise that we'd seen the future and everything sitting in the pits had become obsolete.

    If Jim had used a regular gearbox it would have been game over.

    That's Daytona. Bridge Hampton was in LI and it's now a golf course.

    Compare this photo with the recent Daytona lineup makes you
    realize why these cars are so beloved, and the Dp's will be a
    footnote in history.

    P.S.: Two white cars in the photo! I missed the second the first time
    I reviewed it!

    Great story - thanks for the memory. :)

    I got a chance to see the Chaparral racers at the Monterey Historics in 2005 - quite a sight having all those cars together. :)

    is it safe to say you know of just about every single photo of those cars?

    It is 0856 so it isn't 0846. I know it sounds stupid.

    In some way owner David A. Clarke gave her the Daytona winner outfit back in those days.
    You can simply tell a 330 P4 from a 330 P3/4 by comparing the shutlines of the engine cover behind the doors. On the 330 P3/4 these are in line with the shutlines of the doors. It's a structural difference.

    It wasn't David. It was Ferrari who painted 0856 in 0846's livery and sold her that way.

    See the last pages of the 0846 thread.
