4619 SA according to recent internet reports that went viral, Kun hee Lee, Chairman of Samsung corp , bought a stolen car, which shouldn't make him an owner... at least until the matter is cleared up... one would think that a transaction at that level of prevenance and value, the purchaser and legal team, one would assume wouldn't collectively have their heads where it don't shine
Irving Laidlaw; Jon Shirley; Yoshiho Matsuda; P. Paul Pappalardo; Jim Jaeger. Picky, picky. I think Carlos Hank R. owns Mexico's phone system, or something like that.

Bob Zambelli, in a PM, brought up the name of Carle Conway, which reminded me of another of my tales. Back in the 60's, one drove whatever one owned. There was no such thing as a garage queen; they were just used Ferraris. In SoCal we has a very active club, with plenty of socializing. Dan Ward was one of our most active members. It happened that he had 5575, the last GTO. Now I was doing a lot of trading, and always on the lookout for a "deal", so when people started getting interested in GTO's, I repeatedly asked Dan if he would consider selling. The answer was always a firm "no". So when Carle Conway (a true gentleman with whom I was acquainted) called to ask if Dan would consider selling, I was so tired of asking that I responded, "No, but here's his number if you want to try". Well, of course they ended up making a deal, without your chronicler in the middle! Oh well, win some and lose some. The moral is never put your hustle down. FYI, the price was probably around $10,000, but no longer sure.
Thanks for sharing another of your interesting stories, Ed. I wonder what the price was this year when it changed hands? Barchetta info on 250 GTO/64 5575: http://www.barchetta.cc/english/all.ferraris/detail/5575gt.250gto.htm
Any idea what year this might have been - even roughly? My random notes say Ward had it in 1966, and by 1976 it was with Conway, so sometime in between, most likely...

according to barchetta.cc 3451 has been restored in 2012 to its original Targa Florio colors. I assume they mean the marroon with the white roof. Can anyone confirm? Perhaps any pics avaliable?
I don't have recent images, but I do have a question about this car at the TF in '62. Does anyone have a color image that clearly shows that the dark color was maroon and not black?

Thanks, Wayne. I knew you'd know. Talking of 3987GT. I saw this today: [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GgCtMIrBa-w[/ame]
Well, I can only hope for the Brown Car Appreciation Society that the car is indeed the "oreo cookie awesomeness" that they precieve it to be Morning Qualifying ? Brown Car Appreciation Society edition | Hooniverse

Quote from the April 2013 issue of "Hemmings Sports & Exotic Car": "The Jaguar (XK-SS) has superior Dunlop disc brakes front and rear, unlike the GTO's four-wheel drum setup..." And yes, they are referring to the Ferrari 250GTO, not the Pontiac GTO.
