    I considered buying that car in 2000.

    I think Frank Sinatra drove a blue 246 GTS in one of the Canonball run films

    Probably old news to those reading this thread, but Dean owned a 400i, which at some point was brokered by Sheehan. Not knowing the particulars of the timeline, it's possible that Sheehan brokered the car only with knowledge of the Garrison connection, which if true, makes the story all the more interesting. Links to relevant content below. The Ohio article provides a lot of nice background and color to the story.

    I won't question whether or not Dean Martin ever drove 50807, but he didn't own this car. I knew Greg Garrison and 50807 was one of his cars.

    This line:

    sounds to me like someone trying to slyly attach celebrity status to his car.

    Okay, El Wayne, I know better than to try to match your knowledge of all that is Ferrari. Maybe you can change my post, then, to read that Dean was "claimed to have owned."

    Maybe Ricci would chime in with his opinion?
