    Hello, Admiral!
    Thanks for posting those great videos and photo.
    When you drove it coast-to-coast, I'll bet it was a smooth comfortable quiet ride!
    I remember seeing it at NJ MSP but I did not see it on the track.
    Stunning car.
    I had no idea you sold it.

    Bob Z.

    Test drove one in that color. Think it's a handsome car, one of the better looking since PF went away IMO. Among the best? I'm not sure. But it was a blast to drive!

    This was a Trick question, This car in this form does not exist...yet.
    It is a design exercise from an Asian doctor who prefers to make spyders from coupes..
    He has already completed a 599 conversion..
    I will find and post it.

    No problem... Ferrari did make a 365GT that had 3 seats that has a bit of a dino front and sides... ( cant think of the model name. .. One version had an automatic transmission for Angelli...)

    That'd be @drkita. Great work.
    His 599 spider is very nice looking.

    The 365 P Berlinetta Speciale Tre Posti s/n 08815(Agnelli) and s/n 08971(with Chinetti for decades until recently). Don't believe that the Agnelli car had an automatic but some of his much later cars did.

    I thought Agnelli had a version of the Sportomatic type of transmission...I know he could not operate the clutch due to a leg injury... but I can be wrong!

    Bunch of old men. :)

    Love love the curves on the cars since 2000. Pininfarina nailed it but the Ferrari team is evolving nicely.

    I recall that one of his specials(F40 perhaps) had a Valeo transmission.

    Dear Bob,

    Happy you liked the videos and photo. Plenty more from where they came from…

    Coast to coast in a Lampredi four with 1955 suspension was NOT a smooth comfortable quiet ride, but it was something I had to do since the Navy was not about to ship the car back East for me. Crossing the continental divide in a blizzard in New Mexico and the heater was not working… There are several stories about that trip but I have already hijacked this thread enough.

    I did indeed have the car on track at the NJ MSP on the Thunderbolt course, one photo below. That weekend was memorable for several reasons. First, it was the first time on track after I finally got rid of the old original brake shoe linings and had new modern material installed. It took a few laps to bed them in but then they really began to work. At the end of the straight I started braking at the #5 marker and by the end of the second session I was braking just past the #2 marker. A world of difference from the old brake lining which felt like stepping on a brick and the car not even starting to slow.

    The other memorable part was taking five trophies!
    Enzo Ferrari Trophy - Best of Show
    Phil Hill Trophy - Best Competition Car
    Best Scaglietti Designed Car
    Coppa Bella Macchina Award
    Platinum Award - 100 Point car

    I was really prepared to drive for the Coppa GT Award particularly with the new brakes but an FCA registration foul up sadly prevented that effort.

    As far as the sale, 58 plus years was a record setting time, but it was time to let it move on, not an easy decision.

    Best regards,

    Robert

    can you see the broad smile???

    While it's not among the most popular vintage Ferraris, I personally love the understated elegance of the original PF 250GT Coupe. It has always seemed to me to be the perfect Businessman's Express:
