Ferrari GTOs at Willow Springs &...

First three cars an E Type, 250 Lusso and a GTO, only trouble with that is it's very difficult to continue trading up after those

 

Unbelievably cool footage again!!!!

Thanks a million for sharing!!

 

For those who don't subscribe to Ferrari Market Letter, I did a story a year or so ago featuring Peter's California and his tiger-striped TdF, called "A Subtle Civil War".

 

Stephen,
When you say "pearl white 427 Cobra" there was one Cobra painted pearlescent white when new by Marv Tonkin Ford. The first owner (1967) is reported as Al Pino, Portland, Oregon. He owned it until '73 or '74. Does that name sound familier?

 

brilliant stuff!! The army livery was outstanding! I have never seen that before.

 

The Tossi GTO must be the one we bought from him in 1970 for $8,400, #3765.

There must be a story under that primer.....

Yes, Cliff- Mario Tosi's GTO was indeed 3765 LM with its one-off, characteristic 'slit' nose modification where the 3 holes are usually found. As I mentioned elsewhere (perhaps earlier on this thread..), the slit remained until the car was restored circa 1990- at which time the decision was made to return it to its original '62 Le Mans configuration.

Best,
Dave

 

I'd love to know if they kept the original factory "slit" nose (ex 65 Targa Florio etc) they cut off!!

Thanks again for the fantastic footage and commentary!

Is there an ETA on your documentary being completed, or have I perhaps missed that somewhere?

>8^)

It's certainly possible. I was around the car and its home for a good bit when it was finished. That's something I never thought to ask about.

 

Steven,
Friday, late afternoon, downtown Carmel, for casual drinks somewhere?

George

 

Way, Way Cool!!

 

S.M.,

Thank you for sharing! These videos are a great window into the past!

Regards,

Art S.

 

Fab!! So nice to see this footage, what a wonderful time that was. Thank you

 

Just when you think that it can't get better after the first 2 video's Stephen comes up with number 3.

Stephen, are we to expect more of this to come out of your treasure chest? It's breathtaking stuff!

 

Things like this never cease to amaze me!!!

How nice to see a PF Coupe in great comany in a historic clip. HOwever, it does demonstrate that the Coupe should never be a red car!! - Dark colours or silver are much kinder to that elegant shape!

 

Thanks, Stephen. Marvelous stuff! Interesting your comments on the Lusso. Really enjoyed the Army paint job on the Spyder.

 

I found this thread worthy of revival after over a decade.
The footage is amazing and I imagine many here have not seen it as of yet.
Go to the first post and watch the Youtube footage, amazing.

 

where did the original poster go?

 

Not sure, many people come and go over the years.
There are more videos on page 2, amazing stuff!
