Funny you mentioned that. The dealer that ordered the 77 GTB I described above apparently was late getting a deposit to Ferrari, or the bank was, or some such. Anyway some of the telegrams were Ferrari telling them they were not going to start the car until they got the cash, lol. The car was ordered in July 1976 and construction didn't start until Feb or Mar 77 because of the money delays. As a comparison my car was ordered in Dec just before Xmas and Ferrari began building it the day after New Years. It was done by the 27th.
