    We had a super busy week at FCA Nationals and it was a privilege being able to host everyone in our hometown! Needless to say, being a Ferrari repair shop headquartered in Charlotte, NC (www.automotive-international.com), we were extremely busy all week, not to mention the past few months prepping cars for the event. Nevertheless, it was well worth it as we had 9 cars achieve platino, with 5 major awards and 5 Copa Bella Machina's. Thanks to everyone for trusting our shop preparing their cars and I look forward to seeing everyone at Cavallino and Monticello in 2026.

    I will re-ask, do you have any photos of 44421 chassis number in period?
    Either steering column, chassis, or otherwise? ( So I assume asking for them now is rhetorical, if they never existed )

    A crash tested vehicle does not simply stop existing because it was damaged.
    And there's significantly more to 44421 than just an engine stamped *00003*

    Yes, I see this as an attempt to legitimize a car that clearly still exists....

    S

    p.s. It took the factory over 18 months to acknowledge this chassis ever existed, they do now.

    Is this car Ferrari Classiche red book certified? Date of certification? Number of the certificate?
    If certified, photos of the various stampings could be found in the red book.
    Are you the current owner of the vehicle in question?

    1. Not yet , application was submitted 9/2024

    4. I am not

    I will take your obvious avoidance to mean that you do not have any photos or documentation showing that there ever was a chassis number stamped or otherwise indicated on 44421.

    Other than the few photos that you have previously shared openly, do you have additional first hand knowledge of 44421 history?
    Do you know where the driveline went after the factory "disposed of " the body? Do you know how it made it back to Texas?
    Do you know how 44421 made its way to the United States and who had custody of it over the years?

    Other " accepted " Ferrari prototypes have been documented as not having their stampings, so it's not unique to 44421 , some have had it added after the fact as well.

    ** Moderators, if you want to pull these posts from this topic and put them in the 288 thread, we may be able to get the OP discussion back on track.

    Feel free to create a new thread about "44421" in the 288 GTO section.

    At least two real and genuine 288 GTO's had a yellow stripe. Look at 56209.

    That "288 GTO" badge was not on that car's rear panel in 2017.
    Photos in my archive.

    This was my first FCA Annual Meet. Overall a great experience. My 348 won a Platino and passed Coppa Bella Macchina. It's the Argento 348 TS in previous posts with the Black Scedoni Luggage

    Pic originates from page 16 of the book "Ferrari GTO", Art & Car Edition, by Jürgen Lewandowski, published 1987.
