0627

I have revived an old and interesting post that was forgotten by all
well done david grace

 

0627 can't be seen as a Speciale if it didn't leave the factory that way.
Not unlike 2819 GT, the infamous Breadvan, 0627 is a special case in that the work was done in period by recognized partner/collaborators of Ferrari.
The value should be unique to this car- more than a Boano, less than a 'real' Cal Spyder.
Like the Breadvan, it's an unique historical object and I believe it would be a huge mistake not to leave it the way it is.

 

If it was actually rebodied by Scaglietti, I don't think 0627 would qualify as a car of Historical Interest, as the Breadvan does, to merit a Classiche White Book.

 

I was speaking more broadly in the sense that it should be recognized for its uniqueness in the Ferrari history timeline.
I hope 0627 never has an owner who would rebody her (and destroy all that history) just for the sake of a very expensive book.

 

No worries Dave.
While my interest wouldn't be doing it "for the sake of a book", chances of something like 0627 and all other necessary components required for appropriate(?) reconfiguration back to OEM specs coming to my ownership are far below minimal...

... but rest assured, should an opportunity present itself, there are approaches where destruction of "all that history" is not necessarily given.
In fact, probably vast majority of it could be preserved and with careful planning/preparations even reversed, should some other future owner desire to do so.

 

was there any back story as to why this was done in period? from simply a financial standpoint it doesn't seem like there would have been that much difference in just getting a new one.

 

Cars crash and sometimes need to have their body fixed.

Would that have been 0829 GT?

Yes.

Heh, no way.

($#@&*$# I hate the renewed site design!)

 

0829GT.

If, as claimed and stated, the work was done by both Ferrari and Scaglietti in repairing 250 GT PF Cab S1 0829GT to a California Spyder SWB body with Dunlop disc brakes, retaining the Long Wheelbase chassis of the PF Cab S1, then it would be eligible to be attested for a Classiche Red Book.

The body has both LWB and SWB details, and the interior has the later SWB glove box.

 

Agreed...the way the images and text get muddled is w4nky.
I wasn’t asking if this was 0829 GT in my images, I was asking if 0829 GT was the car Scaglietti was referring to when he stated he rebuilt a crashed car in to California configuration.
