Ferrari Burried Alive!!!!

Excellent read!

 

I wonder was concrete poured directly onto the 330 America in Texas or just on top of the bunker?

 

Fascinating story, thanks. It's good that someone ended up giving that lovely Dino some care.

 

Interesting story.

 

wow very interesting. the thing people do to Ferraris.

 

I don't recall anything about the poured concrete...just that the car and occupant were enclosed in a concrete bunker.

 

As I recall from that story, car & body were placed in the concrete "box" bunker, the
concrete lid placed on top, then concrete poured up to grade to keep grave
robbers at bay.

I also seem to recall that the actual car got switched with a lesser value car right
before the burial....

thanks for the story--good stuff!

 

The 330 America was the lesser value car.

 

That's right... the original was to be a 250. Thanks for the reminder.

Good choice of car! I can't imagine that being done in a Kia...

 

Hell yes!!

 

Discussed here "way back yonder" I believe : http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/showthread.php?t=348156

I believe the original was to be a Daytona Spyder... at least, according to her relative who posted on here. The 330 had been wrecked previous to her death. However, I think her will was a little vague on exactly which Ferrari was to be used.

 

Surely somebody knows where the car is? What an incredible story!

 

Someone seemed to think it would look like this?

Cool story Spencer, thanks for sharing it.

 

I do remember reading that the car was in somewhat shabby condition.

In those days, a production 250 GTE fetched a higher price than an America?

 

I'd guess there wasn't a whole lot of difference then. However, there was a big difference between a wrecked 330 America and a good Daytona Spyder!
