    Looking closely it is a US spec car. Thus the extra bumper bits blocking the grilles and you can just make out the rectangular marker light next to his leg.

    A friend of mine recently acquired Newman's 308 GTB, I took a small road trip yesterday to go see it. He also acquired the Ford race transport, but that was being stored at another location.

    Here's a few photos.

    Was this car owned or prepared by Bob Sharp? As I recall he was one of PLN’s early mentors. And wasn’t he a Ferrari dealer at the time?

    The car was being under Ray Ramsey, Monterey, CA Ferrari dealer at the time. See in the windshield header "Ramsey Racing".

    Right. I didn’t realize Ramsey was a dealer.

    I think you meant 2002. Paul Newman died in 2008.
