Perhaps the best Elena ever! Very transparent, and with only about 10 miles on the superb restoration. Find another!

Dr. Ron Mulacek, a dentist, got 0393 GT in 1980 and repainted it off white/ivory. The running gear and suspension was restored by John Hajduk, Jim Riff did the electrics, Pete Sanchez the paint, Lake County Auto Upholstery the interior and Skip McCabe the accessory and trim. Bill Leahy reconstructed the rear fender fins which had been removed by a shop in Livorno, Italy, in 1968 or 1968. Leahy also recreated the grille surround and horizontal bars. Then fitted with fake license plates “MO 250 0393”. Mulacek sold 0393 GT in 1995 to the next owner who re-sold it to a man with a huge collection in Asia in June 1998. I inspected 0393 GT in February 2007, still ivory. Marcel Massini

I was there that year, my first Le Mans at 16, left a lasting impression! Under the truck's Oce word in white jacket Jean Claude Andruet, next to him Claude Ballot Lena. Fifth person left of him is Pierre Dieudonne. Fourth, partly hidden might be Daniel Marin, head of Pozzi. At far left second from left under umbrella is Lucien Guitteny.
That's the bag of fuel I walked a couple kilometers through Brescia to get! Some people in the streets thought I carried a bag of...beer and made snide remarks but I knew some Italian rude words so that's ok. I wrote an article for Prancing Horse about it. Bill Noon pouring it, Charlie A., owner of the car at left. An intense day, they broke down the next day on the way south alas...I picked them up in Florence where they had been driven from the east. The end of a few memorable weeks that started in Paris with the Tour Auto.
PS: The first page of the article in Prancing Horse issue 132. That was quite the eye rolling trip as the car never ran properly with the owner's wife's classic quote defining the whole experience: "Shoot the poor car." Image Unavailable, Please Login
