    Just got a shot of a key that needs identifying. That I'm posting here in vintage is all the clue you get for now.

    More clues to follow if you don't get it from this shot.

    Winner gets...... nothing except the satisfaction of being the 1st to correctly answer the question, and with the permission of the owner, a nice poster sized print of the car.

    That looks like a door key to me, similar to my 330 door key. As you have a Dino, I would guess its your Dino's door key.

    The head looks like the one on a 330 GT trunk key.

    Two more excellent guesses, but wrong.

    It is not a door key. and it is not for my Dino, or a 330.

    An additional clue will be forthcoming before lunch.

    The key is sitting on the car in this picture. It's not my car, but it is a famous one.

    Next picture will give it away, so keep those guesses coming.

    Ahh.......NO.

    Ignition key, famous car, vintage section, that I would have some access to and it isn't my Dino.

    C'mon, lean into it. YOU CAN DO IT!!!!!!!

    I insulted the owner once, apologized, and struck up a friendship with him.

    He's actually a very good guy, with an incredibly nice collection of cars, but was somewhat put off by his rude reception here some months ago, and has not returned, except, I suspect, to occasionally lurk about.

    He send me this to post for some fun.

    You'd be surprized how shy some of the wealthier owners are and how much stuff they have to deal with because of their good fortune.

    For example, in the early 1990's the PNW Ferrari club had a garage event in Seattle that Paul Allen attended (ex-MicroSoft founder/top ten richest in the world). Most of us were trying to act casual until this one club member's girlfriend crooned outloud
    "Oh gawd, you're Paul Allen!?! Have I got a great business opportunity for you..." and proceeded to try to convince him to invest in her idea.
    I rolled my eyes and it was all I could do to stop myself from muttering "bimbo" under my breath. We didn't see Paul for a long time after that.
