Your Favourite Pininfarina's Ferrari

P 4/5.

Daytona.

 

Enzo era 250 GTO

Luca era P 4/5.

 

Exactly!

For many years I owned 330 GTC Speciale 8727. Restored it in my garage, pretty much.

Dark blue with tan seats (originally had light blue fabric seats)

This was Sergio's personal car. He had it modified to suit his taste. Since some of the modifications showed up on the 365 GTC, I beleive this was the 365 GTC prototype. Others will argue otherwise.

It also had the pop-up driving lights like the 365 California Spyder and some of the SuperFast/SuperAmericas.

Anyway, on a personal level this is my favorite Pininfarina Ferrari. I hope to see it again some day.

Oh...and the license plate was PF'S EX (with the appostrophe added by me).

Hence my tag here on FChat

 

Could not figure that out before, thought it was something I had not heard off.

it is my understanding that the 250 GTO was by Scaglietti,not Pininfarina

 

I believe Pininfarina didn't design the 250 GTO series 1, but did design the series 2 (1964). Of course Pininfarina designed the 250 GT Sperimentale and that Superamerica-style body is still one of my favorite PF designs. But there are many homeruns, like the 250 GT Cabriolet series 1 and the 212 Inter.

 

I'll go for the relatively modest (compared to other choices in the thread) Ferrari 348.

All the best,
Andrew.

 

Remove the 250 gto then. The other 2 stands for me.

 

1965 Dino 206/246 GTS
1987 F40
1994 F355 GTS
2000 360 Spider
2002 Enzo
2012 458 Spider*

Hoping there is one in my future.

 

Hi, John...

Do you remember when you bought this car and when you sold it? After you owned it, it was off my radar until it showed up at a Gooding auction in Scottsdale in 2008. Did you buy it from Fantasy Junction? They had it for sale in 1982 and early '83. Back in the late '70s, Ferrari of San Francisco advertised it as the Geneva Salon and Paris show car - the subsequent owner, John Mason, sued them for misrepresenting the car.

 

Of course I remember all of that stuff.

My partner Jim H bought it from Fantasy Junction in the early 1980s. He drove it a lot - it was his only car for a while. I bought half interest from him in about 1987. Restoration process - in my garage - began in very late 80 or ealry 90s.

That was when I found the holes cut in the nose (and other mysterious brackets) for the pop-up lights. I contacted your buddy Gerald the Rousch to get information and he accused me of trying to 'gild the lilly' on what was already a special car - essentially called me a cheat - hurt my feelings he did. Anyway, no documentation available on the lights from anyone.

Car was restored without the pop-up lights by the early 2000s. Finally got the documentation on the pop-up lights in about 2005. Had Steve Mold (I know that is wrong but I can't think of the name right now - the guy in Oakland who has suddenly become very famous) install the lights using one of Eric Z's cars as a model.

After the long odyssey of this - I wanted to sell it as soon as it weas done - before anything could go wrong. I was sick of seeing it - sick of working on it. It was too important - worth too much for peons like us to own - I heard that a lot. Something did fall on it during an earthquake in the Bay Area in about 2006. Car was sold in 2007 - Brandon L brokered it. Immediatley therefater (*a few months later) the buyer resold it at the Gooding auction you mention.

 

308 GTB/GTS: A design masterpiece!

It has an elegance combined with sensual curves that most women can only wish for!

 

I think the two turbo cars, the 288GTO and the F40 are pretty much the most stunning cars I've ever seen. I think you have to be around my age (mid 30's) to feel like that, though. Other than that, I really do love the 308/328 in GTB form, 250SWB, and the Daytona coupe.

 

F40 all day
