i love the Vignale bodied ferraris, and that one is particularly beautiful.
Honor. Courage. Commitment. Etcetera.
Vignale? Very nice, they can't seem to make a body that isn't beautiful.
Buying a car and not driving it is like buying a meal and not eating it.
"Oh sh*t, we're going..25!!" - A dear friend of mine.
i have often wondered in these classic cars are those side vents functional or ont. And if they are what are they connected to
Looking for period photos of this Vignale racing coupe 0168ED
Thank you in advance
They vent the engine compartment. Revo, nice pics from the RM site. Sebring 1953 and the guy is one of the Yung brothers, a very interesting history of 0168ED is provided here: RM Auctions
Hard to believe this car was so badly kept after it was no longer a useful racer, and once suffered with a SBC lump! Considering it's race history why did a Corvette V8 end up in there? RM had a 166MM Spider in the same sale with the engine for this car. Deep pocket crowd, that... check out this auction notice: "NOTE: The original, ‘0168ED’ engine is installed in the 166MM Spider Scaglietti, also available at this sale, and presents a virtually unique opportunity to reunite the original engine with the 225S." $$$: eek:
Shaunessy, you might check with Alan Boe, historian for Cavallino Magazine. I don't have the issue in front of me but IIRC there were several photos published when this car was featured last year (or perhaps it was 2007?)
Never own more cars than you can keep charged batteries in...
