    OK--I had a thread on these cars on the old site and it now appears to be gone---so here goes---I'll post all I have along with all the pics that people have sent me over the years and everything I have done to mine.

    1st--I believe there are 5 in existance with mine being the last.
    2nd-- All are 3 or 6 carb models except mine which is EFI
    3rd-- The origional one was by David Goldsmith in Burlingame Calif

    the motor is 9" longer--it will fit.
    But--it is 10" more narrow and 160 lbs lighter
    actually fits rather well

    That has to be a 60 degree block, I don't see a 90 squeezing in there any better

    It looks like a single cam V-12. What gearbox/diff is on it? A 308 one, or something that comes with the V-12 or something else? Do you run it with air filters or straight velocity stacks?

    i remember , vividly, reading the r&t feature...it may have been in 85 or 86?

    at any rate the initial car was done as a gtb and all i could do is lust for it as i was only 18 yrs old. i loved it then and still love it now!!! will you give us some driving impressions and don't forget to tell us how she sounds!

    you have a very, very , very cool ferrari. i have recently reloed to charlotte...i wouldlove to meet in order to see your car. moreover, if you ever choose to sell, i would be a buyer.

    best,

    pcb

    it has a 328 efi motor installed right now--with the v-12 hopefully going into it in the fall
