O M G. Fake cars, fake pix..........fake everything, we are f***ed....... That Sunoco 512 M is a bit too small compared to the yellow 512........ Marcel Massini
Here again that 512 is a bit too small compared to that white thing in the back........... Who the hell is doing this photoshop b.s. and especially for what reason? Marcel Massini
I am sorry, the last thing I wanted to post were fake pics. Damn, who is putting all this rubbish on the internet???

I recall seeing the advert in a 1990s edition of Classic and Sportscar but I had no idea at the time of whether it was real or not. $950k must have been roughly market considering #1030 sold for $995k in 1994. Its interesting that just 26 years later, with the advent of the internet, it seems impossible that anyone wouldn't be able to easily access this cars history.

Ferrari 512 type 261 C engine #22. This engine was used in 512 chassis #1022, #1026 and #1044. Marcel Massini Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
Sure and todays its super easy to google any Ferrari and find screeds of information. Back in 1996, not so much. You could contact an expert such as yourself, buy an out of date book or what, rely on Hajduks claims that it was as last raced or whatever. Apart from the fake chassis and fake parts and fake engine it probably was lol. For all its faults, the internet has been a wonderful invention for sharing information.
Marcel, you know perhaps why the engine number looks so strange? 261 is in one row, then a little more up the C, then the N same size as the 261 and same level and then 22 smaler letters I wonder about this
That is absolutely normal and there's nothing wrong at all. Please do not try to apply (use) 2020 standards, where everything is perfect, robotized, and bullet proof. These stampings happened 50 or more years ago and by hand. Here are a few more such stampings on 512 and 712 engines.

A few more 512 engine number stampings. Type 261 is for the 512 S. Type 261 C is for the 512 M. Type 263 C is the same as 261 C. Type 263 is for the 612 Can-Am and 712 Can-Am (like 256 C) Marcel Massini Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
