    For those of you who liked the picture of my 275GTB here's a pic of the engine compartment. That is not a factory 6 carb setup. This was fabricated by Bob Norwood about 1975. Probably worked better than the factory one and never was a bit of trouble.

    Junior Brown is awesome. That man can play! And that's coming from a NYC boy.

    Thought it looked familiar. At the start of the 2000s I went to Texas Heatwave every year. Only the first year I went was the real fun allowed post show unfortunately.

    If I recall correctly, I think I told you to stop there and it was very underwhelming.

    For some reason I thought some Cadillac’s in the ground were way cooler than they are. Maybe having a can of spray paint with you makes it more fun!

    Sorry, Cadillac Ranch is lame. The Big Texan - also in Amarillo - ain't much better, I'm afraid. You're better off stopping at the Midpoint Cafe in Adrian for a slab of pie.
    Chocolate peanut butter pie highly recommended...T

    Bought from someone in FL. But the car was here in Katy Texas in 2015 … Its tan interior just like that car in your pictures... were you the owner of this car?

    it was underwhelming. BUT it is one of those things where if you happen to be driving by it, might as well stop and have a look. :)

    As far as I know, there is only ONE Rosso Corsa/Shields/Tan Daytona 456M GTa in the US. Are the brake calipers red? Does it have drilled brake rotors? (I spent $7K buying those OEM NOS brake disks and having them installed). If so, no doubt about it.

    That was my first f-car, and I sorted it out to perfection. Made it perfectly reliable. I'd have kept it forever if it was a manual.

    These are from New Mexico back in 2013. The car had 550 Barchetta wheels on it back then. That car has been all over the US. :)

    Doesn't seem to be the same one. Mine has silver calipers, and non drilled rotors.

    Somebody here keeps a list of all the VIN numbers for 456's and 456M's. He may have the VIN already, but he might not have the color and options. I'll see if I can figure out who it is, because I'm sure he'd like the info on your car. So there are two red M's with shields. Nice data point.

    You should go to the 456/456M/550/575M forum and post your info!

    Does your car have Daytona or standard seats?

    How can they have a city limit if there’s no limits?

    Standard seats.. I believe they have all the VIN info with details.. the PDF was recently posted in one of the 456 sub forums. I don't think the shields are factory though.

    A chance encounter years ago. I never met the owner of the other car, but he caused me a bit of trouble in my town. Nobody believed there were -two- grey 328s in the area, especially LEOs.
