Euro GT4 in SoCal. Not much information.

I speak for that one but many are converted US cars. Took mine out today trying to get the carbs and timing set.

 

Here’s a California jewel, it’s missing the title

^ a veritable “stone in the rough”. Lots of work for some keen owner with electrical expertise but the price is optimistic at best.

I like the "ran when parked" comment most. So it worked before you broke it....

 

Is this anyone’s here?

The Ferrari script on the front is awful.

 

Nice interior pics

 

Agreed

That is another BHCC vehicle. “Fresh out of storage”

 

I'm hardly and expert, but love GT4s. Is any of the scripts and horse appropriate on that car? There is one on the hood, one on the engine lid, and a horse on the back.
It seems a lot of these cars got tarted up with extra emblems in the 80s and 90s in particular...Dino 246s too.

 

Several interesting things:
1) The car is a Series 1 (1974-75) based on the Dino badge in front, and the lack of aluminum bar across the glove box, and the thermo-reactor muffler with curved tips.
2) The serial number (14893) is incorrect for a Dino. All 308 Dinos have even S/Ns. Dino S/Ns in the 14K range are for 1979-1980... but again, they would be even numbers.
3) The Ferrari script is incorrect, period. Dino badges were only on Series 1 cars, although Ferrari issued a service bulletin allowing dealers to install a rectangular Cavallino badge above the Dino badge in front. They also authorized installation of the chrome prancing horse on the rear. The wheel caps and horn button were Dino script for Series 1 cars, and I don't recall them being covered in the aforementioned service bulletin.

 

Whoever said yes to those bumpers should’ve been put to death or sterilized at the bare minimum and their children not allowed to be schooled. I feel strongly about this one

 

They are quite fond of the GT4’s, they have a nice write up on them on their web sight. Never have had any dealings with them so I’m of no opinion on them. They do have many fixer uppers but that’s not a bad thing for those looking for such.

All correct. I couldn’t of worded it like you did.

 

Ah, yes, good catch. The 'picnic table' bumpers were early Series 1 (1974) bumpers for the US market. Remember the "5 MPH - no damage" requirement that the insurance industry managed to get codified into US law? These bumpers were replaced by slightly less unattractive bumpers with end-caps on the sides so they didn't look like an afterthought. The European bumpers are much more aesthetically pleasing than US bumpers, though, and clearly Gandini's original design intent.

 

The dye job on the interior looks like a can of Krylon Vivid Red was used.

 

Those bumpers are sticking out too far. I suspect it had incorrect, too long bumper shocks installed. They didnt have huge empty air space between the end of the body work and the rear edge of the bumper.

 

This one is a lot cheaper, auction is close or over now though

Go get er !!

 

I’m out of space! I have several cars sitting in a friends shop in Germany that I haven’t seen in years

 

Wow. You better get moving.

 

I thought it might be just the typical quart of Armor All that was applied...but maybe it is just freshly applied dye
