It would be a great car for college football game tailgating. Just paint it in the colors of you school.
I love it. Vignale managed to add equal doses of practicality and flamboyance to an already great car. And, more importantly, he made his customer happy! We need more coachbuilt cars!
I met one of the early owners of this car's son roughly 20 years ago in San Fransisco. His name is Scott Taub. I had several early photos of this 'brake' showing a bulldog mascot on the hood. Pretty unsightly, but it was the early 70s so I guess anything goes back then. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
This is the first time I viewed 330GT register, most impressive documentation! SN 7963 Detail I note in there that, in 1977, it was priced at $27,000--I was wondering if that's the lowest price I was ever offered? Was that Thorghbred (I think they spelled it wrong too...) a used car lot--where was that (they don't have city) Was that Ed Waterman's place in Arlington? Did the Chinettis hand Vignale a design on paper and say "Build this.." or was old man Vignale doing his own thing? It's a hard car to wrap your mind around with that love-it-or-hate-it emerald green paint.... It's pretty impressive that it went up to more than 3/4 of a million dollars from there.
Here's Jay Kay himself, filling the Vignale in a petrol station. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cn0-bOkndtY
