    even sad to see this, but for driving hard - sometimes beyond the limit - those cars had been made :)

    A question: how many (more or less) were transformed into 'M', and of these do we know how many 'M' survive?

    Thanks Marcel. Conversions were done both in and out of period by private individuals? I think I remember 1040 being the poster child of private mods to M spec, from Donahue's book, but I may be wrong... it remains my favorite 512, in any case...

    What I've read is that when Penske received 1040, they completed stripped/disassembled it and then went through it with a fine tooth comb on reassembly with an eye toward making any and all improvements they could before turning a wheel in anger. Motor was sent to Traco who handled the blueprinting/building to get the most out of the Ferrari engine.
