Several days after this posting, I received mail from a fellow viewer, Dave Freer:
I just checked some photos and that maroon GTE is definitely my 3905.
I
bought it from our local Ferrari dealer in 1979 and put 20K miles
on it
until laid up needing work (wheel bearings and exhaust) in 1986.
Problems
with time, money, and health kept it in storage until mid-2000 when
I
finally got to work on a cleanup/fixup and minor restoration.
I sold the car to Greg Jones this past April. It was complete and
sound,
running well, with all problems sorted, including a new SS exhaust
system. I
dare say the innards are in one of Greg's GTO's by now. I try not
to think
about it.
regards, Dave Freer
Dave and I are both saddened to see what has happened to this car. He has offered any information on this car if someone wants to buy it. Unfortunately, what is done, is done, but if anyone out there finds themselves in a similar situation, PLEASE, PLEASE, let me help you find it a good home to keep this from happening to another old Ferrari! A salvageable 2+2 is a pretty good car, and shouldn't be stripped to make a replica!!!
