Need Your Help!
I've
been working on a wonderful 275GTB for over a year, and it's largely
done. It's an original 6 carb car with a bumper delete option, which
makes this car look so cool! As this restoration comes to completion,
we still have a couple small issues to address, and I'm hoping someone
can help me out.
The
stainless steel trim on the side of the car, under the door, has these
small steel clips that attach it to the car much like 330s with a
similar piece of trim. A couple of these pieces disintegrated when
they were removed, and Re-Originals is currently out of stock. The
owner of this car has called a couple of the usual suspects that may
carry these clips, but if anyone has any leads, or even better, has a
couple, I would love to hear from you!
On another note, I posted a request on the Vintage Ferrari Forum on
this website, but I know some of you may not have seen it there:
I've maintained this
Ferrari Website for 11 years, and one of my dreams was to find an
opportunity to hear about a Vintage Ferrari before anyone else. Through
the years, I heard of a few, and have even passed them on to owners
that are now members of this Ferrari Community. I've been watching the
story about GTE 3787 and how upset most Vintage Ferrari enthusiasts are
about the splitting up of this car for the benefit of a more valuable
Ferrari. I now may have the opportunity to save a GTE, and would like
to know if this is possible with the right person. There is nothing we
can do to save 3787 as a complete car now that the engine has been
removed, but I'm offering the Vintage Ferrari Community a chance to
save one. Can I prove to the capitalists and uncaring that these cars
are worth saving? If not, then this may all be talk.
I've gotten a good response to this post, but I want to give everyone a
fair shot at this car. Besides saving a GTE, I'm hoping to involved
with resurrection, and, just as importantly, share it on this site. I've learned a lot over
the years through the work done on my car and many others since then,
and continuing this sharing through this website would be just great. I
see everyone winning on many levels, but it all starts with an e-mail.
