Todd Coady?

Post by Tom Wilson »

Anybody know Todd Coady or is he on this site? The December issue of Road and Track says the magazine gave him their trophy for his GTE at the Bobby Rahal Historic Races near Chicago. This trophy is generally awarded to the car at the event that the editors would most like to drive. Good looking car, too. Congrats to Todd!

I believe he did drive this GTE car to high school, as I recall

Gold level car I judged the car at the Nationals in Indianapolis 04

Car had had the engine to a CA spyder installed,
Bob Smith did the swap and rebuild

Todd is not on this board, best of my knowledge

His family owns several cars Maseratis and Ferrari, been around a long time
S/N 2367. It was his 15th Birthday present!

Tom, are you saying that 1663's motor is no longer the car? I know that Bobby did the resto, but I thought it was still with 1663 inside and that Davis' 1663 still has a restamp (maybe 2367s?).

Thanks

PS, nice appearance last night on "Chasing Classic Cars". Hopefully we'll see more of you!

Interestingly, the car was originally black with a turquoise interior. I tease Todd about not going back to the orginal interior color!!!

That is great that he has held the car so long. Was it new when he got it in High School (I have no idea how old he is)? I wonder how many original owners there are out there? Invite him to join the board. Sounds like he has a lot of GTE experience that would be interesting to hear.

If he got the car new, say, in 1963, and it was his last year in High School, today he would be 63 years old. Gosh, those algebraic equations come in handy
some times. (x+y)(x+y) = x squared + 2xy + y squared
