my only big rock star story..

[Reli]

Whoah.........dude that is hot. Is that a 330 GT?

I LOVE front-engined Ferraris, they are much classier-looking than the Guido/Jersey Shore mid-engined ones.

no reli --thats just a plain old 250 GT

very much a race car (inside )
but looks like a sleeper passenger ride

chris !!!
yes --it ran soooooooo smooth

like an idiot -- who knew ????

i traded it --a few years later for a big-block vette

WOW, that's a hell of a story....at least you can say you did have a 50's Ferrari....

So....lets here the Vette story!

 

[redbenjoe]

sure -
67 // 427 cubes // 435 HP -- all original - silver coupe

had the greatest and most exciting ...

race up a STEEP hill acceleration of anything i had even been in
or heard of !!!!

i know there are lots of great stats for doing ZERO to 60 --
on a flat track -
this did all that --

but -- doing it uphill --was the ultimate driving thrill
---------------------

( sold that too ) :'-(

That too was a bad ass ride! At least you can say you had one of each!

i cant find our very recent thread about the passing of j geils - where is it ??

anyway --so sorry to learn that we lost a great musician and a terrific // humble person...

from the times i knew him --he sure did have a spectacular and happy life

 

[Northerner]

Wow awesome story! Sad that he's now gone

 

[Reli]

and WAIT forever for a replacement 12 cylinder 250cc engine
to come along -- yeah right :'-(
---------------------

For a minute I was like, a V12 the size of a dirt bike motor????

Then I google'd it

It is actually a 3-liter motor (2,953 cc). The "250" refers to the size of ONE of its cylinders.

You don't want to know what that Ferrari is worth now!! A lot more than a 427 Corvette.
