Erik - I had the original paint codes from Ferrari, but we were not able to find a match. The photos on my site appear a little darker than the color actually is, but not much. We found virgin original paint on the fender brackets behind the headlights (and some on the inside of the doors). Then it...

I had one for a few years. It's a very large car compared to a 330 for example, or perhaps more correctly, due to the driving position and beltline height if FEELS like a big car.

Great motor, great box, wonderful looks. Quite different from a Ferrari in feel. Heavier somehow.

OK, now I'm truly confused. Ferrari informs me that the car was originally Grigio Fumo with a Pella Rosso interior. That's what I remember from when the car was in my family from 1966-1970. I also clearly remember that the car was a non-metallic darkish gray color, a little darker than battleship gr...

Lovely stuff. I have about the same amount of work coming up. One thing your photos have convinced me of is that my car was NOToriginally grigio fumo as believed. The color on your car looks like a dark silver/gray. My car was what I would call "Battleship Gray." Somewhat lighter and more grayish th...

Tom, If you would not mind acting as intermediary, I would surely appreciate it. Sounds like a bumper is possible (let me know the condition for a final decision if you would), the hinged trunk floor, and the shift knob lock nut. I'd take a chance on the splash shields if they look anything like the...

I sent Dino and his buddy a whole list of stuff and never heard word one back from them. What is it with people who claim to want to sell stuff and then don't ever respond back with prices? I'd like (for a 330 GT 2+2 series 1), a rear bumper, the carpeted trunk floor panel, the chrome rocker panel s...

Bill replied with color information on the 16 cars. 4959 seems to be a likely candidate and it is in the US. Anyone have an idea of who might own it now?

I suspect that Bill must be around the Monterey area and computerless, because I have received no response from him since I emailed him last week. Hopefully once the whole fiesta is over he can get back to me. Luke, thanks so much for those two numbers. Gray and red is what we both remember so it ma...

No Luke, you misunderstood me. I didn't mean for you to look through all the entries, just these 16 chassis numbers which were cars delivered to Auto Becker: 2213-2397-2427-2761-3153-3267-3595-3817-3947-3969-4011-4161-4261-4559-4771-4959 Any of these in gray or silver would likely be the car we're s...

I emailed Mr. Preston yesterday, but so far no response.

Lukek, would you mind looking up the numbers I posted in the original post and see if any of those s/n s were silver or gray?

Please help me find a specific 250 GTE

Here's a puzzler. My best and oldest friend's father owned a 250 GTE from new which he traded in 1964 for a 330. My friend has no idea what the chassis number was and his father died. Is there a 250 GTE registry online similar to the two 330 registries? My friend would like to find the car if it exi...

Dandy article guys. Also nice to see an article about Ferraris that aren't all RED. :) My 330 GT is resale red at the moment, but when body work commences I'm going back to the original Grigio Scuro color.
