I have had a James Bond like trail of blueish smoke after my brake booster developed a leak in the old Alfa...very common in cars that have not been used on a regular basis. Definitely blowing out of the exhaust and coinciding with the pegged oil temp and (resultant?) loss of power. I have also had...

GTE troubles... theories?
Driving the GTE to Crystal Cove on Saturday morning, I noticed a serious lack of power on long inclines. It became so bad that, with the OD off and the pedal on the floor, the (optimistic) speedo was maxed out at below 100kph. Meanwhile, I was all the way over in the right lane and being passed by l...

...the body has been stripped to bare metal and is getting a "Pebble Beach" restoration (the shop doing it won a "Platinum Award" at Pebble for a Dino in Aug 2004) here in Dallas. Steve, congratulations. I look forward to seeing photos of the car when it's completed. By the way, there was no award-...

Hi Grumpy, The car was never for sale. The person who listed the car on ebay was not the owner, only someone who knew the whereabouts of the car and thought that, if he could draw a high enough bid, he could buy and flip the car. This is not the first time he has offered this car for sale when it wa...

The car is the real deal: the one and only alloy-bodied Daytona road car. I think that at issue here is the fact that the eBay seller and the actual owner of the car are two different people. CORRECTION: Though Hilary Raab listed this car in his s/n book as being alloy-bodied, Bill Noon of Symbolic...

Up until recently, I was also considering 365 GTs and I personally inspected the two at Heritage Classics. 12549 didn't do much for me. It just wasn't in the kind of condition that I was looking for so I didn't pay it much attention. I do remember that the ignition switch looks as though it has been...

Wayne I just noticed that we both have the EXACT same join date! September 3, 2002. Is that weird or what? John John, check out Art S.' join date. I actually joined in July or August of '02 but Tom switched software on September 3 and we all had to rejoin. I remember that the switch eliminated the ...
