Today I made my first big solo drive in 4247 GT. As many of you know, I purchased the derelict car in 2002, futzed with it for 12 years or so, drove it about 2 miles in Monterey in 2015 with a borrowed engine (thanks Scot!), around Palm Beach in January and on a shakedown drive with Tom Y a month or...

While trying to eliminate a front wheel squeak that reappeared after two weeks of trucking across the country, the wheel guy found two two spokes were loose, causing the wheel to be out of true. We fixed this, which did not fix the squeak, but that will be another post when we do identify the proble...

In your photos I see the fan clutch assembly which is cracked as so many seem to be. Do you know anybody who is rebuilding these? I was lucky enough to find a usable original one (and then switch to an electric fan), but a lot of GTE owners need these and we are running out of used ones.

Tom - Post some more photos of this car! I have never seen one in this color and am intrigued. As you know, my first awareness of the Ferrari brand was with the Dino. However, it really hit when Road and Track had that bright Yellow BB on the cover. I was really taken by that car. Of course, reality...

Thanks Clint! It has been a wild ride and it feels great to be this close to finishing the restoration and starting the next chapter where I get to drive it. There will be an update my crazy restoration in the next GTE Newsletter, by the way...

Yes, I agree, patina adds to the charm. The idea would to only use it on summer days where it regularly gets over 100 degrees here.

As 4247 GT will be coming home to California mid-summer, I would like to get covers for the front seats. With our high temperatures and no air conditioning, sweat is going to be a problem. Has anybody found good ones?

No problem. Being named Tommy, having a father named Mr. Wilson and a brother named Dennis, I have gotten quite used to it...

Still not working! The one that keeps appearing is 2000 and this one is 2020.

Somehow, those photos did not work. Should be:

2000 2020

When I first found my car in 2000, Tom was one of the first people I contacted. I searched online and his was the only name that came up! The site was primitive by today's standards, but hosted a great group of people who were determined to save the GTE. Today 4247 GT is in the final stages of its r...

I bought a used one from GTO Engineering and at the time they had 2 or 3 more. I did this because I was unable to find anyone who could rebuild mine.

Many years ago we were searching for this car that was spotted in North Carolina. It just popped up at Gullwing Motorcars and is 2325 GT, the Maranello Concessionaire's road tester. Anybody up for a project?

And thank you for all your help David. It couldn't have been finished in time without you.

I am not going to have the car judged.
