Guzzi and Ferrari
« on: October 08, 2017, 01:34:52 PM »
One of these is mine; the other one is (I think) a

Ferrari 330 America . Beautiful day in Wisconsin for exercising Italian machines!

Nice picture!

I had a similar experience a few years ago, on my Le Mans III. I had stopped for coffee along River Rd., in Lumberville Pa., when a great sounding Ferrari Dino pulled up behind. We had a nice chat about vintage italian machines.

Nice picture, thank you. The rear over-hang grabbed me. Looks like that coupe has plenty of rear seat leg room. How unusual for the marque and generally for any coupe.  R3~

 There was a Guzzi for sale a few years back that the seller claimed was built with Ferrari parts  :shocked:

I think that Guzzi was a Jackal being ridden in eastern Okla.  The owner is a real head case.

Here's yet another take on Italian machinery, from " the best of Craigslist ".

https://www.craigslist.org/about/best/esh/6324690044.html

" Since I was a kid I lusted after those Italian curves and exhaust note. Now my own kids come to me and ask me why there's no food to eat and the electricity has been turned off and I have to tell them it's because Daddy's car is sick again. "

That's the combustion chamber of the turbo shaft. It is supposed to be on fire. You just don't usually see it but the case and fairing fell off.

I almost bought a Ferrari Dino when I was in my 20's.  New they were $11,000.  My monthly salary was only $650.  I did test drive it.  Loved that thing.  Instead I got an Alfa Spider.  Sold it less than a year later.  Every time I drove it I thought about the Dino.

Assuming for a moment that it is a 330 America, that would make it one of 50(!)

It appears to be a 250GTE.  Not the most desirable Ferrari, however I wouldn't kick it out of my garage...

Ferrari 355, and a LeMans

Yep.  That's my V11 LeMans.  Photo taken in Pagosa Springs Colorado, September 2006.

I got the chance to take a 360 Modena for a short drive. I hadn't driven a car that poorly since I was 16 years old.
I'll never try paddle shifters again.

  A Guzzi engine has more in common with a Corvette than a Ferrari... :grin:
