Steve Fichter Posted July 20, 2008 Posted July 20, 2008 Well kind of anyway. At least for the lineup for the track tour at Elkhart Lake, my Seven was a "nose" ahead of this gorgeous Ferrari. Not an affectionado so couldn't tell you the model Ferrari but I could tell is was mucho expensive. And I did get a nice complement from the driver about my Seven. Nice guy! Track photos of my car at speed due to show up soon on the internet. I'll post a link when they're available. Cheers!

11Budlite Posted July 21, 2008 Posted July 21, 2008 "Looks like a late 60's Dino" - I'm not familiar with that model, but I think being front engined it'd be from the late 50's. Looking good Steve! Bruce :7drive:
Kitcat Posted July 21, 2008 Posted July 21, 2008 Looks like a late 50's Testa Rosa 250. It has knock-off wire wheels wh/were the style back then. If so, it's worth around $5-6M. A '62 just sold for $10.5M!
slngsht Posted July 21, 2008 Posted July 21, 2008 heh, I just googled Dino, and this looks nothing like the Dino :lol:
JohnCh Posted July 21, 2008 Posted July 21, 2008 That is a Ferrari TR60. Phil Hill won Le Mans in TR60 #9, so assuming that number on the hood isn't just a tribute, that is a very special car! -John
pksurveyor Posted July 21, 2008 Posted July 21, 2008 The September editon of Hemmings Sports & Exotic Car just arrived in today's mail. The cover page car is an almost identical Ferrari Testarossa.
shiva Posted July 22, 2008 Posted July 22, 2008 That is a Ferrari TR60. Phil Hill won Le Mans in TR60 #9, so assuming that number on the hood isn't just a tribute, that is a very special car! -John Picture from the real #9 http://www.velocetoday.com/images/feb04/c8.jpg And by the way, TR == Testa rossa Very nice car indeed
S1Steve Posted July 22, 2008 Posted July 22, 2008 1959 Ferrari 196S,It may be a replica ?, Thats OK I'll still take one in Fly Yellow. Steve
JohnCh Posted July 22, 2008 Posted July 22, 2008 I think I was wrong and Steve is right, Dino 196S. The car is left hand drive, and I seem to recall that all the TR59/60s were right hand drive (of course Ferrari of that era was anything but consistent). The dead give-away of course is the number of velocity stacks showing through the hood scoop. Do you recall if it was 6 or 12? -John
slngsht Posted July 22, 2008 Posted July 22, 2008 Heh, I knew for some reason "Dino" popped in my head :lol:
S1Steve Posted July 22, 2008 Posted July 22, 2008 196s, sometimes there is Dino after. V6, three made , two survive, Big Bucks. While looking for info on a 196, seems someone made 27 or so copys, Steve
stevet Posted July 24, 2008 Posted July 24, 2008 I would put serious money on that being a replica. There are some amazing Ferrari replicas out there, some of them even officially sanctioned by the factory, like this one here that belongs to a mate of mine in England - has full FIA racing papers from 1964. http://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/upload/1862374532_suggies GTO.JPG
