Dyno Testing the 1960 Ferrari 250 GT

We took the red 1960 Ferrari 250 GT to the dyno earlier this week. This is a Pininfarina bodied convertible and is more beautiful than a high-school cheerleading captain. Still, its very close relative, the 250 California commands a much higher price – most people can’t afford to tell the difference. This 250 GT has an amazing sound that’s enhanced by a tasteful aftermarket exhaust, though nearly drowned out by the carburetors at full song – turn it down if you’re at work.

Trucks at Cavallino

Some friends of mine out of Tennessee converted this retired Ford/Grumman fire truck into a car hauler. It has a 235 Caterpillar engine and goes right  down the road. They have some great motor sports stickers all over the truck but are looking for more so if you have any I am sure they would like some more.

Ferrari Custom A/C Evaporator

While working to locate A/C parts for our Ferrari 330 GTS project, a man asked me to locate a evaporator for his car, a 1967 Ferrari 330 GTC that uses the same unit as the GTS. I searched all over for a unit for the GTC but I probably purchased the last OEM evaporator in existence for the GTS. Without the OEM unit I told him that we will to fabricate one once I locate a correct sized evaporator core. We made a jig off from the original unit in order to be sure the dimensions are the same should anyone want us to make them an evaporator for there car.

With great difficulty I located an appropriately sized core and blower (unusually thick and narrow) and we got busy fabricating a duplicate of the original. In the photos you will see that the original gold cad plated steel and the one that we made is from aluminum sheet. We will probably paint it satin black so it Disappears behind the center console of this car.

As I said above, if you are looking for a 330 GTC or GTS evaporator unit or any other Ferrari A/C advise please let me know.
