Ciao from sunny Naples

Neopolitano · 09-05-2011, 04:35 PM

New to FL but not to Ferraris having owned and driven quite a few over the past 35 years. Although I have an SA my focus has been vintage and classics. My first Fcar was a GTC, second a BB. Now having a second go around with my restoration of another GTC and recently acquired already restored BB. There is a Dino sandwiched in between. Was not till I got it home did I find it was missing the other 6 cylinders!

Welcome steve. great looking set up!

tazandjan · 09-05-2011, 05:16 PM

Steve- Welcome. Great to see another V12 (and V6) owner here on FLife. Quite a nice stable you have there. An already restored BB sounds like a smart move. The GTC will be much easier to restore, even if the parts are expensive.

I can see one thing on the GTC that needs restoring already. The front bumpers.

+1, indeed !!! With those cars and being located in Naples,...what more is there to ask for. As for the less 6 horses for your Dino, there is a solution,...that is ask our Mke, who is custom fabricating his own V12, to make one for you !!! Voila ! w/ smiles Jimmy

What an impressive garage and collection. Welcome to F-life.

Steve, welcome to F-Life.
I sure do appreciate your variety of F-Cars, very nice.
I would not mind seeing individual photos for each stallion in the owners section

Thank you to all for the nice welcome here.

And Terry......this GTC was restored mechanically, rebuilt engine bottom to top, new wiring harness, brakes, suspension, and so on. And I made upgrades to cooling, a/c, electrics. The topside is presentable, but not perfect in any way. This car will not be a show car but the ultimate driving GTC. Maybe I'll start a thread on it in vintage.

tazandjan · 09-06-2011, 08:04 AM

Steve- A thread in vintage would be great. My joking reference was to the bumper bars. Saw those mostly on UK Dinos and Daytonas when I lived there and was not too fond of them. My old Dino and Daytona did not have them, but I guess it depends on where you are going to park the car.

Here is a better picture. Taken before BB was added. Dino moved to NC.

Welcome Steve to FL!

Great collection and we are happy to have you join the forum

Naples is one of my favorite destinations in FL. For several years, I used to speak at the annual Bankers Association meetings right down the road.
Great location! Nice garage too.

All the best with the restoration.

Steve- If I had your garage, I would be even broker than I am. A two car garage is the only thing keeping me going.

Beautiful collection.
