What a cool story, I remember seeing that post when I first joined.

Thanks for bringing it back.

Hey Bill, nice to see you over here. I remember your posts on the 'other side'. It's an amazing car, must give some great memories that we can only dream about.

Thanks for posting again!

(in fact following that link was the first time I've ever even seen the site that nobody ever mentions here

I have never seen that car before. Thanks for the pics! Beautiful.

Killer58 · 08-30-2011, 08:20 AM

Looks like a car George Jetson would drive.

Anyone have any interior photos?

tazandjan · 08-30-2011, 10:23 AM

One of the most beautiful Ferraris ever. Zagato picked up on the double nostril look of the 1961/62 Sharknose F1 cars and translated it beautifully into a GT car's nose. Since she was built on a SWB chassis with moderately souped up Type 168 engine, she also went like stink.

The yellow 156 is actually a beautifully done replica.

Thanks for posting the pics here Onno.

+1 a very unique example..never seen this one: Color combo

Onno:
Can you post a better, close-up, of the nose: I'm having trouble truly understanding the Cavallino presentation. Looks sloping but the reflections throw me.

PS : IF it's on the other site, well, way things are going lately, might need a repost here as one never knows if the links will, err, fail at some point [not trying to really stir any pots, but, well, would like to keep the context]

wetpet · 08-30-2011, 11:02 AM

are there any real sharknose's left?

tazandjan · 08-30-2011, 11:11 AM

Ed- Do not believe there are. The Ferrari museum did not have one last time I checked.

This replica was in Forza, I think, and there is nothing wrong with a replica when there are no real ones left.

Indeed, there is something about Zagato designs that appeal a lot to me. That is one reason I ended up buying my Abarth few years back, mainly because of the design. w/ smiles Jimmy

Jimmy, I think you probably have the most interesting mix of cars on the site and always enjoy seeing your photos. Have you by chance ever been able to get them all in one place for a big group photo?

wetpet · 08-30-2011, 07:11 PM

Jimmy, i love the abarth. if you haven't yet, start a thread w/lots o pictures. My son also likes them!
