246 GT s/n 00874. Euro “L” model.
1970, 18 June, to Auto Becker, importer, Dusseldorf, Germany.
1979-80, with Mr. Kellogg, US Forces, Holland. Red.
19??-93, with Mr. Greenshields, Colorado Springs, CO. Said to have
owned many years.
1993-2002, with current owner, Westminster, CO. Yellow/black vinyl.
2000, 1 Dec., as per e-mail from the current owner re: his Dino,
“I still own 00874, and yes it will be the most killer (i.e. expensive) 246GT in the world.
Seriously, the car has undergone a very serious restoration. Every part was either NOS or rebuilt.
It’s the right colors, a great fly yellow with black vinyl and grey carpets. An enormous amount of
time has been spent on authenticity on this car. Car is 85% from being complete. All parts are there,
restored and ready to bolt on. Motor is done (other than final detailing), and was running on stand
last I was there. Suspension is all restored (off the car as you can see in the pictures), and ready
to go back on. Underside is completely detailed and ready to go, including engine area. Interior is
complete other than bolting the dash back in place after the windshield gets placed (brand new, perfect).
All new tires, wheels are complete. Basically, the remaining items:
1) put motor back
in.
2) put suspension back together
3) put in windshield
4) finalize interior
5) final paint
spray (bodywork complete on minor final dings, just needs to be sprayed).
6) connect everything and go.
7) the one thing that’s not perfect is the steering wheel. (I had it recovered 5 years ago and
I’m not happy with the job, so a new one needs to be located or this one recovered.
EVERYTHING else is there, complete, restored and ready to go. An inordinate amount of time, effort and $s have gone into
this car. Virtually all panels from waist down have been replaced or rebuilt (All lead). Every part I
located was NOS or platinum-level restored, but virtually every part was as perfect as can be found.
The restoration level was instructed to be on the platinum level.”
2002, June-July, as per various conversations with the owner, I’ll
never get around to finishing the car. Time to sell the car.
2002, 10 Aug., offered for sale in the Ferrari Market Letter by Michael Sheehan’s
