58 Ferrari Ellena

[enio45]

Here is a start of my thread for the 58 Ferrari Ellena that I am restoring to Pebble Beach Quality.

It's not American Muscle, but thought the site member would enjoy the process I'm going thru to restore the car.

49 of these cars are made - 15 know to exist....considered preproduction cars before Pinafarina was hired to build production Ferrari's starting with the 59 250 PF Coupe.

This was moving the car out of the owners tractor trailer way out south of Reno - off the grid place .

It was acquired in 74 by the person i bought the car from. He took it apart completely and stored stuff in coffee cans and bins and moved 4-5 times over the years until i purchased the the car in September of 2014. With the exception of the orig motor, everything else was broken down the last nut, bolt and screw and NOT labeled! All original drive train certified in the Ferrari world. Of course - V12 :-)))

More to come.....

Me, Dennis, Shaun and my neighbor Eric getting it out of the transport. Thanks to Shaun and Dennis for getting me the forklift to the house to get the crates off the transporter!
