As many of you know I recently moved from San Diego to Spicewood, Texas and built a new shop where I continue with my passion restoring Dinos. I always have an ear out for Dinos that fit my need. About a year ago a guy stopped by with a corvette asking if I restore these. I had a Dino parked out front. I wasn’t sure if he knew the difference. He told me he heard about a Ferrari that was in a warehouse in Llano, Texas. I’m out in the boonies but Llano which is 45 minutes west of me is really in the boonies. It only has 2 main roads. Last week I was passing through Llano I decided to find the mystery car. It didn’t take long in a small town to find it. Under cover was a 1973 Dino Spyder with original campagnolo wheels and daytona seats that had been sitting since 1997 when they moved from Laguna Beach to Llano, Texas. The car was originally sold from Hollywood Sports Cars to and interesting guy working somewhat with the Movie Studios and other ventures. He sold it in 1985 to the current owner. I hit it off with the widowed owner (76) and we struck a deal and today I picked it up and brought the 45 minutes to my shop in Spicewood for another restoration. Originally Rosso Chiaro with Tobacco interior. All is original except a crappy paint job done in the early 80’s with a red nowhere near the original. Now I get to decide on the new specs for this car and some lucky person will get it when I’m done.
