For many years, collectors car in Texas had heard rumors of a secret stash of near-showroom condition Italian sports car, hidden and nearly forgotten. The rumors were true, but the mystery remains intact.
The three cars — a 1974 Ferrari Dino 246 GTS 2,910 miles, 1972 Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Daytona with 9,752 miles and a Coupe Maserati Bora 1977 with only 978 miles — will be sold at the Mecum Monterey, Calif., auction next month after spending more than 30 years in a storage shed near the Dallas gathering dust.
The owner, in accordance with the Mecum was a friend of Luigi Chinetti, Italian racer who opened the first Ferrari dealership in the United States after the second world war, and was for many years the only source of Ferrari vehicles here. The three cars all clipping Sport New Hampshire license plates registered in 1989, not far from the original delegation of Chinetti in Connecticut.
Because someone will park such vehicles under a blanket of dust to where remains unknown, all we can say is that came to light in March, popped up on eBay for a while and have been slowly caught the attention of collectors from. Mecum says Dino ' 74 may be the best example of this original model in existence. all three have little, if any internal division and small repair work should be restored to running condition. As journalist Murray Hereford Sicilian said: "nothing decomposition as progress, and nothing retains as negligence."
