1966 Ferrari 330 P3 Owner's Worst Decision

[Dantera22B]

Safetly stored at home?? 330 Can Am Body so far as I know not 412P body.
0844 is now a 412P. There are no P 3's existant.

Best

I suppose if anyone would know that it would be you jim. hows the P4/5 these days, we haven't heard much about her recently?

So the curent 412P body of 0844 is a recreation? Because I believe I do remember it having a CanAm-looking spyder body (I guess that's what you call 330 Can Am?). Then the lifeline of the car would look like this: 330 P3 -> 412P -> 330 Can Am -> 412P. Am I right?

Yes. So far as I know the Can Am body is an original body cut down.

This is pretty close:

from this article it is not clear to me whether a P3 body differs from a 412P body..the difference seem only to be technical. Another interesting line is that the P3 engine block differs from the P4. To what extent?

This is the #844 engine, when running at Goodwood 3 weeks ago..

I think I found it.

Here's some light reading on this subject the answer's to your questions lie within:

thanks, but to call it "light reading" is a tat optimistic, as most of the pages are landscape, rather than portrait
I'll make a printed version, and then try to start looking for the answers.

Yes note Carb hump really should be called 412P Can Am as at that time that's what it was.

ooh... ouch man...

It's not as bad as some of the stuff I've seen you guys do in Forza 2

But it's good to hear that not only was the driver unhurt, the original panels were unhurt. It's not that badly damaged, because I've heard of cars in a worser condition repaired.

If you can afford a car like that, then you can afford the repairs...

It’s not paying for the repairs that is an issue, it’s the degradation of the car as a historical object. The required repairs mean that this car is now that much farther removed from its original condition. Every part of that car was hammered, cast or forged by a master craftsman and then put together by a master mechanic. When there is an accident like this that work is gone forever.

While my father drives his old cars, A LOT, he is always very careful because he doesn't believe that a bumper that has lasted forty plus years should be destroyed by a moment of carelessness on his part.

This is the fate of any race car. Any time it gets involved in an accident and gets repaired during its active racing life it looses part of originality....just thinking of a certain P3 built just after this one

The one that burnt to the ground during Le Mans and was rebuilt by that rock star?

The owner doesn't let it gather dust, good on him.
