196. - Ron
Kellog, Whittier, CA, USA |
|
|
196. - at that point it was painted Gold and
was fitted with a new Kamm-style tail, but through the
years it had retained the original Ferrari 375 MM front
frame section, suspension, steering system,
differential, wheels and brakes. |
|
| 1968 - Charles Betz & Fred Peters,
Orange, CA, USA |
|
| 1968 - Betz and Peters
purchased the rolling chassis and spare wheels from Ron
Kellogg and began to locate and purchase the missing
components. Some parts were purchased from the inventory
of Luigi Chinetti. |
|
| 198. - Betz
and Peters sourced many parts exclusive to the 375 MM,
including an original “electron” magnesium case
transmission from
0364AM (Tipo 102/comp, #3/D), from
Newport Beach collector Ernie Beutler, who had owned
several Lampredi-engined race cars. |
|
| 198. - for
years Betz and Peters had visited Bob Sorrell and tried to
purchase from him the rear frame section removed from the
car when Parravano decided to modify it. The frame section
rested tantalizingly against the wall in his shop, along
with the engine cover and metal tonneau cover. He refused
to sell any part for many years |
|
| 1986 - Bob
Sorrell finally sold his inventory of Parravano cars and
parts to David Cottingham, UK. Before shipment to England
he graciously allowed Betz and Peters to help him sort and
prepare the cars and parts for shipment to England and
retrieve all the pieces originally part of 0362AM. To the
delight of Betz and Peters the inventory included a
prodigious quantity of parts from 0362AM, far beyond what
Betz and Peters had seen against Bob’s wall. Among his
inventory were the identification plate (carried in his
wallet for many years!), the missing frame section
originally removed in shortening the wheelbase; the
firewall, floor pans, transmission cover, belly pans,
passenger seat, hood, door, metal tonneau cover, radiator
cap access door, headlight buckets, windshield frame; gas
tank, radiator and oil cooler, gearshift knob, driveshaft,
dash panel and numerous other pieces. All the body parts
were identifiable by the unique color of the Maroon paint
on the body panels and the grey paint on the interior
pieces applied to them by Scuderia Parravano. |
|
|
1986 - restoration of 0362AM then began in earnest.
Steve Beckman of Beckman’s Metalworks in Costa Mesa, CA,
USA, had done all of Betz and Peters’ metal work for more
than 20 years; he reunited the front cross member and the
rear frame section, returning the frame to original
specification and attaching the original belly pans, floor
pans and firewall. Using the ex-William Holden, Horace
Jeffrey, and now Fred Simeone car (0412AM) as a model,
Beckman also made a complete body buck and reproduced the
missing body parts to fit the original pieces and complete
the body |
|
| 1986 - at
this time the Parravano family kindly provided original
photos from 1954 and 1955 to Betz and Peters. From those
images it was determined that the original body on 0362AM
was slightly different from later examples, including
0412AM, necessitating some final revisions. Betz and
Peters were also given access to the virtually identical
0384AM car to make the additional templates necessary to
correctly complete the bodywork. The thin coat of Maroon
paint applied by Scuderia Parravano after the Sebring fire
was carefully sanded away from the original passenger
tonneau cover, revealing the Rosso Corsa paint applied by
Pinin Farina. Samples from the original paint on the
firewall, belly pans and interior were also carefully
matched. |
