A roadster and a Ferrari engine?

[bugsiegel]

I was surfing the net the other day and saw a video of a 32 ( I think) being built with an early 70's Ferrari engine already installed on the frame.
Anyone know the story behind that car?

Pretty sure you are talking about the James Ells roadster, built by Roy Brizio. It used a 71 ferrari 4.4 v-12 with 365 GT heads.

Brian Burnett had Dick "Magoo" Megugorac build "Deucari" to contend for (& win) the '79 AMBR. Burnett just happened to own a Ferrari dealership at the time. DD

How about something really unusual like a Ferrari powered by an 8BA Flathead...???
I’ve seen a ’65 Chevy with an 8BA in it as well as a Nash Metropolitan with a 59A and a Crosley Hot Shot with a V8-60 in it… So...

... a Nash Metropolitan with a 59A ...

Now why didn't I think of that when I owned a Metropolitan!
