This in my opinion is the best video you've had on.
What's really cool, is that it's a "driver" now.
Over time, it will start to show some "wear" (okay, "patina")
And these guys will know that it happened driving it like it is supposed to be driven. And every blemish will be a story/memory.
(Much like the skull-shaped dent in the passenger door of my old Mopar, it has a story too. LOL )
Great story! Goes to show you can accomplish anything with enough determination and effort.
Awesome story.
Best episode ever; love every part of this
What an awesome story. Glad I went back and watched this one!
this story was absolutely beautiful, thank you for sharing!!
This guy may be the least pretentious Ferrari owner and im all about it.
The fact that the guys with the 10m Ferrari's would get butt hurt by loosing to a 400,000-500,000 car is so sad. It should be the best car wins i dont care what it costs otherwise whats the point of the competition. And love the fact that you showed it once then drove off into the sunset and use the car is the best end to the story ever well done
What a wonderful story. Thanks for sharing.
Its a Dino not a Ferrari
Very cool that you did that with your brother and your Dad!!!
I also love Dinos so Rob is now my favourite VINwiki guest
What a fantastic story about passion, patience and dedication for a car that to me is the most beautifully designed automotive piece of art ever.
(I also loved the quick shot of the lab in the headlight surround!).
Congratulations to all concerned on an amazing achievement.
I could never sell a car like that. In fact I regret selling most of the cars I have let go such as my 1969 charger RT and 1974 K5 blazer
The two brothers don't look very much alike, do they?
This is how it should be. Making storia yourself.
I've had the odd glimpse into the Ferrari collecting world. The fetishistic attention the cars receive from their owners is absurd. Seemingly perfect parts are replaced because of concerns over when running changes were made, or whether an option was documented. New buyers re-restore cars that haven't burned a tank of fuel since they were last disassembled completely by experts. For a couple of enthusiasts to self-teach auto restoration and field a car that put the other Ferraris on their trailers at Ferrari concours competitions is utterly remarkable.
Nothing but respect for this type of owner.
The mob picks da winners

This was a great story.
I wish all car enthusiasts were like this. Rather than spend millions on a vehicle then store it in some barn for it to rot away……
What a great story , I hope they put 100k on that Dino.
Epic story!! Now just drive it. Love it!
Congrats on the successful restoration! Cool story, and great that you and your brother and dad enjoy the car together.
This is the best VINwiki episode. This is also the first Canadian I’ve ever genuinely liked.
One of my top cars. The color is Mint and sets it apart
10:45 Now I know who you talk like. Richard Feynman!
I drooled all over this car in the late 90's. It was in the showroom of a luxury dealership on The Queensway for a few years. 23 year old Me wanted it Sooooooo Bad.
That was the best story yet, minus back yard 400
I LOVE THIS RIDE!! Someone in highland Park Illinois has one of these! Same exact color!!


I'm sure he restored a nice dino but this guy is clearly exaggerating a lot of this story
Great story and car!!!
Great story and car!!!
I like him. Great story
This HAS to be one of the BEST stories EVER TOLD on VINWIKI!! THANK YOU!
If Obama was a white Canadian, this is how he would sound. Go back, close your eyes, and listen again… you will thank me.
Fair f'in play is all i have to say. Everything about this project is perfect. Including the old salesman, the agreements with your brother and the fact the you drive it is the icing on the cake. Cars are for driving, not just looking at
Awesome story! Almost brings tears to my eyes!
