    Not shop built....shop tuned and shop fixed for small issues, but built by him.

     

    That's Even worse.

     

    If I spent 100k on something I built, it would end up one click south of this-

    That is the car, plate even says dug up. Been registered for awhile

     

    I think your confused-This quote is from 1978

     

    Afterward the young mechanic moved the Dino and himself out of the garage on Burbank Boulevard without leaving a forwarding address, Then he or parties unknown perfectly completed the Dino's impossible restoration. Duly registered and newly licensed [with vanity tags reading "DUGUP"] by California's Department of Motor Vehicles, the buried Dino next was returned to what I hope is high speed play out on L.A.'s kinking boulevards and across our endless and flat out four and five laners.P

     

     

    From Today-

     

    More than 30 years after it was found, the dirty Dino remains unlisted on any Dino registry. That's not to say it's not somewhere out there. Indeed, it just may be.

     

     

    The picture you provided is of "a" Green 246, not necessarily "the" 246GTS which seems to be MIA in 2013.

     

    If you Google Image search "DUG UP Ferarri", you get 2 pictures of a green 246 GTS (along with 5938652 other pics), neither of which shoe the plate "DUG UP. In fact, you also get a picture of this.

    Negative.

     

    The car is still not listed on any registries. No one knows where it is.

    I get that, but the guy is busy trying to man-handle the 9 second car away from the walls.. last thing he's probably fixated on is the chute in that split second he had before it rolled.

     

    The same reaction to counter the turn towards the wall is the same time a season'd driver would reach up for the chute. Shit happens-but a quick grab of the airbrake has saved many, many cars.

     

    That's why you have to be less of a hero, and on the chute much sooner. There was a guy in a Toyota that almost put it in the wall, but garbed the chute early.

     

    He may of lost the pass, but it saved the car.

     

    That about covers it.
