- Note:
-
- Winter 1958
Due partly to the unavailability of any
more “Customer” specification cars, Luigi Chinetti purchased
three damaged TR’s from the
Ferrari Factory and commissioned rebuilds
on them. Those vehicles were -
0666, 0746 and 0748 - at roughly the same
time he commissioned the building of a
final 335 Sport, s/n 0764 utilizing a
similar Scaglietti "Pontoon
Fender" design.
-
- April 1959
Luigi Chinetti sells 0748 to Mr. Gary
Laughlin of Fort Worth,
Texas. Laughlin believes he is
purchasing a “new works
specification 1959 model Testa
Rossa”. Chinetti has
superficial modifications
- completed
to 0748 while still at the Ferrari
Factory. The actual vehicle remains
relatively undamged with just the front
left fender and suspension bent from
Bauer’s accident. Chinetti has a
“TR 59-like” perspex
(forward facing) hood mounted
air scoop, faired-in windshield and
“outside” type door hinges
fitted to 0748. During these repairs
the original engine from E.D.
Martin’s 250 TR, s/n 0730 is rebuilt
and reinstalled in 0748. (Then
engine fitted to 0748 still has the
correct internal number stamped by the
Ferrari Factory corresponding to engine
No. 0730 a fact further documented on the
Ferrari Factory Assembly Data
Sheets. Additionally this engine has
numerous "Le Mans" scrutinering
stamps on both the cylinder heads
and engine block. (The engine from
0730 remains installed in 0748 to this
day. No previous owner of 0748
has ever reported an engine change. The
engine from 0730 has been with 0748
since 1959.)
-
- June 1959
0748 was completed and delivered as a new
car to Gary Laughlin. Mr. Laughlin
campaigned the car actively
throughout the South and Southwestern
United States over the next several
months. On October 11th, he took
second place at Midland, TX, edged by
fellow Texan and friend Alan Connell
who was campaigning his new 335
Sport (chassis 0764). Laughlin continued
to campaign 0748 through 1960-61 until
the car was no longer competitive.
-
- Summer 1961
- Laughlin sold
0748 to Alan Connell so that he could
take its engine and install it in his
Maserati Birdcage
“Hybrid” racer. The engine
was far too tired and needed a rebuild;
so, he sold the car to noted local racing
enthusiast and collector, Mr. John
Mecom Jr.
-
- Spring 1962
- John Mecom
had 0748 mechanically and cosmetically
repaired and placed it on display along
side his many prized vehicles
including his 166 Barchetta and Grand
Prix Bugatti. Mecom used the car on
regular occasion for nothing more than
fun and never campaigned or raced the
car competitively.
-
- Summer 1966
- Mecom sold
0748 for an undisclosed sum to the
Melcher family in Texas who enjoyed it
over the next few years until minor
mechanical ills forced the car once again
into retirement. While awaiting necessary
repairs they agreed to sell to an
"East Coast" collector.
-
- Spring 1975
- 0748 was
purchased by Bob Fergus of Columbus, OH
for $25,000. After a mechanical
inspection, sorting and general cleaning,
Fergus drove it regularly; the car
performed well without any major incident
or mishap.
-
- 1982
- During a
thorough restoration and rebuild,
Fergus’s mechanics noted the extreme
competition nature of the engine,
i.e. larger valves, competition cams,
high compression pistons, numerous
electron castings etc...
