Default Ferrari P3

Also at the local show was a P3. I had both the 906 and P3 in my slot car set.

Interesting copy. They're RHD, originally. Also, cloth seats and old Veglia and Jaeger gauges. Great shape for a car, though.

Motor is supposed to look like this: http://pictures.topspeed.com/IMG/jpg...3-one-o-11.jpg

Between $15M and $20M... a touch more than 917K territory.

I thought the 330 P3 had the intake trumpets between the cams on each head. I think there was an oil tank in the valley between the heads.

They did. However, none of the original P3's exist. One was converted to a P4 and the others to carbureted 412P spec.

The factory cars had Lucas FI with trumpets and intake runners between the cams and the customer cars all had Webers. Here's a factory car cutaway. http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-7JTTo8l5D_...ip4cutaway.jpg

Oops, I was off in my valuation by a little. Marcel Massini says $35M-$40M for these cars now...

Actually, a coolant header tank, since the rads and cooling system circuits were prone to air locks. See: http://www.conceptcarz.com/images/Fe...09_MBC_e04.jpg

Here they are, the 330 P3/4's crossing the start finish line winning the 24 Hours of Daytona in 1967.

This and LeMans were the catalysts for Porsche to begin building cars that would not only be class winners, but also contenders for overall wins. The DIA banned cars over 3-liters after 1967 and the 907 LH's that went 1-2-3 in the 1968 24 Hours of Daytona were 2.2 liter, flat-8 cylinder cars!

Cool stuff!
