The Forgotten Ferrari: How Chassis 3589 Found Redemption
from BREAK/FIX the Motorsports & Vehicle Enthusiast Variety Show · host The Ferrari Marketplace
In this episode of Ferrari Fridays, host William Ross from the Exotic Car Marketplace discusses various Ferrari topics and addresses the delay in releasing new episodes. He then delves into the poignant story of the abandoned Ferrari 250 GTO chassis number 3589. Built in 1962, this car, after a series of owners, was left neglected in a field due to a tragic accident that claimed the life of a young boy. Ross narrates how the father, who owned the car and blamed himself for the tragedy, abandoned it out of grief. Years later, a genuine friendship and a creative solution involving a scholarship in the boy’s name helped to lift the father's burden, culminating in the car's sale and restoration. The current owners, the Steiger family, have maintained and showcased the car ever since. The episode concludes with updates on William's new umbrella website for exotic cars and upcoming car events. ===== (Oo---x---oO) ===== 00:00 Introduction to Ferrari Fridays 00:30 Host's Apology and Updates 01:29 New Website Announcement 02:44 Today's Topic: The Abandoned 250 GTO 06:55 The Tragic Story Behind the 250 GTO 13:26 The Car's Journey and Restoration 16:13 Conclusion and Upcoming Episodes 17:25 Credits and Sponsorship Information ==================== The Motoring Podcast Network : Years of racing, wrenching and Motorsports experience brings together a top notch collection of knowledge, stories and information. #everyonehasastory #gtmbreakfix - motoringpodcast.net More Information: https://www.motoringpodcast.net/ Become a VIP at: https://www.patreon.com/gtmotorsports Online Magazine: https://www.gtmotorsports.org/ On Ferrari Friday's, William Ross from the Exotic Car Marketplace will be discussing all things Ferrari and interviewing people that live and breathe the Ferrari brand.
