    Thank you to the castlemaine rod shop forgiving the privilege of letting Cleetus McFarland drive warbird and letting some of us that aren't capable of going to Australia see the car in action. You guys built an absolutely amazing vehicle can't wait to see you bring the car back to the United States and skid it yourself

    Never in their lives, did the Ferrari engineers ever imagine a gm powerglide be bolted to their engine…. That is “Hot Rodding” that’s the muscle car way…..

      Err...,. Blokes, back in the 50's thru '70's Ferrari bought all their Automatic Transmission's for the GT's and four seaters, from General Motors! 😀
      Those Ferrari engineers probably tried the Powerglides, but went upmarket instead.
