    OMFG that car looks good. I have always liked the Stratos. Those darned Italians - they do know design like no other.

    The gray haired man in the purple shirt..... at first I thought that it might be Sandro Munari, but I don't think so. Is it Bernard Darniche?

    It's not Munari.

    He's somewhat of a legend in Michigan's UP. Here's why ....

    Here's my old Dino-engined Stratos replica (one of Gerry Hawkridge's 'Transformers' before the name-change to Hawk):

    Andy, that looks quite proper. Was the engine sourced from one of the FIAT Dino's?

    Yes, it was a 2.4 litre Dino engine from a Fiat Dino coupe - totally rebuilt & mated to a Ferrari Dino transaxle.

    The noise of that V6 engine in the upper rev range was sublime !

    Yup, Day-Glo Orange, and Boy, Oh Boy, did that ever play tricks on the camera's white balance........but one could surely see it coming in a Rally, no matter the weather !
