Thanks for writing in, Jim! Hope to see you at Pebble as well! 

Wow... that’s light.

Thanks for chiming in and providing details. Your automotive fever dreams come to life for us, too. What’s next?

I also saw the Modulo at the High. I also got to attend a presentation by Chris Bangle and Paolo Martin, the designer of the Modulo. Fantastic event, I wish I could hear Bangle speak about design every day.

Nothing like a Modulo gliding down the street to make all the contemporary SUVs and crossovers look even more soulless.

Many purists are horrified that I made her run but as you probably have come to realise I really don’t give a fuck about what others think about what I do.“

Always nice to see you pop in on the website. What you’re doing with this car (and your others) is pretty incredible and seeing the restoration progress is a real treat.

if purists are angry at you doing something, it means you’re doing something right!

Awesome... Seriously though, I’m shocked Pininfarina sold it... It almost makes no sense, unless they knew this is what you’d do. Not like they don’t have the resources too, but perhaps the oversight there is such that it would be easier to make a buck and end up with the same result rather than spend it?

I always loved the Modulo, ever since I first saw it in a Road & Track special Ferrari issue way back when (probably sometime in the early 90s). Glad to see she’s running and driving. 

Mr. Glickenhaus,

thanks for making fun stuff! That SCG is breathtaking and this car deserved to be finished.

I was fascinated by the Modulo since I was in grade school and was able to get an up-close look at the High Museum in Atlanta several years ago.

Yes and the gearbox was an empty case.

So the old engine photos with the clear Lucite velocity stacks were just an empty block and heads? Yow.

Hi

Is there anybody that rolls cooler than this guy!  I’ve been looking at pictures of this since I was a little kid.  He goes beyond what the original crafters did!  Right on Jim G.!!!

Nothing like a Modulo gliding down the street to make all the contemporary SUVs and crossovers look even more soulless. If they had cars on Space: 1999 they would have looked like this.

Oh, Hi! And thanks for the info!

Hi. The cars non steering is myth. The car always steered fine and it still does. Properly adjusted the steering does not hit the wheel spats. Sourcing all of the 512S and 512 gearbox internals, when Ferrari turned over the chassis, engine and gear box to PF they kept the internals, was a massive four year
