Monza 3.6 Evo Dino
Monza 3.6 Evo Dino
David Lee’s passion for car collecting all started with his pure love for the automobile. His stunning collection of cars has become famous both online and within the automotive world. More importantly, his collection of new and classic Ferraris is one that would make any automotive enthusiast green with envy. What started as a love for the Italian automaker has grown into a pursuit of owning the most significant Ferrari collection.
What inspired you to seek out this Dino and tell us about the process?
The Dino was a departure from what I was doing. I was into buying top quality cars, either Concours or driver type classic cars, Blue chip, Supercars and so forth. I would then restore them to even better quality, keeping them all original and Classiche Certified. The Dino came during an interesting time. I made a call to Magnus Walker about doing a video of a Porsche collector and Ferrari collector racing up a mountain. He said, “That’d be great.” I then asked him what kind of car he would use. “I would use my outlaw 911” He then asked if I had anything from the 70’s to match his car. So I said I’d get back to him.
I discussed it with my pal Andy Cohen from Beverly Hills Motoring who helped me build my collection and had a vintage Ferrari background, as well as a passion for upgrading cars, and we decided it was time for a modern restoration and interpretation of the Dino, which many people believe to be one of the most beautiful Italian cars ever built, which no one had ever done in the way we wanted as far as we knew.
So we did some research and found a shop in the UK that did build a 355 powered Dino 11 years ago and decided to find the shop and talk to him about taking what he did and building an even more modern version that would ride and handle like a modern Ferrari and would have much more power, as the original Dino had a pretty low horsepower V6 engine, the first Ferrari with a V6.
He used 360 wheels and other components we did not love, but the basic idea was great but needed a lot more. It looked kind of off, but he had built it over 10 years ago. He did not want to sell his, but he did offer to build a new one. He also said that since his Dino was built over eleven years ago and he’s learned a lot since then and can make it a lot better. Going in, we didn’t know how long it was going to take or cost, but that’s because it was a whole new process to discover. It was the beginning of an adventure to see what we could accomplish.
We upgraded almost everything mechanically from his first build, and it ended up being a 3000 hour ground up restoration that transformed it into a fast modern driving car that still has its vintage look.
It is called Monza 3.6 Evo and it’s a modern interpretation of an iconic sports car.
The Dino is a great car on the street, so do you consider this a driver or is it for show?
What’s so great about the engineers that worked on this car is that they were able to turn it into a great driver’s car. We took an F40 block, bored it out, put in an aluminum crankshaft, fuel injection, all that. The output of the V8 is now rated at 400 horsepower. That car is 2,400 lbs, so the power-to-weight ratio is incredible. We put in modern brakes, a new drive trans, gearbox, clutch, steering, suspension, exhaust… Many of the mechanical parts have been upgraded with modern Ferrari components. So, it looks like a classic Ferrari, but all of the new mechanical components make it incredibly drivable. It’s not just about adding in one new piece, because everything has to work together and this car runs like a symphony.
