"You note that it is probably #0650. It is not. Even though Gordon Glyer did race #0650 on #26 this is not his car. The Kessler-Lovely-von Neumann-Glyer-Harm #0650 has a scoop
on top of the front left fender. It also has a slit at the base of the wind screen.

There are two very good possibilities and a third possible:

1) #0636 Sold to Charles Rezzaghi in San Francisco and on to John von Neumann, then sold to Howard Wheeler in June 1957 and raced by Richie Ginther.   Then it was sold to Sam Weiss, #55, in April 1958.  Weiss sold it to Ed Vincent at the end of 1958 and Vincent kept the car until at least 1961 (Weiss and Vincent were at Oxford Motors in Sacra- mento).  Ed Vincent occasionally raced the car but he used #170. I do not know where the car went next but it stayed around California and eventually went to Ralph Stefano in Alaska.

2) #0654 This car belonged to Bunny Ribbs in California. He acquired it from somewhere in the mid or south-west, and it had been rolled. I have no record of Ribbs ever racing the
car. Once Gordon Glyer was at a race with his #0650 and he broke an axle. A black man came out of the crowd and said, "I have a wrecked car like yours and you can borrow
the axle." Glyer went to his garage, removed the axle and returned to the track where he was able to race. Later Glyer's wife returned the axle to Ribbs. Bunny Ribbs is the
father of the NASCAR and Indy driver Willy T. Ribbs. Oddly enough this car also went to Ralph Stefano in Alaska.
 
 

When Ralph had the two TRs they were in very rough condition and at least one was missing its engine.

3) Far out possibility:  #0652. This was the Temple Buell 500-TR usually raced by Masten Gregory. It next went to Chester Flynn, a GM executive based in Venezuela and New York.  Flynn sold the car to William Burroughs who raced it in California. However, I think he sold it to Shelby in Texas and it went to Arkansas then Louisiana."
 

More:   "The August 20, 1961 Vacaville results list a "D. Burton, Ferrari" as finishing 13th.  This would be the mystery car and driver."

A big "Thank you" to David for this information.
 

Michael T. Lynch weighs in...

"The mystery Ferrari car is 0636 MDTR.  There's a picture of it on my website on the "More Photos" page.  The two cut-outs on the side give it away. No other TRs have that."

To see Richie Ginther in #0636 MDTR:  Go to Michael's website:   Click on the "More Photos" page and check out the #211 car -- 2nd row on the left.
 

More from Michael...

"Give David Seielstad credit for confirming #0636. He pointed it out to me when I sent him the color pic of Ginther that I posted on my site."

Congratulations to Michael & David for unraveling the Vacaville Ferrari mystery!
