The 512M/S I drove in Ecuador with Greg Young of Young American Racing Team was a stunning example of the 512M.  It was Black, and as pristine looking as the Blue Penske 512M that was not successful.  We won the race, sponsored heavily by Marlboro.  This was a hybrid car because it was the M bodywork with the Roof removed like the 512S models.  The chassis number was 1014, and it was the only one I ever saw like that.  Greg Young's Mom sponsored him in the car and later in Can Am racing.


      Sept. 26, 1971   12 Hours of Ecuador

Tony co-drove Greg Young's Ferrari 512 M/S to win the 12 Hours of Ecuador.

    Six  months before winning the Ecuador race, Gregg had flipped the car five times at the 3/20/71 Sebring 12 Hours.

    After burning to the ground, the car was meticulously repaired to the point that it rivaled Penske's immaculate blue 512M driven by Donohue.  Six months after this Sebring crash, we won the 12 Hours of Ecuador in it.

    A month later, Greg wrecked the Ferrari again at Fuji, Japan.  He was lucky to escape from the high speed crash, and the car never raced again.

    It was soon restored by Kirk F. White and has been owned by other collectors over the years.
