So who still thinks the magnums based on a Schultze?

The documents's resolution is low, only 24 KB, therefore hard to read.

Suggest Mark double the font size, and then send the pages to you.
or ...
You a take photos of the pages Mark sent you, with a high resolution camera (cell phone camera), and then post the photos on your site here.

The Magnum Missile with both Don and (look alike brother) Burt Reynolds.
together would have been a eye-catching publicity photo.

Imitation a form of flattery.
And arguably the Magnum Missile was inspired by a race boat. Built by ...?

Magnum Missile probably gave birth to some of these subsequent designs.

If Roy was using an 1100, chances are it was either an early factory run in 1965. or a production run in 1966. There is no doubt that this was an early Molinari. but not the 63/64 version as shown in previous pictures outside the Como factory.
Gene just confirmed he rigged the MagMiss in 1967 with a 1250. Not too long after the first appearance at lake x of the first molinari. ARONOW was known to be a frequent visitor to the lake around that time.
Hope you all remembered

Gene’s birthday, 89 and even older than me.Attachment 469234Had a nice quiet family afternoon with my daughter Sam and my two sisters Angela and Janet.

As far as I know the Glastron Molinari 2+2 never went into production. It was a one-off prototype that was included in Glastron's 1970 brochure and never seen again. I remember actually seeing the Starcraft and Mystrys but never the GM 2+2. I don't know where / when the Starcraft photo was taken but the V6 Merc is way too much motor for this tunnel. All of these tunnels including the Magnum were designed with the inline 6s and V4s in mind for power. I doubt that WOT with a V6 is a good idea.
