I'm glad it's out there and not here! Not too many of those around.

On the price sheet for 1966 in the reference section it say "Revley 300 cu.in. 202 HP with fresh water cooling". What is Revley, and why did they do the closed loop?

I agree that the guy is clueless. What makes you say the trailer isnt original? It looks like a period correct #3-DV to me.

   Check out the trailer, the torino is sitting on one of the chines towards the front, and the original 3DV sits higher do to a spacer between spring bracket and rail that boat sits on. Jeff

Jeff, look closer and you can see the spacers. The fenders are too low relative to the frame for it not to be a DV.

My former 3-DV did not have parallel bunks towards the rear like the #4's did- they kept diverging all the way back, so it would have been possible for them to come in contact with a chine. I cant tell if you just got creative with your bunks, or if your frame is a slightly different shape... which might imply that you actually have a #4?

Hay Benj! something dont look wright with the torino trailer, your no3 trailer looks different then the torino trailer. looks like PO changed axle, and smaller fenders. he also states its a no 1 on craigslist. I could be wrong tho.

I have never heard of a CC #1 trailer- if one existed at one point then it wasnt available from the mid 60's on as far as I know. The Torino trailer looks the same as my #3DV to me... the steep angle of the angled supports, blocks under the frame, etc. Nothing about the axle strikes me as odd- it looks to be consistent with my other trailers of similar vintage.   The wheel/tire looks a bit larger than what would have been original back then, not sure about the fender- though CC used a few different styles during the early 70's.

Seems high for a waterlogged tubing machine.

Thats a very nice looking boat there.. I hate black hull though, shows the dirt and scuff marks to easy. Hard to keep up.

I thought this was cool. Wife said too many things floating around. Damn.
What's that Santa guys number?

I agree, that would be fun to have. I can't see anyone paying $850 for it, might be for sale for a while.

That's 700 hours and 24 years worth of coaching family and friends not to wear shoes inside, no food and extremely slow approaches to the dock. This condition 2001 model seems to be rare these days.
