brad Posted January 30, 2022 Report Posted January 30, 2022 That one. NOT all. ONLY that one was. All others made by the Granatellis were red. So people that have only seen that one have copied it over the years.
Dwight FitzSimons Posted January 30, 2022 Report Posted January 30, 2022 I always wondered why R4's weren't red, like R3's. After all, they are both of the same ilk. Good to know that they were. There was an R4 (in a '63 Avanti) near here in the '60's. The owners didn't understand the octane requirements of that 12:1 C.R. --Dwight
