Career

Dante Emiliozzi ran with this car 23 races between August 1966 and September 1969. It was not a successful car, as had been "La Galera", which allowed them to win four consecutive championships of the Road Tourism Category.

With this Baufer he was able to complete only 6 races, obtaining 3-second places, one fourth, one-tenth, and one-twentieth. The remaining 17 races were dropouts, including the 1966 and 1967 Grand Prix.

Torcuato Emiliozzi was his brother's companion until December 1967, leaving his place to Octavio Sabattini.

The Ford F-100 Baufer is exhibited as it ended his last race, on September 14, 1969, in the town of Hughes (Santa Fe), which was second to Jose Faraoni. The original engine was in the power of the Emiliozzi. No repairs or improvements were made to this machine.

After running this car, Dante participated in two races with a Halcón-Pronello F-100, then abandoned the motorsport.

FORD F-100 BAUFER - HERMANOS EMILIOZZI

Car built according to a project by Jorge Ferreyra Basso. It has a frontal aspect related to the Ford Falcon, perhaps not to break the strong identification of the Emiliozzi with the brand.

The rear of the car, despite the truncated cut of the tail, was similar to the "cupecitas" that in the mid-60s were giving way to new lines.

The first race of the Emiliozzi with the Ford Baufer was in 1966 and in the following season he made some modifications under the protection of a new regulation, he kept the same front but the body was embellished with a tendency to what would be a "Fastback" coupe that It finished off with a tail of profile Kamm, that is to say with a very smooth slope and ending with a light "tail of duck".

DANTE AND TORCUATO EMILIOZZI

On May 20, 1912, Torcuato Enrique Pascual Emiliozzi was born and on January 10, 1916, Dante José María Emiliozzi was born. The two were born in the Buenos Aires neighborhood of Floresta but the page that you know in the history of Argentine motoring, they wrote from Olavarría.

For that page that they wrote, with gold letters, you know them by Dante and Torcuato, or the Emiliozzi brothers, or simply "the Emiliozzi" or maybe simply and affectionately as "the Olavarría gringos".

Is that they lived from children in that city downtown Buenos Aires, Torcuato was 8 years and Dante just 4 when they were with their parents and his little sister Victoria while living in Olavarría would come the youngest: Elvira.

They grew up among the engines in his father's workshop on the street; Necochea at 800 and thus developed their mechanical talent and passion for motorsport. In the middle of the decade of the 30 first Torcuato and then Dante began in races of Ford T and Ford A and winning many of them. The shortage of tires and fuels came as a result of the Second World War and with it the suspension of the races. Having overcome this conflict, in 1948 a pilot in the area commissioned them to run on TC and after some regular performances came to a failure in the Vuelta de Entre Ríos. Then there were people who commented that the Emiliozzi only served to prepare Ford T.

Dante and Torcuato felt "touched" and decided to put together a car of their own to show themselves and the others what they knew and what they could.

Then the Ford engine came from the factory with side valves. Dante and Torcuato, seconded by Don Torcuato Sr., insisted on adapting valves "in testa". They made themselves and in several parts a cover to make the modification. In 1950 they began to practice in the race and after the failures of such a pretentious company, better results began to be glimpsed. However, the first triumph would come only in 1953 when they won in Chacabuco. 

From that day the "gringos" would become prime rivals in rivals of care and then in the rivals to win.

His car was becoming the legendary "Galera" that incredibly defied all the laws of aerodynamics demolishing speed records until exceeding in 1963 the barrier of 200 to win the Vuelta de Necochea a general average of 203,526 kph, that is, had traveled 740 kilometers in 3 hours and 37 minutes. They were TC champions in 1-962, 63, 64 and 65. In those four consecutive tournaments they maintained a winning rate of 45 percent, and in one of those seasons, the 63rd, they ran 16 races and they won 10. It was the apogee of the "Galley".

In 1966 a transformation began in the category with the appearance of more modern and more powerful cars, such as the Falcon with F-100 engine and Tornado engines that were the first with valves to the head as those applied by the Emiliozzi fifteen years before.

In the legendary and humble workshop on Necochea Street, in Olavarría, it was thought that work should be done at a more modern pace and the Baufer with F-100 entrails appeared. The attempt was not as successful as expected. The partials of the Ford engine of Olavarría were good since it reached sections of 260 kilometers per hour, but no race was won.

In 1968 Torcuato left his companion seat that Octavio Sabattini occupied then. Participations were no longer so frequent and in 1969, when the prototypes appeared, Heriberto Pronello built the Falcon that the Emiliozzi equipped with their F-100. Only two races with this car. Dante claimed that it reached 295 kilometers per hour.
In November of 1969 running in Chivilcoy, the lid of the tank of fuel badly jammed loosened and in a small misunderstanding, he leaped spilling the naphtha and catching fire. Dante and Sabattini were able to escape quickly from that fire trap, avoiding the tragedy.

That page of the history of Argentine motor racing ended there, which I told you at the beginning. Dante Emiliozzi had run 183 times and with his magical "Galera" he won 43 races and four TC championships.

Dante and Torcuato Emiliozzi achieved that when they put themselves at the top speed of the legendary handicrafts of TC workshops, they will undoubtedly occupy the main space. Twenty days ago, on January 24, it was ten years since the death of Dante Emiliozzi. Torcuato lives in Olavarría, very close to the Necochea street workshop at 800, where almost half a century ago they set out to demonstrate, for themselves and for others, that they knew and could prepare something more than a Ford T.
