    okay guys. Sorry I've never been lucky enough to see one of these cars in person to really tell the difference. And Jedi it's actually a downtown area across from the beach with a number of restaurants besides Ralph's pizza. I guess I forgot GTO owners are just superior humans in every way.

    EDIT: Jedi your emoticon faces didn't show up when I viewed this on my phone. Sorry.

    Wow, it isn't just fake, it is a terrible replica as well. A real shame a nice Datsun or something like that has been killed to make this....thing...
    You know what, let's kill it, kill it with fire!!

    The only thing remotely Italian in this pic ("Ralph's Pizza" included) is the badge on the Fiat 500 parked next to it, though I think that was made in China and/or assembled in Mexico!

    It's OK ETL.... just fun ribbing. Many of us have our own history of seeing
    a 250 GTO "in the wild" and suffered the hazard of posting such, when the
    odds were ZERO it was 'real'.

    No disrespect meant, by ANY of us.... [speaking for the group :p]...

    just ribbing you is all.

    Ralph's probably DOES have fabulous pizza - I don't eat pizza anymore, but I bet it's really good!

    :)

    No worries at all. Just got a little frustrated by the curtness of some of the responses.

    Bayville is situated between Centre Island (the highest per capita zip code in the US) and the "Great Gatsby" Long lsland Gold Cost. There is sure enough money in that area for car buff to own several original GTOs, think Ralph Loren, Billy Joel and Charles Wang as neighbors.

    It's easy to tell its a replica but how did you figure out it was a 240z?
