    Can anyone tell me about these cars? Fraterniti di Maserati is on the badge with Alfa engines.
    That's about all I know. Any experts out there??

    Be very careful when buying cars with high values and very limited documentation.

    Precisely why I'm asking people who know. The radiator with electric fans look new, the dash does not match any picture I have found from the era, the two seats are questionable. I was looking for more information. My friend "375+" already says no.

    The advertised barchetta is obviously a Tribute / Replica.

    The price tells you that.

    A genuine OSCA race car would be priced at least at $500,000 plus to $1M plus.

    An OSCA 1600GT road / race car is probably worth $350,000 - $500,000

    The advertised car is a tribute car built up from what appears to be a OSCA Fiat engine.

    It would probably cost a $100,000 to build in any case.

    Beautiful barchetta nonetheless. I've researched an Alfa one off barchetta - another doesn't really belong in any archives car, but so beautiful. I understand you admiring this tribute car.

    For people who can read, the car is a OSCA by Balestra, then it s not a replica, but a Balestra OSCA Barchetta like you will find other Barchetta Balestra model with 1100 cc or 500 cc engine

    Description = Description:
    OSCA Fiat Maserati Barchetta Alloy Body by Balestra in Italy
    See Balestra Barchetta on google
    Balestra was very well known to rebody Barchetta for racing in hillclimb in Italy.

    Then, for people who can read, it s Barchetta Balestra powered by a OSCA engine
