    Although I love my 1992 512TR, my heart belongs to the P-3, P-4 cars.
    I want one bad, and realize I will never own a real one.
    Totally out of the question!
    So I was wondering if anyone knows of a coach builder here in America that makes a realistic copy (clone) Street legal version of these Tipo type cars?
    Either using a donor (Ferrari) car or something else.
    I've seen a few, but they are usually built in other countries.
    But after seeing an original one today at "Lime Rock" I need to get one built for me!

    I do, he's in WI.

    He built a 250 GTO for Frank Beard from ZZ Top, plus many other high-end cars.

    The car was offered to me a number of years ago before Frank took delivery.

    Then, it was about $200k IIRC, so I imagine you'd be talking somewhere upwards of that figure to build a P-3 or 4 with Ferrari running gear today.

    This guy can build anything you want, all it takes is money.

    Still interested?

    Unfortunately, P4Replica is no longer a member of this forum. He was banned from FerrariChat last month. The reasons given for his banning appear to be a somewhat of a ‘technicality’, so hopefully he will be allowed back on again sometime. I understand that he has now started his own bulletin board www.p4replicabb.com which is doing rather well. However, it is a private board, with membership by invitation only.

    P4Replica tells me that there is (still) a Norwood P4 for sale, in Palm Beach, FL. See this older thread. Asking price is $250K: http://ferrarichat.com/forum/showthread.php?t=16456

    If a Norwood P4 is out of your reach, you might want to consider something like this car:
    http://www.public.iastate.edu/~thiett/photos3a/p4.jpg
    The asking price is $125K. Bodywork is fibreglass, and is based on the running gear of a 330GT V-12.

    He also said that, as a TR owner, you might find this thread of interest, although the car is not very correct appearing: http://ferrarichat.com/forum/showthread.php?t=48064

    I have a Noble that I may think of selling in the next few months.
    It doesnt have an engine or trans. yet. I think I'll be painting it
    Giallo (yellow) then putting it up for sale. Maybe. Give me a call if
    it sound interesting....
    Best,

    Noble replicas can be found here:

    http://www.nfauto.co.uk/

    If you install the engine in the US, then getting one into the country is easy, but getting the title is another story.
