    Now, lets have a look at the deep dark side...
    Early in this thread Tom lists the following....

    GTE's Built: 954 (not including the 50 330 America's)
    GTE's known to have been "Transformed" into other cars: About 160
    GTE's currently driving with non-Ferrari engines: 15

    We have discussed the GTE's murdered for replica's.
    What about the 15 driving with non Ferrari engines?

    I dont know why (probably my West Country UK origins, it's like the deep south without the good weather) but whilst a SWB replica upsets me I am intriqued by the thought of a GTE with , I assume, an American V8

    Matt black, lowered, small block Chevy...Yee ha !

    Anybody have experience of such things ?

    That is terrific news! I have 3061 GT as having been converted to a replica SWB Berlinetta, but can now change my files. Chalk up one more for the good guys!

    Million dollar asking on an eBay car? Sad all the way around. I like GTE's better......

    Coming together and nearly back on the road, years of idlenes required most of the seals and rubbers to be replaced. All done now thanks to Alistair and his crew at Foskers (good recommendation PB). Just a little paint to go on, may just be home for Christmas.

    HI John, sadly I dont know the name of the colour.
    I have a picture supplied by Marcel of the car in the early 80's where it wears darker paint, so its not original to the car.
    The car was restored later in Modena for Umberto Camellini, I have written to him to ask if he has details.

    i have 2837GT as a GTO Replica. Was the car rebodied to original or is my information incorrect?

    I think your original information was fortunately incorrect Michael.
    I have a pretty comprehensive history on the car with pictures from most eras.
    It went from Italy to Czech Republic in 2001, was in Cz concours and at one stage the Prague technical museum, all as a GTE.

    good to hear!

    Yes i know this car it was in Czech for a long time ex Umberto collection and a friend of mine brought it to Czech Republic.

    But not sure what color it was originally born.

    What i remember when i last saw this car condition was very good and level of restoration also.

    have serious doubts regarding rebodied.that s not true.
