Am I the only one who thinks this thread has crossed the line from enthusiasm to fetishism?
Lol fetishismor fetichism [fet-i-shiz-uh m, fee-ti-] Spell Syllables Word Origin noun 1. belief in or use of fetishes. 2. Psychiatry. the compulsive use of some object, or part of the body, as a stimulus in the course of attaining sexual gratification, as a shoe, a lock of hair, or underclothes. I like your humour and if you believe that it s fetishism, it s your right, I prefer The Automotive Archaeologist. The A3C or Bizzarrini deserve to be well treated and deserve that the rumours are replace by the facts and the success of this thread prove that a lots of people think my way Image Unavailable, Please Login
If anyone is interested in a 427 Grifo, a '68, I know of one available, it will be in the low $500K's. If there's interested, serious interest, PM me for details. I'm on the East Coast. Thanks

New scam in construction in Europe Let s explain from the beggining. Oliver Kuttner have made bad moulds for the construction of replica Bizzarrini 5300, theses moulds are now with Jim Carpenter Bizzarrini Strada | Jim Carpenter's Italian Design and Racing using photos of Gregor Fisken chassis IA30222 now in USA Kuttner had build many replicas, but sold them with lost chassis number, of course, he need to have some support to help him to legitimate theses replicas, then he found Jack Hoobs de Hartog who agree to print his "stories" inside his book. Did Hartog was paid ? or Did Hartog was naive ? Anyway here the words of Hartog and Kuttner concerning Iso A3C BO227 in plastic ( Yes, they are not afraid ) Then Kuttner sold his story to Dr Zweifler better known under the nick name of WOLFY ( collector of Maserati Barchetta). Wolfy in good faith ? send the car to GPS Classic in Brescia Italy for restoration Image Unavailable, Please Login
Iso A3C BO227 ex Kuttner/ Zweifler Now the story became more interesting as GPS who are not a specialist of Bizzarrini then send the car to Diomante, the only expert for theses cars ( I known he only have 50 yeaars of experience ) Then a full report was made and send to Wolfy who after reading it get scare and sold it to somebody else. Then the new owner try to buy parts from Diomante but this one refuse, As you see on the photos, it s replica with fake chassis number stamp, and bad construction 100 % wrong. Today, the new owner try to enter the car to race in France with Patrick Peter, we hope that they have internet as he will save them o lots of time. In his book, Hartog explain to us that car was use to build a other replica ? Where is the camera as all theses people involve, do they really believe that the community is stupid ?

Kit car from Lutziger, look BA4106 and this body, it s the same shape as when car BA4106 was in Italy, they made a mould to build this kit car, of course the kit car was not supposed to steal the identity of the ex Sebring Iso A3C who is lost. Lutziger knew about it but this did not stop it to advertise it as ex Sebring racer... Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
Same people in Ponsaco Italy build this complet kit car body chassis for a dealer in Holland, who was going to race it, car was not supposed to carry BO228 lost chassis number and car was not supposed to appear in a *good* lol book as real car and a customer was not supposed to sue the author Jack Koobs de Hartog of the book for fraud ..
