250 GTO on the Ferrari Stand at the Finali Mondiali event - Real or fake?

I think you need to edit your thread title......

 

Ask the camera person.If this closeup was taken with some kind of wide angle lense this would give the front end an exaggerated wide front. There may have been limited room available and to get the whole car into the picture, a wide angle lense was used. tongascrew

 

Car was in the old Nürburgring museum for a long time. Behind it was a video wall with the Lauda story on it.Owned by Hartmut Ibing.

 

the first owner crashed the car once in 1962and rolled the car twice in 1963.These obviously required body work. Then when sold to Hans Hardt in 1965 a resto was done in the UK and the "nose job" was questionable. When you look at the pictures of the car when owned by von Czazy the front end had several different looks particularly around the front cowling opening. tongascrew

 

The car will be restored by Dino Cognolato.
All the best, Paki.

 

I confirm. I also saw the car at the Basel Pantheon, and also at least 3 other times, and it's always the same odd sensation...

 

The 1962 GTO is reborn

 

Does it now have its original engine or was a new one made?

 

Looks great.

 

This new body will be part of this cars history.

I assume this 250GTO was Classiche'd, so a new body was required to return it to how it left the factory. Classiche won't certify a car that is not as it left the factory to my understanding.

 

I've found out that this 250 GTO, #3809GT, the subject of this thread, has its original GTO block in it today.

 

Nose is still not same as factory original S1
