    They only had a few old Ferraris.This one was parked next to a pontoon fendered Testa Rossa. I think that one was genuine.

    The two GTO’s together(silver and red) were at Casa Ferrari at Pebble.

    The single red one was at Concorso Italiano.

    The GTO at Concorso was a replica based on a Ferrari 330....the GTOs at Pebble were in fact real...

    I should have spotted the GTO at Concorso, the windows were too tall..how come they don't measurr a real GTO before they start? What about the red Testa Rossa spyder at Concorso? Not asking about the P3/4, it seemed too tame to be a real P3/4...

    250 TR was a replica too. Based on another 250 (owner told me, but I can't recall which model) and re-created to be a TR by GTO Engineering in UK. Engine is properly carb'd, cammed, etc. As authentic as you can get, but usable in a way a real TR can never be (due to $30-50M value).

    The TR owner says he has a GTO replica, also by GTO Engineering, he keeps in FL at his other place.

    Kinda sad when we see one we have to ask these questions...I wish the replicas never existed. Takes the fun out of spotting it imo...
