Is this a Kessel built car or just a conversion using GT3 parts?

 

Watch the video.
Kessel wasn’t the only company thar built gt3 cars.

 

Was this originally a challenge car?

 

All of the gt3 cars were originally challenge cars.

 

Even the Kessel ones.

 

Some updated photos and info.

I took out the seats and freshend up the interior. Replaced a lot of missing hardware. Cleaned up the cage and repainted it to freshen it up.

I replaced the seats with brand new corbeau seats. The harness' were 6 point which are a pain to use as a street car. I replaced them with easier to use 4 point harness'. Excellent for street use, and light track use. I replaced the passenger window and slider. Replaced the rear lexan window with slotted f40 style window. k

I took out the old omp fire supression system and I'll add a hand bottle to the cage somewhere.

I have all the parts that I took out. Seats, harness', omp bottle. and it will all come with the car.

I am just trying to make it a much more friendly drivers car.

Yes, European.

 

There are different series that the GT3 cars would be in. A lot like SRO here. Which used to be pirelli world challenge here.

 

What do you think? Sexy aren't they!.. I am sure there aren't anywhere near 50 of them left...

 

Who were the other parties? Kessel had a factory license and all cars have individual built numbers. Only Kessel 430GT3 cars are eligible for Club Competizioni GT events.

 

wow looks like a kick in the pants

 

regardless of who it was built by, it’s a gt3 car through and through. I think it was a non homologated gt3 car.

I’m not sure anyone cares if it can’t run in the club gt events, but i’m sure upon inspection they would reconsider. Im not sure they would allow it in the basic challenge series the way it sits. A Gt3 car didn’t need to be built by a specific team to be considered a gt3 car. It would just need to pass inspection to be homologated. Maybe not in Europe, but there are other Gt3 sanctioning bodies. Asia, US, etc.

kessel, jmb, taurino and csr I am told also built them. Taurino in the US has tons of gt3 parts I can buy direct from them if spares are needed.

 

only 64 official Ferrari 430GT3s built, Ferrari licensed cars, FIA homologated.

 

I get you really want to prove your point Tom. It's like you are tolling me. I get it wasn't a euro raced GT3 car licensed by ferrari as a GT3 car..

Once again, I noted that.. It's a GT3 car that was properly built, but not homologated for GT3.. Like all the GT3 cars, It was still a homologated challenge car by ferrari.

288 GTO Evoluzione were never raced, never homologated...are they still a 288 GTO Evo. Are they still what they were built for?

Are you trying to prove, in your opinion, it doesn't have the same value as a homologated GT3 car?

I am not trying to get anywhere near the same money for this car as a Homologated GT3 car.. So we are on the same page..

 

There are multiple homologated GT3 cars that weren't even fully built and or built differently. Many of them don't have this front bumper, or rear diffuser..They weren't all identical. It seems more to me they were slapped together with whatever the client was willing to pay for in the build and how competitive the client wanted to be. There definitely wasn't a specific build sheet they followed when building them.

Here are multiple examples of GT3 cars with different rear bumpers and rear diffusers.

Differences are: series 1 GT3 and series 2 GT3

 

So I would imagine my car was built to series 2 spec?
