well...er...i did mean real ones but they are flipping nice... !!!!

the f50 especially

 

I hope to God not. Color I may understand because that's just preference but if someone had a Ferrari made out of gold I'd be very dissapointed.

 

There are some, but they are rare. I think they were mostly built in the late 70's. The newest I have seen was an 86 or 87 328.

You mean something like this? Very nice 250 GT in the Netherlands, but the colour makes it look a little weird i think.

More pictures if you search.

 

When I saw the topic, I thought to myself gold as in the color of paint? Or an fcar with actual gold body panels? A fcar with body panels made out of gold wouldn't last too long being parked out in the street.

 

There was a gold 250 TdF for sale in England some time ago (Gregor Fisken?).

A fellow F-Chatter took the pics for their website and also posted a few of them here....somewhere. Perhaps if you browse through the Vintage section.

Car was beautiful, of course, but the colour did not do it justice, IMO.

I had a book on the Testarossa from the late '80s that had a photo from the factory showing finished bodies, already painted, waiting to be united with the chassis. One of them was gold metallic. I wonder where that car ended up.

 

Here is a gold 308 on Ebay.

Why in heck would anyone buy a sports car and then weigh it down with overweight body panels?

Better questions would be: Any ferraris been retrofitted with CF bodywork?
Anyone mass producing aftermarket CF panels for older Ferraris?

There's got to be somebody that retrofit an early fiberglass body to a later 308.

 

The difficulty with this is with handmade cars each panel has variances that don't lend themselves well to the modern reproduction processes for CF. You could make a panel that is a perfect copy of a 308 fender, hood, door, etc. that ends up not fitting any other 308 made. Since CF is not pliable like metals that can be hammered to fit (although you can sand and bondo), it turns out to be a tricky sell for a large scale project.

One of the goals I had before with the now defunct Ryalex Design was to start making these to create a line of lightweight, custom 308's that could take on an Elise and made in moderate production runs like Foose Camaros or the 'Eleanor' Mustangs made in TX (I met the guys, can't recall the shop). Perhaps if I come across some money later on I'll get into the 308 Hot Rod business. I dream about it every time I see one of those modding shows on TV. I would have to deal with the chassis and panel variances, but building it with larger batches of cars in a shop at once, and assembling the cars in-house it could be more feasible than selling panels a la carte.

 

Zertec in singapore is making Cf panels, see his Mondial Z thread, i'm putting loads of cf on my Mondy for trackdays, Fast Road etc..., but only internally, dash, seats, door cards etc..., then I will be going to fibreglass doors, wings, bonnet etc...

 

Its certainly different, not my cup of tea but still nice

 

When you want to do the shell send your car out here and it will loose weight dramatically! (and look like this)
