This was the car at Gullwing for 135k. I had the car flat bedded up to Motor Classic where I drove the car and it needed a lot of work. At least 100k restoration kind of work. Depending on how far down the rabbit whole I was willing to go that is. It smoked down the whole street the steering box had a lot of play in it. The car has never had a real paint job. Three different colors of paint on top of one another. It does say they did the cylinder heads over so that is good but there was rust and leaks everywhere under the car. Once we put it on the lift it was a Hell no. The car did sell about 2 weeks later, then I saw it for sale again. I think it was the Netherlands? I am sure they worked on it and fixed most of the issues I saw it had. Either way should be fun to see what someone will pay for it at auction. Given what the market has shown 135K could have been a good deal 6 months ago. BR
I know all three cars are registered but just thought I would share the love. #5053 Red/Tom Yang, #2567 Fly Yellow/Scott Klion and #3547 Burgundy/Myself on Allan Wilzig's private track last weekend it was awesome. 1961 250GTE two side mirrors ,1962 250GTE no side mirrors ,1963 330 America one side mirror. enjoy Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
Why Dave of course you do my friend you owned her in the 80s!! Thanks a lot for sending the original belly pan you had locked away for 25 years..haha
I inquired about this car before I bought #4533 in 2010 and I spoke to the elderly gentleman who had owned it for almost 30 years...when i asked if he could email me some information and photos of the car he said "I dont know about those computer mail things but send me your address and I will send you photos via the US Postal Service. Please mail them back though!" I said ok, and he sent them to me via snail mail...when i got the photos they were old kodak prints, i looked on the back and they had the date "1991" on them! LOL! I promptly mailed them back to him and notified him I was going to pass on the car (mostly bc #4533 became available to me)...
wbaeumer - hate to do this to you, but please take a look at post 49.... I finally got to compare my list to Boudewijn's and learned of the demise of a few GTEs. I also have the following comments: 2301 GT is a Cal Spyder, not a GTE 2367 GTs engine was used for an LM replica. 2367 GT is still alive and well as a GTE, using engine 1601, though it did have engine 1663 for a while, until that was sold to the owner of Cal Spyder 1663 GT. 3539 GT is an SWB, not a rebody 3661 GTs engine went into a TR. It is now using GTE engine 3421 and has GTO style vents. 4935 GT is a Lusso Tom Wilson GTE Register & Newsletter Owner GTE 4247 GT
Boudewijn, IP20 should be 1P-2D (TX/USA: antique vehicle) 1000SF61 is 3545, not 3585 ASA235 should be AZA235 LSR250 is 4163, not 4263. I assume 4669 is not a SWB rebody, but a complete fake using this number although the real car may still exist. A fake spider was listed on ebay as "4017" but I doubt if that corresponds to a GTE serial number. Same goes for 2527GT, 196 replicas are usually scratch built around a Fiat-engine, instead of a Ferrari 250 frame. Best wishes, Kare
The car just sold at London RM for 140pounds = $224k. Wow looks like that 135k was a deal considering that after a 100k restoration the new owner will have spent way over 300k. Good times for us I guess. BR
Outstanding! I lost track of that one a long time ago. Do you have any photos or contact info so that I can update the GTE Register?
No I don't have contact details of the owner Its for sale at a broker. http://www.fa-automobile.com/detail-vente.php?car-for-sale=Ferrari-250-GTE&id=6&v=3436
Welcome to the club! The car looks terrific. PM me and I can help you with some of the history of the car and maybe you can fill in some of the holes.
4695GT is now also based in the Atlanta area. But according to the builder's plate, it is a "250 GT/E"! Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
