Crappy Replicas thread

'89 560SL with 32K mi when I bought it, all original, never driven in rain (the underside almost made my mechanic cry for joy), soft top has been up 4 times (plus pulling it out partially to check condition - factory new), etc. First thing I did when I left his house was new tires to replace the very old (possibly original) tires, before hitting the road home.
About 2/3 way down:

Dave T has (or had, at the time) a 100pt restored late '50s Cadillac that he let me drool (not literally, but I was close) all over. He oversaw every step of it, and still had culled parts from the process that had nothing discernible wrong, but just weren't up to his standard for his car.
He had a few similar spares for the SL, "just in case".

Absolutely loves cars.

 

very nice!!

 

You'd be surprised. I have seen some good replica's being sold through Lamborghini dealerships.

 

I don't think so.

 

really? that seems really odd, not spamming you, but very curious?!

what I've done, is click on each video advertisement of his, click on the flag icon, select "spam or misleading", then select "scams/fraud" ....in the box which appears, I have been typing the following:

then click submit


...if several of us did this on each of his videos, than likely could have his subscription blocked

good thing supper is slow to cook, reporting each one of these is taking some time!

 

A friend has a 1991 build, "Modena" California Spyder. I've never heard of this, but apparently this company (Modena) made about 30 of these fairly detailed replicas but was forced to cease production after they were chased off the job by Ferrari's potent legal team. Anyone know anything about these cars?(I've never seen this car, but she wants to sell it. From the little iPhone photos I saw, it looked pretty nice.) thanx steve

 

Hi Steve

Some weeks ago, i had an european auto magazine, there was a "dealer" who offered the possibility of a remake of the 250 Cali SWB on base of a Ferrari 250 GT.
I will try to find it.
I believe, the magazine was from UK, called "classic and sports cars".

these maybe?

1960 MODENA 250GT CALIFORNIA SPYDER

 

I think that's the car she is trying to sell. The RI tag makes me think so. thanx. s

 

The "Modena Spider" 250GT SWB California Spider replica your talking about is the fake car used in Ferris Buehlers Day Off. You see them on Ebay fairly often. I doubt there were only 30 made. Most have a Ford V8.

I have seen some that looked pretty darn good and others that were a mess. None of them are all that accurate nor did they really make any effort to be. They were more of a "modern interpretation" for fun than any sort of effort at an exact replica.

Absolutely correct. Three years ago I completed a rolling chassis of one which I got from Classic cars by Renucci.Mine is not a "Modena" and the body mold appears to be a considerable improvement over the "Modena" particularly from the windshield forward. I have a number of period parts, [not necessarly Ferrari parts though the seats are out of a 1960s 250 GTE] included. However I have made sure there is no real effort made to fool the trained eye that this is a real 250 California. tongascrew

 

Regardless of the quality, I wonder if the seemingly unusual RI registration would be a problem. s (disclaimer: I know nothing about RI tags or registration)

 

I think the Modena has become the Cal Spyder II

Welcome

 

I think the gold door handles really sets it apart.

Tacky as hell, but the prettiest feature on the entire car. WTF is that supposed to "replicate," anyway?

Seen at the Lamborghini dealership, no doubt.

 

A Dino, of course.

Oh. Of course.

Here are two replicas I've spotted. I thought I had a photo of another 365GTB replica that was local at a dealership, but I think I never took a photo. =(

Saw this on I-78 two years ago coming back from a Supra meet in PA.


Saw this Fiero in Brooklyn last year.


And one that's been on craigslist for a few months. If it were white, I would totally buy it. lol The front end looks somewhat accurate.
