More GTO chat

The engine is -for me- non-Ferrari....

 

The whole car is non-Ferrari.

 

This belongs in the replica section, not this thread..

 

OK, so, can anybody set the rest of it on fire...

 

In general L4 was, up until recently, the registration code for test plates issued in the province of Modena, hence the numerous pictures over the years of Ferraris and Maseratis wearing those numbers.

Oh yes.Just count the velocity stacks for a start. tongascrew

 

Can we stop polluting this thread with discussions on that piece of ***** that even my dogs can recognise as a poor replica.

Mods can you delete all posts about this NON-GTO that burnt please.

I am told that a UK GTO that has just been through Classische has been sold for $50m

No idea which one. Any guesses ?

 

3451 GT ?

 

Maybe it was a mercy killing.

 

Barbie girl, made of plastic..
May be one should chop a real one to check how it looks? After all , should not be worse than a 275 Nart spyder?

 

Have there been any developments on this?

It's not a UK car but 4153GT has just been through Classiche.

 

Someone in Los Angeles is claiming on a LinkedIn Ferrari forum that they legitimately offering a Series 1 GTO and a SWB California.

5.7L is a 350 Chevy.....LOL!

 

I bought them already on Craigslist, sent the money to Cyprus, sold them again on ebay for Paypal money.

 

wait! that could be a 250 GTE in disguise.

 

Its not.

Are you sure? I heard that one of the EX-Piper GTO's (I think there was 4491, 3767 and a few more that escape me) were recently sold. I believe it was the one advertised recently on finecars.cc for $41mio. Quite a jump from Summer 1973, when it sold to someone in the US for about $16,000.

 

There was a question as to whether the person advertising the GTO on Finecars with the $41 million asking price actually had a car for sale. The car that person claimed to have the authority to sell, was not #4491 or #3767, and Sir AB owns the latter, but #3809.

 

#3809 is the subject of persistent rumors, but to my knowledge is still in Ibing's hands, as it has been for a really long time.

Does anyone know if #5111 is still in the Torrota collection or is it with JMA?

 

If it smells, looks, walks and sounds like a scam, it must be a real sale of a GTO, speaking of which for a finders fee I can sell you a GTO............ well a nice 1/24th scale one.

 

That finecars.cc ad may have been sketchy, but I never thought I'd see this in a 1989 NYT classified section! (maybe more plausible if 15 to 20 years before that...)

I wonder what that translated to in USD back then....

Looking up the average exchange rate for 1989 it would have been about $9.5M USD.

Not sure if you've seen that pictures before, but looks like 3445GT is almost ready 1 year after the accident!

And, last weekend, while taking my F40 for a health check as a bit smokey, I saw 4491GT undergoing some work before getting Classiche Certification! Such a nice color...

So it looks like Ferrari Classiche who are rebuilding 250 GTO 3445GT and also that it's only had repairs to the front of the car rather than needing a total rebody????

There's no reference to it in the Pistonheads article where the pictures came from: Ferrari - to love or hate? PH Blog - PistonHeads
