Regrading post 1358, I have seen this 4-cam many years ago, and it appeared unrestored at the time. I looked at it very closely as I spoke to the owner about the trim details. I was convinced that the details are original. Some other 275s have more trim than typical, 07993 comes to mind. The profiles of the extra trim on this gold 4-cam, the attachment details, fasteners, looked very much like Scaglietti details. No one would have gone to the trouble to shape the section profiles like this after the fact. The spears on the bonnet were very well fitted and look wonderful. The interior leather at the time was clearly original the way it was aged and sewn, in two-tone leather - black bolsters and green centers. The rear lights are 500 Superfast.
Are you really really sure it is a really real photo? Look at the driver, looks like some sort of computer generated image...?
I'm not sure if it's real either. I just liked the overhead composition. It's something rarely seen from that period. Now that you mention it, it looks like the seat belts are not being used.
plus, in order to get that overhead shot at that speed a truck had to be driving at the front of the Ferrari at 200mph while the photographer was standing on the back. Unless he has hanging in a tree or a bridge.
So, on this page we have 275 GTB #07173 enhanced by modern coach building techniques and 2 photos of a 512s enhanced by modern photographical techniques. However, that is acceptable within the parameters of this thread and all look very dramatic and sexy. No arguments from me.
The presence of wing mirrors, a roof, and a black tow hook all make me say 'rendered, not photographed'. If it was real, which chassis would it represent? I'm probably wrong though. Cool picture, either way.
