Hey if it gets another Ferrari recommissioned I’m all for it! But I don’t have any good advice for you LOL so another thread is definitely a good...
my dad and I have done many things that are well beyond the capability of most (in fact he is a micro-vascular surgeon who reconnects fingers,...
great advice Steve! I’m just happy to be part of the community. I’m also realistic that this won’t ever be an all-original Ferrari, but quite...
we will take on this project like you would eat an elephant!
to me, a real Ferrari could actually be a set of GTO doors, assuming you connect it to other authentic, factory built GTO parts, correct? that’s...
I’ll do my best to bring it back to original! It will (eventually) have a restored original GTE frame and an engine & transmission out of another...
Exactly! But I'm going to have someone there locally take some detailed photos of the frame asap and will share them here when I have them!
I haven't taken a closer look quite yet, and didn't realize the importance of the frame until this thread! I am 1k miles from the frame so have to...
Thanks for the advice! I'm 31, married but not able to have children naturally. So this project is going to be something I work on for the rest of...

That was a replica being built by the former owner of the body of 2263 GT, who sold it to me earlier this year. I took the photos with the replica...
I didn't know this, so thank you for letting me know! I did know the frame was cut apart. It did come with some other pieces I haven't pictured....
This is good input and I definitely see this perspective! I am 31 years old, and intend to restore this car very slowly over many years....
As of now, I don't have any detailed pictures of the frame. I did not originally plan to use it, actually. It came with the car, but I was going...
My original goal was to bring it back as close to original condition as possible, using vintage Ferrari parts. But I realized that was going to be...
Lots of work ahead indeed! And will only get more challenging to find reasonably priced original parts as time goes on. For now, I am very happy...
As of now, I don't know the frame number. And it definitely was not original to the car. I purchased the frame with the body and was told it was...
I don’t have any close up images of the frame so it’s hard to say what the stamped number on the frame is without checking, which won’t be...
good point! I bet this is exactly what happened.
Marcel, thank you again for the input! It helps to know that # 39739 was the 38th off the production line. I do have some images of the frame...
