    Definitely a conversion as there were no factory convertibles. Also the dash, door panels and seats are all modified.

    Very pretty though

    Looksmart is about the same quality as BBR for half the price.

    I have to say this but i think that this GTC/4 Cabrio is even better looking than the Daytona Spyder.

    of the rear bonnet...Then, how much conversions like those ?

    I'd still like to know if the red hardtop (behind the car in the opening post) fits this GTC/4, and what it looks like on the car...

    Steve, have a look at http://www.looksmartmodels.com/

    Unfortunately not everything on their site is released yet and quite a lot of the already released models are sold out, but you can get an idea about the quality.

    Hi Kare

    Thanks for the reply. I think this car was also red in 1989. My files show

    1972 FERRARI 365 GTC/4 COUPE; LOT #714 - RESERVE

    1989 Barrett Jackson COLOR - RED
    CYLINDERS - 12
    VIN - 14927

    Likely a repaint at some point. Interesting to note the auction description does not mention being cut car.

    Regards,

    Lee

    Is that the same car that in 2009 was offered as a "NART" Spyder in Spain, and a year later peddled by Jürgen Brodesser on behalf of “J.F. Colson”?

    The red/tan definitely works on making this car prettier.
