1959 Ferrari 250GT Testa Rossa Alloy Recreation

Is it me or is that windscreen miles out of line? In fact, the whole front end looks a bit skewiff to me
Other than that, it gives me a loin tingling feeling looking at it.

 

Sure looks tilted.

 

Could be the reflections on the paint.

 

what did it sell for ?

 

The sale is April 20-21 in Marshall, TX.

 

I copied the photo into Photoshop and checked some reference points on the car. At first I thought it might be distortion from the camera but when I put some guides on the ref points it appears to be skewed. The left headlight and pontoon fender are low as is the left side of the windshield. The tops of both rear fenders are even, where the tires meet the ground, both are at the same level. Still could be camera/lens distortion, or a really bad body

 

I imagine doing that on a real one would have similar results .

I imagine any handbuilt body would exhibit asymmetry to some extent. I'll have to dig through my TR photos and do the same check.

 

or any ferrari of that era and for a good while later on.

What is the s/n for this car and who built it and when and a list and dates of ownership. This kind of info is important for this sub forum to be effective. tongascrew

 

This was the car out of the Gene Ponder Collection. Don't know the serial, others may. Sold at auction for $341,000 in 07.
