    Heretofore I thought it was on 330GT SN8733 the body from the Fellini movie Toby Dammit was put onto and painted red and given a full wise glass windshield.
    But then as I looked on the site called Coachbuild
    at the many pictures
    of a 250GTE# NART spyder SN2235


    Fantuzzi Ferrari 250 GTE NART Spyder #2235GT 1961

    it seems to be the same body shape as the Golden Ferrari, minus the side vents and rear fender side vents of the golden car in the movie. Anybody know the origin of the body on the NART spyder other than being by Fantuzzi?

    ..over the Golden Ferrari side view. It looks a little taller

    Fantuzzi Ferrari 250 GTE NART Spyder #2235GT 1961

    in this side view and the side vents on the front fender are different
    and the windshield is taller
    the rear fender side vents are missing
    but otherwise it looks the same.
    But now I have to check the NART 350GTE history I think it was already existant when the golden Ferrari was made.
    That idea of laying a transparent overlay picture atop another picture of the car came to me from a guy who bought an early barchetta and discovered it was a LeMans racer by laying a transparent picture over the LeMans race picture and found the body with its unique hood scoop was the same

    I suspect that you will find that the Fantuzzi rebody of 4381 SA came before that of 2235 GT.
