    There should be some code written into Photoshop to prevent that!

    I love this part: "now equipped with a powerful, American 8 cylinder engine and automatic transimsion which operate very well. Aside from this, this car is mostly original" LOL! Rip out the engine, tranny, clutch, proper Ferrari exhaust, and who knows what
    else had to be change for this 'conversion' and have the nerve to say it's 'mostly original'. Shameful. What a waste...

    Sold for $75K. Is the body worth that much? Seems like it might be tough to find the correct drive train to make it right.

    ..Is that an Olds V-8?( in the e-bay ad.) Everyone knows that well dressed Ferrari owners prefer "Bow ties"

    At least it's a Chevy small block and not a Ford. :D

    It wasn't a totally unheard-of transplant, brought on by finicky Eye-talyan motors that were hard to tune (as if they're that much easier now). This type transplant has kept more than a few Ferraris, Maseratis, and others on the road and out of the scrap heap.
    Worse could have been done.
    I thought about that 250 longer than I should have. Would have been fun.

    I was watching that auction...only thing to make it partially 'right' would be to put in a slightly more readily available modern Ferrari engine, which would be quite the project. That wouldn't be so bad, I mean the original engine is gone now so no way to fix that. But I'd sleep well at night with a 250 in my garage powered by any Ferrari V8 (assuming it would fit).
