    okay so back maybe 15 years ago, i recall watching on TV, a movie or series (more likely a movie).

    I recall it involved a racecar (was it even ferrari? i recall it was red), it was a vintage race car, maybe can-am style. basically the part of the plot i remember is:

    guy picks out a wrecker chassis from a junkyard

    makes an exact replica of said race car (im guessing it was some famous race car that won a race) and sells it as the real deal

    details included- restamping the serial number

    also when the car is on display, it nearly gets busted for some wiring looking too new? maybe? and also the shade of yellow on some bolt was slightly the wrong shade of yellow or something?


    DID I DREAM THIS WHOLE THING?? i have LITERALLY been chasing that show since i saw it as a child. someone please help.

    cheers

    Yeah, it is called the "One and Only 0846 Thread" and you will find it on F=Chat. (I'm just kidding!)

    I couldn't resist.

    No disrespect to Napolis, and I actually believe his car is genuine. But this was just a big, fat, hanging curve ball.

    Is he still active on the forum? I came across the P4/5 thread and read through it on and off this past week. Interesting stuff, even if i'm almost a decade late to the party.

    Back to the OP's original question: it really is a head scratcher!

    IMDB the plot for It Takes Two (1988) and see if it is the movie. A guy builds a fake red Countach and sells it to a girl or something. I'm stumped and this is all I could come up with.

    there was a twilight zone episode where a dino was faked [someone talked a car guy with a shop to fake stamp the serial number, I think]

    at least I think it was the twilight zone [the modern version]
