How Sacriligious would it be to buy a 250 GTO Replica

About as sacrilegious as remaking Blazing Saddles....MONGO!!!!

 

...you would still have a piece of junk...but it would be a NICE SOUNDING piece of junk!...

 

if you have fun with it and arent passing it off as real go for it !

I wouldn't do it. You'll always have to explain...

My husband bought a replica Lambo (just liking Lambos is sacriligious IMO) with an excellent paint job, but the interior sucked (pleather) and don't get me started on how the engine sounded..... I talked him into his senses and he sold it.

 

Who cares - buy what you like

 

OMG!

What would Enzo say?

IMVHO the fun of owning a Ferrari is owning a REAL Ferrari.

Would rather own the cheapest Fcar than a replica. People who buy replicas never go to heaven and are condemned to eternal immortal damnation. Other than that, go for it!

 

IIRC, the original Datsun/Nissan Z was modeled after the GTO, so has most of the right proportions. It would be a matter of changing out body panels, and if so inclined, the drivetrain. http://www.zparts.com/history/zkits/alfagto/images/gto_m2a.jpg.

 

If The Body was by Drogo....

No Sacrilige at all..

Who made the body?

 

You mean like how I have to explain that my car isn't the new Mustang?

 

If you can't afford the real thing forget about it. It's like owning a fake Birkin or a Rolex/Patek.

Some people do it anyway. I think it's pretty cheesy.

 

I've heard of a guy who owns a 250 California and he insists it's the real deal, but some professional car dealers say the opposite....... Who do we believe! Who cares...... as long as he's happy and drives a "Ferrari".

 

Some of these replicas aka tribute cars are pretty well done and largely with Ferrari parts. That's pretty cool. In fact rumor has it that there are more than a few owners of these cars with replicas as drivers. Same with TR's.

Personally, a replica that is done well to me is just as nice if it promises a similar driving experience. No V-8's, no modern conveniences and no updated technology. Of course, if this is what you crave, there are many affordable alternatives from the era that will give you the same rush.

 

a very well known Ferrari (0666) tr has an exact copy.
it took years to build and well over 600,000 in 1990 dollars

I would take it in a second !!!

 

that is seriously funny dave!!
