    Saw this car at the Pittsburgh Vintage GP. It has no drivers or passenger windows (or even the frames and the roll cage is very visible). Has a Texas historical plate. Does anyone know if this is a real one? And it a 250 or a 330 - only two vents on the side?.

    Just very curious:

    hard to tell from just the one photo there, but it looks like a "kit" to me.

    Illogical. If you are going to build a replica, build one that is as close to the original as you can make it

    Doesn't look correct around windshield trim and rear of side widows. The Photos of GTOs I have seen have sliding side windows.

    I saw the car at the show, no way it's real.

    The fact that even Ferrari enthusiasts looking at a very real car immediately think it is a replica rather than enjoying a beautiful car.
