Ferrari Mailing List: Fake Ferrari's

[LarryT (l02turner]

The new Autoweek arrived today and there was a odd article.  Seems a wealthy 
family in Italy has been modifying wrecked Ferrari's & engines to make them 
look like more valuable ones.  I figured someone was turning a 308 into a 
288GTO or something similar.  People can do amazing stuff with FRP.

Then they lost me - they said the American connection was Pontiac Fiero's 
were the base /donor car for some of their creations.  Creations?  More like 
abortions.

Seems some Fiero's were rebodied to look like a 308GTB.  I guess until 
Ferrari issued a court order stopping that here (I think) - but even so, 
doesn't seem like there'd be much profit in that kind of reproduction?

I can scan the article if others want to read it.
