And the old joke was that there was a Concours for
the 37 250 GTO and 45 showed up.

There are two Ferrari 250 LMs in existence with the same serial
number - one has the OEM Engine, the other has the OEM
Chassis/coachwork. Can't recall the S/N, but both were on-sale at
the same time for $3-7 Million, each.....

There was a 250GTO reproduction around here for a while built
on a modified Ford Mustang platform with Mustang 5.0
power.
Proportionally and visually it was an outstanding copy. Until
it started up you wouldn't have guessed...
One of the better repros I've seen.

There was a company some years back, can't remember if they
were Swiss based, or Italian. They were making "reproduction"
cars of the first GTOs and such. Some had 400i V12, and other
sourced bits if I remember. They were a little bit too good, and
Ferrari had them shut down. As I remember, they were pretty much
clone cars, down to the hand beaten panels. They even fooled
some well seasoned Ferrari fans. I'm sure the ones made are
still kicking around somewhere.

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.
