330 GTO

[AndrewD]

This is a replica, albeit I think on a 250 GTO chassis, but I wonder why nobody ever mentions the 330 GTO - to my eyes the 3 they made with the bonnet bulge are even more stunning than the 250 GTO (ok, I know it was never an official model designation)

Stunning,

Im not sure on a 250 GTO Chassis, surely that would be worth more than the 700k asking price? could match it up with one of the spare 250 GTO bodies lurking around and your half way to a non matching numbers gto worth a few mill.

My German may be a little rusty, but the car in the advert doesn’t have a GTO chassis, it has a GTE chassis modified to GTO spec chassis (engine mounts moved back, rear suspension watts linkage attached etc)

Hmm, I translated it as it has a gto chassis, not a gte one.

If you look closely at the helmet on one of the pics, it says M Schumacher. I assume the owner of such a car isn't so sad as to have a helmet with his hero's name on the side, so I'm surmising MS is the seller...

It also states that its a matching numbers car . . . . one thing we do know, is that every single GTO chassis to leave the factory, is accounted for, so at very best, its got a reproduction chassis

Very strange! There's also a 250 GT SWB Competizione listed, no mention of it being a recreation, but they're only asking chf 1m...

Appears to have the classic 'windscreen depth' issue of all of the GTO replicas I've seen other than the excellent Paul Vestey one, so I wouldn't hold out too much hope of it being a top drawer one.
But then it depends on the asking ££££'s & one's view on the destruction of a possibly decent GTE!
Just my (probably inconsequential & undoubtedly uninformed) opinion.
