Another What is it ?

[Flares&Chestwig]

So come on, what is it, the wheel base looks huge but the glass and roof look so familiar

Looks like a Datsun 240z based kit from the roofline.

ETA. No, it's not a 240.

I am not sure what the poor thing is now, but it WAS a 1962 Ferrari 250GTE. There is a brief piece about it in the March issue of C&SC, and some discusion on the C&SC website.

Seller doesn't seem to know much either

Rear 1/4 behind wheel looks a bit early Mustang to me

[fatboy69]

That looks truly horrible.

It's not a Datsun, Mustang or some sort of a kit car, it's a bdization of a genuine 1962 Ferrari 250 GTE! (Chassis #4063)

I do love the 250GTE, wonder if that could be restored to standard and still turn a profit..

You would think that going by the massive money gto's make some restorer would snap that up. Ok it needs everything, but surely having the original chassis & number is worth its weight in gold?

I started to get some really silly thoughts then until I opened up the other link :-)

[oliverb205]

Their idea of "very complete" doesn't match mine.

Apart from "very much completely ruined"...

More likely, is that the bare chassis will be modified to GTO or SWB Cal Spyder spec and replacement running gear sourced

[Justayellowbadge]

That is a scam advert.

[Ru78]

Got to be a scam. Pic is one from the US website, and car is undervalued...
But what is the logic behind these scam ads? I've seen quiet a few, with a poorly described car, and request to contact the seller through email only?

Yeah, the ebay ad looked like the usual scam.

However, doesn't change the the fact some muppet had destroyed a GTO
