Ray Posted September 11, 2003 Share Posted September 11, 2003 Ferrari replica built on a vette chasis. Look under McBurrnie or Ferrari daytona spyder in a online search.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Drewz Posted September 11, 2003 Share Posted September 11, 2003 I think they have become a little collectable and are worth a little bit o change...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heavy Z Posted September 11, 2003 Share Posted September 11, 2003 I've seen many on ebay for $10k-$15k, not bad considering the price of vettes these days. They do look great and very closely resemble the ferrari, although I like them built on older vettes as the windshield looks more appropriate to the original. how do you know its fake? If the one in the picture is real, then it's worth more than the houses in that neighborhood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevor Posted September 12, 2003 Share Posted September 12, 2003 how do you know its fake? Corvette- based- kit is Bigger than a real Ferrari Daytona too. The 280ZX-based Daytona kits (Velo Rossa used to sell - maybe John does again?) are closer to the actual wheelbase and width of the originals.

JMortensen Posted September 12, 2003 Share Posted September 12, 2003 A real Daytona wouldn't have 6 spoke ZX wheels on it... Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeedRacer Posted September 13, 2003 Share Posted September 13, 2003 Actually, most Ferrari Daytona Spyders had Borranni knock-off wire wheels as standard equipment. Here are some examples http://www.barchetta.cc/english/All.Ferraris/summary/SN.365.GTS4.Daytona.Spyder.htm Tom McBurnie http://www.thunderranch.com/ did a really good job of creating the Daytona replica. http://www.ucclermont.com/~kelleybe/ The fact that his replica was used in the Miami Vice TV show is what got Ferrari all up in arms and their lawyers started shutting down all the Ferrari kit car manufactures. And yes, the Corvette was wider so (except for the very early McBurnies) the replica had pretty decent flares around the wheel wells. http://www.kitcars.com/Classifieds/AdDetails.asp?classified_id=2582 My guess is it would be an early McBurnie. If it's a real Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Daytona Spyder it would be one of 122 and be worth $260,000 to $390,000 according to my latest copy of Cavallino http://www.cavallino.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
