SHO-Z Posted August 20, 2005 Share Posted August 20, 2005 I didn't see anywhere he admits to it being a rebodied Z but from the pictures it looks and smells like a Z so it must be one. It looks like a high quality kit. Bid is up to $43.1K. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1962-Fe-ra-i-GTO-1-off-replica_W0QQitemZ4569270456QQcategoryZ7251QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem#ebayphotohosting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMortensen Posted August 20, 2005 Share Posted August 20, 2005 Well he shows the AZC suspension but the car doesn't have camber plates. That is enough to make me suspicious. Other than that looks pretty nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim240z Posted August 20, 2005 Share Posted August 20, 2005 Little things that detract from his statement "no expense spared": 1. Flex hose for top radiator hose. 2. Cheesy motor mounts 3. really cheesy strut brace (welds look bogus and the round tubing looks to be just hammered flat at the ends). Probably effective, but detracts from the look of the bay. 4. Stock Z accelerator linkage looks out of place..... 5. plug wires look to be slapped in there with no though of neat and tidy placement.

Here comes trouble Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 I would call it slick advertising......anyway you look at it is a re-skinned Z with some good parts....Chelle's GTO re-do project is more impressive with rear window,longer wheel base, BMW V-12 and more correct venting. Speed Racer's GTO looks better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeedRacer Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 I am pretty sure this guy called me from NY looking for various pieces and it's obvious he found the very rare Kirtco Rocker Box valve covers!!!!!! At these prices maybe I should consider selling mine????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeedRacer Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 WOW - 21 minutes to go and it's up to $49,900 !!!!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
violacleff Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 they must think the car comes with the playmate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SleeperZ Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 That buyer is going to be pretty unhappy. I wouldn't consider it merely because of the spelling and punctuation errors, let alone the deceit. Feast thine eye's on one the greatest car's ever made by italian hand's! This is a one off Fer#a#i GTO replica. This car came in first place at the Nassau Colusium custom car show in November of 2004. Just to get some perspective, the real thing sell's for around 14 million dollar's (1990 Sutherby's auction). This car is barely discernable from the real thing! I have had Ferrari collector's see the car and think it was the real thing! The car has a 500hp 400 sbc roller motor which is destroked, and can rev to 8000 rpm's (see pic for a detailed list of spec's). I own a 2004 Dodge viper and this car is faster off the line. I have receipt's for close to $100,000 into her. There will be no dissapointment's, or your money back. Check my rating history. The car has power disc willwood racing brake's, a racing 5 speed (t-5), bullitproof posi rear end, subframe connector's to keep the frame from twisting. The car was assembled by the famous Billy Andrew's, who restored the "lost GTO" that was found and purchased in a field for $3,500.00 in kansas and restored by Billy and sold for over $2,000,000.00 a year later Oooh, a T-5! Buy this "italian hand-made" car for $50,000 and it'll sell for $4,000,000 next year... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Battle Pope Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 If you could afford to spend over 100k building a car, you'd think you could pay someone ten bucks to proofread your ad. He musta bought too many apostrophes, cause he sure used 'em liberally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
