Zerrari GTO Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Basically the court ruled that Ferrari failed to stipulate the "use" of the molds when they were provided to Maranello Concessionaires so they can not do so now. The story continues but in the end the guy who owned the bucks and the bucks themselves have disappeared off the face of the earth. . Sounds like Enzo's boys made him an offer he couldn't refuse!

veritech-z Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 veritech-z It’s tough to tell but judging from the firewall and the rest of the engine compartment that is an actual Ferrari. you're right, I went back and re-read the original thread, and that's pretty much what she described. Sorry for the mix up on my part everybody! here's a link to the thread in question: http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=115111&highlight=darn+gtos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boy from Oz Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 ... I would love to try and put one in my car some day. Speedracer, here is your chance! http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Genuine-F1-Ferrari-V12-Motor-No-037_W0QQitemZ160144057035QQihZ006QQcategoryZ46125QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelle Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 No one I know on Ferrari boards has heard of this either. Speedracer, I have a tired SOHC 4390 cc columbo engine for sale if you really want to try. The F1 engine is kewl, but reserve is likely around $80k missing a lot of parts. The pic posted earlier was of a 250 PF converted to GTO body by Greg Jones in Florida. When Joe Alphabet was selling these he apparently sold ferrari V12's to a few buyers, however my guess is most of those engines eventually found their way out of the cars over time - especially in the 90's when the prices on original F-car stuff began climbing into the stratosphere. I recently saw a fresh rebuilt Columbo engine with 6 carbs available and the price was nearly $100k, worn out but rebuildable 3 carb engines generally go around $20,000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillZ260 Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 I like how that EBAY motor comes w/ a custom build stand that allows you to rotate it 360 degrees. A nice touch! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
