    Slick old Corvair.

    Ran good considering the smoke on the port bank.

    Was that an actual Ferrari GTO? The record GTO sale was $70M

    No. It looks to be a body kit for Datsun Z.

    I walked right by it to the MG w/the killer motor.

    I thought it was legit but again, didn’t pay attention to it.
    I knew it’s rarity but it stopped there.

    It does look like glass inside the rear wheel arch.

    But…., there was a wealthy local guy there that had several high end cars so I assumed it was his.

    There is some stupid money on/around that island.

    If you zoom in on his entry form on the windshield, it says ‘63 Ferrari GTO”.

    Yes, it's a fake GTO, but not badly done. I suppose I don't understand why someone would spend the money and effort to make a GTO repiica from a Datsun. For the same money/work one could have a real desirable something else. For me, real is usually better.

    But not always. Ferrari made 38 GTOs and the joke is that all 50 survive to this day. Some less valuable Ferrari's were turned into GTO replicas, back when less valuable Ferrari meant something. I could see taking a 2+2 250 Ferrari from that era and making a GTO copy. It would not be too valuable to drive.

    296 HP at 7500 rpm from a 3L V12.

    Pretty sure this was a real Testarrosa.

    Its owner is the one w/several cars. Including a Lotus and a Lamborghini.
