    I had the privilege of seeing one of the few 4.0L 250 GTOs....very exciting, as I had not yet seen an original GTO yet. There were some other "run of the mill" cars there, like a 250 SWB, and Daytona Spider, but this one got me.

    I am quite sure it is 3673SA. Is this car still owned by Matsuda? The pic seems to be taken elsewhere.

    But a 250 GTO? No... it is 100% not.
    3673SA actually is a 400 Superamerica chassis that originally had a 250 SWB style body on it. This car was later rebodied as a GTO.

    I remember have seen a very impressive replica 330 GTO copied on 3673SA some years ago. Must be this one.
    I'm searching the pics...

    3673 SA is owned by David Scaife in USA. Was never owned by Viessmann.
    Also: 4561 GT doesn't belong to Stieger but since many years to Swiss Carlo Vögele.

    Gentlemen

    3673 is not a GTO and never was. Matsuda sold the car to Sybolic around 2001, Viessmann bought 3673 in 2001. After he realised that the car was a 400SA and not a GTO, he put the car back to the sellers in the USA. The car was resold to an American. The car was never a GTO. Just a SA with a swb body from new. This is verified by Ferrari factory. end of story Why do we still refer to this car as a GTO. Let us remove this car from the charts once and for all

    Thanks for the pics too

    OK, this GTO must be 3673SA.
    Nothing to do with the replica I thought.
    Sorry for the confusion.

    The pics of the original (??) body of 3673SA are strange : look like an SWB replica !!!
