    Sorry, but not as pretty as the 330GT they started from.

    Of course, that would depend on how crumpled, rusty, banged up, etc, the donor 330 was...

    Not too bad on it's own, but it doesn't compare well with the Vignale original which is absolutely spot on...

    Gorgeous for sure, but I've never quite understood using a mid-60's disc-braked chassis for an early-50's drum-braked rebody (330 chassis for Touring spiders, etc.). Unlike most here, I'm not a stickler for originality (every car I've ever owned has been modified to taste) but the eras are just too different and too far apart to get my head around.

    Still, it'll be a helluva fun car for the owner to enjoy and that's what matters, regardless of any or our opinion.

    +1 and I assume the choice of chassis was determined by cost and availability otherwise as you say, it makes little sense
