    A '59 196S Fantuzzi Spyder on Craigslist?! Hmmm...

    Presumably a recreation, given the absence of a serial number, "stalled-in-progress" body, Fiat Dino motor and "Cobra" rear-end. But the chassis? I wouldn't know one if it bit me so I figured I'd post. If it's a complete recreation, please move thread to appropriate "recreation" sub-thread.

    Would love to know the story on this. I'm sure it'd be a ball when completed, regardless of authenticity.

    The chassis in the last engine compartment photo is from an E-type complete with torsion bars.

    Someone spent lots of money to this point, but there is still lots to be done...

    A replica for sure, not well done, but a great amount of effort into it. To replicatethisnwouldnbe an expensive proposition, I am surprised they don't show more pics of thenDino engine.....

    Yep, just looked around and discovered the E-type chassis match. Doesn't look like this was a cheap endeavor but still far from correct.

    Moderator, please redirect to "recreations" and apologies for posting in the main forum. Thanks!
