    Well, given that as far as I know and if memory serves as per Bill B.'s comprehensive article for Forza on conversions, Scaglietti never did any coupe to convertible conversions other than the 122 or so factory cars.

    So, the ebay add is at best false in that regard at least. Who really did the conversion?

    Steering wheel is incorrect. Dash cover materials are not correct. Ignition upgraded to MSD units in place of dinoplex. Also, this car sure looks US spec to me. My Euro model does not have the dinoplex mounting pedastals that the MSD units are mounted on. The fuse box and cover also appear to be as per a US spec car. The car is missing some of the engine bay heat shielding fiberglass and aluminum pieces.

    With tan seats and doors the center console should also be tan.

    It does look pretty good though overall. The photos dont show details on the conversion however so no way to tell if it was really done correctly.

    I wonder whats wrong with the suspension? You would think he would at least give some details.

    This car has no chassis mods. Look at the width of the vertical brace in the center of the front inner wheel well. Rear side marker lights too high on quarters. Odd looking right hand outside rear view mirror. Headrest inserts should be tan, not black. Back deck profile way too flat, no arch at corners.
