Rebodys for sale? SWB LWB etc.

I know of nothing now but have seen good vintage TR's, SWB's GTO's etc. A good one is expensive. Good luck in your search and when the "purists" on this forum start
*****ing at you about "the loss of another 250 GTE" to make a recreation tell them to get a life.

 

Thankfully the world is not completely full of pretenders/fakes/losers/non-enthusiasts : http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/showpost.php?p=137633561&postcount=70

Do what you like, after it's only a car and we hate them all, should be recycled into dog food cans ... psst: this is a site dedicated to those supposedly wonderful old cars ... obviously they really are crap after all . Pete's off looking for chat sites about recycling steel ...

You should get in touch with Alwin Hietbrink in the Netherlands.

Cal Spyder rebody: http://www.fiskens.com/pages/shop/item_detail.aspx?pid=341

These guys had a 250SWB rebody but it's been sold (scroll down under "cars for sale" here: http://www.racecar.co.uk/250swb/index.htm). You may want to contact them about other rebodies.

 

Cars International Kensington is advertising rebodied "250 series" Ferraris (likely built on PF coupe or GTEs chassis) with 250SWB and 250GTO bodies.

See:

Tom -

There's plenty either side of the "pond"

www.fantasyjunction.com in Emeryville CA sometimes offer an appropriate car

Replicas by Giordanengo, Allegretti, Favre, Roelofs, Sport Auto or Bachelli are some of the most faithful rebuilds

Try www.anamera.cc, www.classicdriver.com or www.hemmings.com

The quality ranges from the direct facsimile to the frankly hideous.

Agree with Daytonasme. Have you seen the Noble on eBay?

 

Two California rebodies here (one SWB one LWB) unusual to see these at a franchised Ferrari dealership (look in preowned other Ferraris) They want huge money for them too.

Crazy money ! Id get a Lusso for that much money.

 

Norwood P4 Replica at Fantasy Junction.
$365K and it looks like it needs a good going over...

Not that I am offering an opinion, but... a GTE based 250 TRC, at a great dealer.

Cavallo Motorsports in Encinitas California had a yellow 250 SWB rebody when I was there a couple of months ago. You might contact them as I believe the car was for sale. Looked very cool....built on a 250 GTE chassis.

 

What about this no reserve Cal Spyder rep on a 250GTE chassis at RM Auctions later this week? Low guide price at $125,000 would be a real bargain:

The lines are WAY off on the RM Cal. Spyder replica - it's too wide and low. They also did the interior on the cheap by covering the dash in leather rather than the correct crinkle finish. You get what you pay for.

Compare http://www.rmauctions.com/CarDetails.cfm?SaleCode=MO08&CarID=r249

with:

http://www.dealer.ferrari.com/carrs/

(go to "pre-owned" on the left and then "other ferraris" on the right)

 

I agree that the lines and the execution of the dash are not right, but I think only the early Californias had the wrinkle finish.

 

"Fine Car Store" should not be mentioned along with Marchetti and DK IMHO. The car pictured looks more like the fiberglass body by Precision/Modena Design on the Fiat 124 than an accurate recreation.

I would be willing to part with my accurate Allegretti California 250 SWB recreation on shortened 365 GT2+2 for the right price (a good bit cheaper than the GBP 449,000 at Carrs of Exeter). Engine was completely rebuilt last year and body is flawless.

PM me if you have interest.
