Wouldn't be too sure - an NSX is quite rapid as standard, if he's had any breathing done on the engine then it'll be a seriously quick tool.

Actually, there is a big business in taking old 250 2+2s (not worth a lot) and re-bodying and re-building them as 250 GTO knock-offs. I've seen some that one would have to be an expert with an uncommon knowledge of Ferrari serial numbers to know they were fakes.

"George Graves" <gmgravesnos@pacbell.net> schreef in bericht news:gmgravesnos- > "Of the 36 250 GTOs made, only about 45 survive." > - Winston Goodfellow, well known Ferrari Journalist There are at least 100 of those 250 GTE or PF coupe to GTO conversions. They are worth about 150000-200000 Euro while a 250 GTE is worth only about 60000. However the conversion costs are more than the resulting car will be worth. > Now that's really odd. How odd is it to put a V6 in a Giullietta while good 75 V6 are readily available? :-) Quoting myself from here above: "However the conversion costs are more than the resulting car will be worth.". If everybody was sensible there were no old Alfas on the road, maybe no Alfas at all just economy boxes. Had to mention this to keep the thread Alfa related. It was Alfa related because here http://home.tiscali.nl/308gto/115.jpg.htm is my beloved but momentary unattended-just-drive-until-something-breaks Alfasud next to "the bastard". > "George Graves" <gmgravesnos@pacbell.net> schreef in bericht > news:gmgravesnos- [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > How odd is it to put a V6 in a Giullietta while good 75 V6 are readily > available? :-) Ahh, but mine is unique, and a *lot* cheaper. Personally as well, U prefer the look of the Giulietta to the 75, but the engine of the 75 to the Giulietta. A plan with no drawbacks (apart from the cost, of course) :) > Quoting myself from here above: "However the conversion costs are more > than the resulting car will be worth.". If everybody was sensible there > were no old Alfas on the road, maybe no Alfas at all just economy boxes. Don't get me wrong. I like odd things, but I really can't see the point in making a car look like something it's not, kit cars excluded. > Had to mention this to keep the thread Alfa related.

I didn't make it look like something it is not, I made it look like a beautiful car, which it is now, the perfect shape in my opinion not meaning my actual (lack of) craftmenship which is average. It looks now like a nice fun car and that's what it is. Still a "308" badge on the back but no more big US bumpers and sidelights and nice fat wheels now in a wider body. Just like for you the perfect car didn't exist, Giulietta V6, and you had to build it, I did the same, a 308 GTS (targa) with GTO muscular look. It has the perfect "look" now, a real 288GTO is wider and has a longer wheelbase, but is not better looking, just different. Others may disagree and I have no problem, in fact there was a discussion on a Dutch forum were the project was flamed to the ground but I was not offended and even posted a link to this discussion on my site. >> Don't get me wrong.
