Probably the second most replicated car in the world, second to the shelby cobra, the shelby Daytona. Timeless beauty i must say and still compares to modern cars performance wise.

I saw it on the Amsterdam AutoRAI and I can tell you it looks every bit as good in the metal!

Nice car and this tells someting too:

"I’ve driven more than 1000 cars since I first pedalled Ferrari’s greatest road car and still it stands proud of them all. But then I drove a plastic-bodied, pushrod-powered, South African-built replica of a slightly obscure mid-’60s American race car. And now I’m not so sure."

Funny you should say that, it is a push rod V8 with a carburettor... I could have sworn all y'all have nothing but negative things to say about those "old tech" engines..

Man that looks sweet, and i think there's something pretty special about the engine being on carbs and pushrods...bet it sounds mean.
