Great looking car, this one is a replica!


I think the car was built by Modena Design Replicas...this company was sued by Ferrari, and Ferrari won claiming that the Modena cars were almost indistinguishable. This has made the replicas far more valuable. Here is one for sale that is selling for $74K. i don't think Modena is around anymore.

I couldn't find any exsisting kits, I'd bet too many manufacturers were too scared to try to make a 250 GT kit after Ferrari won the suit against Modena. But if you have an itch for a classic 60's thoroughbred may Ii suggest this instead:

they even build the Daytona

Factory 5's are street legal race cars built with modern components and technology. They've won tons of engineering awards. They are more a tribute car than a replica or kit car. They are the real deal in performanc, not ashow queen. They share teh same look as the old Cobras, but underneath the technlogy is relaly quite different. Best of all the are actually affordable!
