UNLESS YOU STILL LOOK FORWARD TO
NAPTIME AND RECESS, CHANCES ARE YOU'VE SEEN THE 1986 CLASSIC MOVIE
"FERRIS BUELLERS DAY OFF". THE CENTER OF THAT FLICK FEATURED A REPLICA
OF THE 1961 FERRARI 250 GT CALIFORNIA SPYDER. THESE COMPLETELY
HAND-BUILT CARS, THEN ORIGINALLY DESIGNED AND MANUFACTURED BY MODENA
DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT OF EL CAJON, CALIFORNIA , TOOK APPROXIMATELY 6
MONTHS EACH TO BUILD.
ALTHOUGH NO TWO OF THE
ORIGINAL 100 "CALIFORNIA" FERRARI'S PRODUCED IN THE EARLY 1960s WERE
ALIKE, DUE
TO THE MANY SMALL VARIATIONS, FERRARI STILL ATTEMPTED TO SUE THE
ORIGINAL BLUE PRINTER OF THE REPLICA
BECAUSE IT WAS SO CLOSE TO THE ORIGINALS. HOWEVER, THE FIRST GENERATION
REPLICA, INITIALLY KNOWN
AS THE "MODENA SPYDER", CARRIED NO FERRARI LOGO'S BUT BECAME AN
IMMEDIATE HIT WITH ENTHUSIASTS.
WHILE YOU CAN DRIVE AROUND
TOWN OR DIVE BOMB THROUGH YOUR FAVORITE TURNS IN A FACTORY ORIGINAL
FERRARI 250 GT, FOR MOST ENTHUSIASTS, IT'S NOT AS SIMPLE AS THAT. WITH
AN HONEST-TO-MARANELLO SPYDER COMMANDING UPWARDS OF SEVEN FIGURES,
BENDING UP GENUINE ALUMINUM COACHWORK WOULD CERTAINLY
BE A BIG BAD. THAT IS WHY A REPLICA OF THIS CALIBER MAKES A LOT OF SENSE
AND IS A HASSLE-FREE PROPOSITION.
THIS SPECTACULAR AND
RARE
1960 FERRARI 250 GT REPRODUCTION OF THE SHORT WHEEL BASE CALIFORNIA SPYDER
WAS COMPLETED BY MODENA IN
1991. IT REPRESENTS A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY TO
ACQUIRE WHAT IS BECOMING ONE
OF THE MOST SOUGHT AFTER 250 GT CALIFORNIA SPYDER REPLICA'S DUE TO IT'S LIMITED
PRODUCTION AS A MODENA.
THIS METICULOUSLY MAINTAINED SPYDER SHOWS
41496 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. HOWEVER, IT HAS BEEN TREATED TO A VERY
UNIQUE FRAME-ON RESTORATION OVER THE LAST YEAR. THE ENTIRE DRIVE TRAIN
WAS REMOVED. THE ORIGINAL RELATIVELY DOCILE ENGINE HAS BEEN REPLACED
WITH A BRAND NEW FORD MOTORSPORTS FULL-ROLLER 302 V8 WITH
THE E303 CAMSHAFT - TOPPED OFF WITH AN EQUALLY BRAND NEW 8 STACK
INGLESE 48mm INDUCTION SYSTEM.

AN 8 POINT ROI.
HOWEVER, REPLICA's OF THIS CALIBER EXCEED THAT NUMBER ANNUALLY.
THE NICE THING ABOUT OLD CARS IS ...THEY ALWAYS GET OLDER.
