When I was in Switzerland some decades ago with Mark Stehrenberger, the artist who draws cars, we popped over to Franco Sbarro's shop in Neuchatel and saw three GT40s being built. I think he was on the team of a Count Filipinetti that fielded a GT40 for Shelby after Ferrari failed to send him the latest Ferrari for LeMans (or maybe it was a Daytona coupe) . Anyway maybe he ended up with enough GT40 spares to build some more cars. I recall at some point after he displayed one, that journalist historian Karl Ludvigsen took him to task for using the SN of some already existing GT40 on one of his replicas. But the one I had a ride in was a GT40 body on top of a Pantera. It looked convincing from some angles except for the VW type exhausts coming out from under the body. Sbarro, short, white hair, glasses, seemed unapologetic for copying cars. In later years, after my visit, I think he started sort of a school for car builders or designers and every year they would show a car at the big auto show in Switzerland.
Has this GT40 body/Pantera chassis been discussed on the forum?
