PeterAllen Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 I’m open to genuine ‘expressions of interest’ for my LS1/250 GTO project. I’m getting on and health issues are sapping my enthusiasm. I have extensive documentation of this project – including cost – but suffice to state the following key points: - S30 shell - full rotisserie restoration with strengthened frame rails. - 250 GTO body by Charlie Puckett of California – one of four known kits. These are the crème de la crème of kits as far as matching the Ferrari shape goes. I have made wide fibreglass doors to enhance the appearance of a GTO. - LS1 taken from a 2005 VZ donor car with 80,000km on the odometer that I bought in 2008 – it is fitted and runs. - Dayton 72 spoke knock-off wire wheels with new Pirelli tyres. - Wilwood brakes with Wosa’s handbrake setup. - Plus – All new wiring loom made up and fitted – alloy fuel tank - many other bits. There are numerous posts about this project on HybridZ “250 GTO Owners” thread I am only interested in discussing a sale face-to-face. The project can be inspected in Sydney. This car was my dream retirement project but I have to face the reality of unforseen extraneous factors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KatoKid Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 Noooooooooo! Pete, don't know what to say. Love the way you've done everything so far, great attention to detail, be such a shame to not finish it yourself. Sometimes life makes decisions for us. I'm sure you dwelled on this for a while and its been tough to make this call. Good luck, I sure it will go to a good home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RB30X Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 Dammit Peter. If I won that 100 million the other night, I'd get that thing finished for you so you could just enjoy it for a few years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aussie240z Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 really sorry to hear this Peter, wish you all the best in the sale and, more importantly, your health. Best regards Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dat2kman Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 I would have thought it was polite for a person wishing to enquire about someones car that is for sale, that the enquirer call the seller, not the other way around! Or send a private message, making the enquiry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterAllen Posted December 5, 2012 Author Share Posted December 5, 2012 Correct Gavin, and my apologies. I had assumed people would use a PM but James has few posts and is obviously not familiar with that function. I have spoken to James, a very interested chap, but negotiations are not proceeding. I stated 'face to face' contact as I didn't want tyre-kickers and there is so much detail to describe this project it would get lost in a written description... it is in large part a handcrafted automobile. A good example is the last component I made which was a casing for the gear selector. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterAllen Posted December 5, 2012 Author Share Posted December 5, 2012 At Goodwood I was able to photograph the interior of all 11 GTOs present and physically measure the gear selector casing so I could make an exact copy. I also took photos of the bodywork because I love those curves! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaygZ Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 They are without doubt, one of the most beautiful cars ever built. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RB30X Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Peter traveled overseas to get those pics, not your local car show in the park As you can see in the pics of the Ferrari replica gated shifter, Peter has gone to a lot of effort to do things properly and you could only experience this from a personal visit.
