It's clearly a Ferrari 308 replica of course, but not SPM nor is it based on a Fiero.

Don't think so. The base isn't a Pontiac.

Yes, it is indeed the Custom Design Associates GTF.
It is correct that it's captioned as a Roaring Twenties Stiletto on the website where I found it, but I suppose if you were looking for 308 replicas and found that site then you might naturally assume that is correct!

Well done anyway.

You're more likely to know the answer to that one than I am!
Someone will know...

Post by: Otto Puzzell on November 01, 2012, 11:02:11 AM: I think those are aftermarket wheels; the wheel offset for a RWD Pinto (or Mustang II) is different than the FWD Tempo/Topaz

Post by: sixtee5cuda on November 01, 2012, 11:48:05 AM: Good point about the wheels. I still recall seeing them as original equipment on an American car. Not sure which one though.

They remind of the wheels on an RS Capri. Not exactly the same, but the right number of lugs and spokes.
