Still... 'let's disassemble a Ferrari to build something which looks like a Ferrari but isn't a Ferrari' makes no sense in .ar.

Depends on the individual point of view. Apparently it made sense for the car's creator

If the builder started with a wrecked (destroyed) Ferrari, it could have sense. I think, maybe it was cheaper created something different than restored it
-
Considering the situation, and the fact that it's front-engined, I think the builder most likely started with something like this, then did what a lot of people do and said his car had a "Ferrari" engine.
-
Carlos Guerra, start with a Fiat 125, bespoke tubular chassis. No Ferrari involved

He should have stuck to the Fiat for 26 more years instead...
