    That definately looks like a Ferrari Though it doesnt have the usually very prominent badge. Perhaps a replica or something ?

    EDIT:

    I was beaten

    Now that we know what it is, it looks like a 275 GTS rip-off.

    It should be noted however that Apollo appeared 3 years earlier than the 275 GTS (1961 vs. 1964)

    It was designed by Franco Scaglione, also famous for the 350 GTV prototype Lambo.

    You mean the Convertible version? Because from what I've heard the Apollo was designed by two American automotive design students, the guys that produced the first 48 cars.

    Might I suggest merging this thread with that one?: http://www.ultimatecarpage.com/forum...ead.php?t=4753

    Body designed by Scaglione, based on sketches made by Ron Plescia...

    Ah, so they only made the initial sketches and got Scaglione to do the real job

    The Scaglione 350 GTV design was later perfected by Touring, wasn't it? Or was it the other way round? Or am I just completely wrong?

    You're right The 350 GTV was redesigned by Carrozzeria Touring to become the production model 350 GT.

    Yes it does scream Ferrari dosen't it. Well FYI it has Ferrari tail lights, front bullet lights and door handle's. I remember one time at Laguna Seca in the late 60's there was a owner of a 250GT SWB that almost mistakenly got into the wrong car as my dad's car was parked next to it.
