Is that great garage art, or what??

Honestly that's just expensive scrap metal. It'd cost a fortune to return to drivable, and it'd still be no better then a tribute car.

All the hard work is done, just needs the A/C charged.

I had a friend who was a musician within that '60s Sunset Strip scene.  He said Gene Clark of the Byrds had one of these, and every day he'd race down the hill from his house in Laurel Canyon to Sunset and you could hear him coming.

What would be the options a person would have in turning that car into some form of a vintage race car. If you cut out the bottom and placed it on a new tubular chassis, and fabricated floors and everything else it needed. Just to get a body shell complete. Is there a form of racing you could do with a newer Ferrari engine and transmission? Something like that would be a good use of the car. No need for everything that it is missing.

You could drop a couple 100K on it and have a Ferrari Club track day car I guess...but there are probably cheaper and better ways to do that.
