Does anyone remember the company in Texas that made a stretched Testarossa replica? I can't seem to find any information on-line, but remember form the old kit car magazines...

Yes.

I finished one several years ago.

It came out of Texas, there were only about a dozen bodies made before Ferrari's lawyers shut them down.

Thanks for the picture, it looks close to the one I recently bought. I'm just trying to find out what the name of the company was. Not trying to purchase.

The owner of the car and I were never able to find out the name of the manufacturer of the body.

Thanks...

I think I found it. If it had metal/aluminum side strakes is was probably made by Fiero Conversions Inc, out of Windsor Canada. Found it in an old “The BIG Guide to Fiero Kits & Parts”

The strakes were aluminum.

Thank you so much for the information!

There was more than one. I remember some lines were awful and some more convincing. Stretched and non stretched kits i remember one non stretched looked odd but nice.
