This is sounding like a publicity stunt more than a real crime thing.... http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/29/counterfeit-ferrari-ring-busted-in-rome/ - http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/29/counterfeit-ferrari-ring- busted-in-rome/ -------------  Beken (aka Ken) - bekentech@westcoastfieros.com Original and still the owner of an 85SE 2M6 4spd |

Yeah it seems like it, though I'm sure most people knew it was a fake. Most people that would drop 30G's on a car know enough to know a Ferrari from a Fiero. I can just see it now.. "What? I didn't know a V8 was a factory option." "Yeah, this is the toned down, slower version. Very limited, very rare." "Custom Fiero interior in my Ferrari! Sweet! I'll take it!" These are some more links about it. http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do/News/articleId=124968 http://online.wsj.com/public/article/SB120415357135797887-02 8E3EAihp_Rr_YrDQlk_WymvkM_20090227.html?mod=rss_free http://www.wikio.com/news/Ferraris http://www.styleforum.net/showthread.php?p=918048 |
