1012 GT 40 Scandal

[Gordon Levy]

The story was told to be many years ago. some of the details may be off, but this is what I remember from the story.
As I understand the story of this paticular car it was a car that was crashed in testing at Daytona.
A person bought the wreck as well as a new tub, all the supension and spares that were for this paticular car. A new tub was used as the original tub was in to bad a condition to be reused. The original tub turned into basically a planter at his house. After several years his wife asked him to get rid of it and he gave it to a friend. It passed through several people and ended up in England. A new 1012 was build from a very small section of the original tub with reproduction parts. The original owner sold his 1012 quite a few years ago. Not long after the second one appeared.
I guess it is up to those involved as to which one is original. The one rebuild with original parts or the one built off a small section of tub.
