Moal Coachbuilders-Ferrari-powered Gatto
Yes please.....
Moal Coachbuilders, the shop that brought us the likes of Tim Allen's one-time Licorice Streak Special, showed up in Monterey with not only that Tool Time-worthy hot rod, but also its new Gatto retro sports car. The bright blue coupe reminds us of something in the vein of an Aston Martin DB4 GT or a Maserati A6 GCS. It's a beautiful shape that looks like it just stepped out of a ten year restoration... but it's brand new. Well, most of it is.
Under the hood resides a very special V12 engine – a 300-horsepower V12 derived from a Ferrari 250 GTO. Don't ask us how that came about, all we know is that the car was created for a wealthy California investment manager, and was built to his specifications. Besides that lustful engine under the bonnet, the Gatto also features a hand-built monocoque chassis, aluminum panels crimped directly onto the subframe to save weight, a Tremac five-speed gearbox, custom Borrani wheels, custom-fitted leather seats and straightforward analog gauges. One of the only modern touches is air conditioning.

Love the exterior, but the interior just doesn't quite fit in my eye.

So it's a gullwing mercedes/AC Bristol/Maserati grille/Shelby Daytona?
It like the exterior but I think the overall car you would have to experience in person to really get it...

Love it! Steve Moal is an amazing fabricator.
For those that don't like the roof, google "Zagato double bubble" roof.Last edited by Challenge It; 08-15-2010 at 04:36 AM.
