When I was a kid I met Rod and got a tour of his shop. Rod had an old truck from WW2(?) that he took us around Oamaru in. Really genuine guy, was amazing to see all the projects he had on the go at the time. Especially the XJ13
John, Its appreciative, passionate not to mention patient people like yourself that make small artisan shops like this possible. Congratulations to Rod and his team, and of course yourself on this fine auto. cheers from Canada
If,I had the money( they didn't say actual cost,only worth a million dollars,but I'm guessing that's probably the price for one) any way,if I had the money,there are two replicas I would love to have from him: 1964 Ferrari GTO,series II body and 1964 Ferrari 330/P4. Same engine for the GTO but I'm still hunting that a complete drive line from a Testarissa or Boxer from the 80's,with side draft Webbers,might be ideal for the P4. Stunningly beautiful work .
1962 Ferrari GTO - Rod Tempero motor body builder based in Oamaru, New Zealand created this awesome 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO Replica. Watch the incredible journey of this car being built from scratch.
It looks almost like the real thing, but I can see a middlepoint between the 250 GTO and the 275 GTB where the curve of the front fenders starts too late towards the driver. But it's a beautiful car and credits should be given when it's deserved, but a trained eye for these kind of things will always spot the difference 😅
@@spectrospirit I noticed the same thing and the side window is not correct. There are other places where the proportions are off; as an artist and longtime admirer of the 250 GTO, these differences are impossible to not see. This is an excellent showing of the 250 GTO's lines and proportions: ruclips.net/video/VQ4ehQd4VLM/видео.html But oh, the sound of that lovely 12.
Your one of the luckiest men on earth mate. That’s been my dream car since I was 5 or 6. Just hearing you go through the gears I feel the passion you felt. That engine is the pinnacle of how a car should sound from that era. If you ever bring it to Australia I’d love to see it at a show.
I wish there were far more of this type of car on the roads - and don’t know why professional builds like this aren’t more popular choices for people who buy fun cars. However… they don’t need or deserve Ferrari badges. If I was lucky enough to own one of these I’d have a badge on the back that reads ‘replica’ in the Ferrari typeface.
+Blade Cutter & put 10k miles on Her.

I personally find the 330 LMB to be prettier. It's basically a 250 Lusso body with the GTO nose and a 330 engine. Yes, the GTO is the one with the race history and the kudos, but I just prefer the look. No idea how they compare aerodynamically.
He builds them the way Enzo built them back in the day. Entirely by hand! High performance works of art they are. I hope to soon commission him to build me a 1964 GTO series II
Beautiful work. One of my all time favourite cars. 250 GTO, GT40 and E-type are my three top I think. This actually became illegal in 2019. Ferrari are the only ones that can make replicas of the 250 GTO now.
There are two cars I would want him to make for me... A 1962 Ferrari 250 gto series 1 and a 1963 Apollo 3500 gt (avid Disney fans will know the gt played Peter Thorndykes car 'the Thorndyke special' in the very first herbie movie 'herbie the love bug)
Why pay £35 million when you can just build 1. if I saw this in real life and wasn’t told this was a replica I would fully believe it’s original, I have respect for this replica rebuild
I would think that if you buy enough original parts from the original suppliers you can build a close replica that looks good , probably makes very few parts on their own .I can buy everything I need to build a jaguar e-type in my garage at home and you can't tell it from an original , it's not hard to do.
William Seroyer So you dont think the name, prestige etc Ferrari have spent billions of dollars on creating thru many years of race car design is "free" for anyone to use ? They have created the "allure" of Ferrari & quite rightly charge what they want for their product. Even though this workmanship is exceptional, they are still "stealing" money off someone elses hard work & billions of dollars creating Ferrari. Why dont we just make some computer program & call it "microsoft" ?
+TheSpacefanric he basically takes an existing not so valuable Ferrari strips out the mechanicals and rebuilds them into a replica GTO body, it's still a Ferrari and registered as one. Same with his d-types takes an old jag and rebuilds it's mechanicals into a d-type body. They aren't cheap and are said to be better made than the originals.
+Robert Cumming thanks for that info. dont think its mentioned that its built on an existing ferrari. i think this is an unbelievable looking machine but was wondering how he got around copyright - now you've explained it ! i actually want to do this to an old fiat spider - bit cheaper, try make something like they did for ferris beullers day off. cheers & thanks
del00ze Every gto is a little different. When they have outings "the original ones" have slight variations. They were built like this[handmade]. So maybe you shouldn't talk about stuff you don't have a clue about. Bung wholly oooh
@@nihlhinz488 mate the shape is wrong. It is very obvious. And while the original was hand built, they were built on wooden buck, so the differences were things like number of cooling slots, rear spoiler riveted on or welded
@@HROM1908 why praise? A 100% real Ferrari was ruined for this inaccurate replica. I thought this sort of historic cars are just for profit BS stopped in the 1980s
Does anyone know what he started with? The claim is that he makes replicas from scratch, yet he has an original engine? also you don't take an original Ferrari worth $10m + and rebuild it into a replica worth $1m +, An original car will always be the ultimate and most desirable/valuable
Various people around the world are building GTO replicas based on the 250 GTE, which is far less valuable than the GTO..... It would be nice if someone is building new 250 engines
It's a shame that it's so mis-proportioned in comparison to an original after so much time and money was put into it. I would be absolutely incensed if I was the client.
4:53....... Look at that horrible paint job........... Really bad...... And then they say this car is as good as, if not better than the original. If your intentions were to insult Ferrari....you succeeded ! Okay, Ferraris may not be perfect, but they are not this bad, either. (And yes....I have seen MANY Ferraris in my life, many of them still with their original paint finish. Therefor I know what those guys are capable of !!!!)

I wonder if this gentleman has any idea how all of us in the automotive community are in complete awe of his talent. Unbelievable.
Rod is a bonafide Ferrari manufacturing artistic genius.
That is the most impressive work I have seen, absolute craftsman and the detail is exceptional.
It's a dream factory.
This gentleman is a genius. What an artistic individual. My hat is off to you mate.
I have the highest regard for master craftsman. Rod, your an artist.
Amaizing ! This is not a copy,its a peace of art!
Absolutely gorgeous replica...Bravo gentlemen,bravo!

wow that's awesome I'd like to learn that type of craftsman ship though. does he teach it ?
Not sure. Its a family trade and at the time he did have staff that he had taught but I think they worked there long term
Awesome! Best authentic quality-replica I´ve ever seen.
Regardless, this gentleman is making piece of art.🎉
Stunning, what a masterpiece in such an incredibly beautiful landscape.
My absolute number one dream car!

Joy to see a craftsman at work.
Truly, truly awe inspiring.

I love it if I ever win the lotto I would buy one of his cars absolutely fantastic. Very cleaver man
Na mate, put the cleaver down and come quietly
I thought this was about a car. Instead I got the creation on a piece of art. I am amazed. at the workmanship. Good onya mate it’s beautiful👍👍🇦🇺🇦🇺
Incredible workmanship!
I'm pretty sure even if it is not the real thing, this repro did cost a few Millions USD. Undeniably the best in the whole world.
That's is just so cool. Makes me proud to be a kiwi
Wow beautiful it brought tears to my eyes. I never own one in my life time but just to see this art work come together was a dream.

I HAVE SEEN THIS CAR, IN THE FLEASH. AND ITS BETTER THAN A FACTORY FERRARI 250 G.T.O.
Incroyable.
I want someone to build a kit like they do for the Dayton
Piece of art✌
Excellence...my aspiration...
truly amazing
Speechless.
Can I order one of those ….ill wait all the time you want !!!beauty
What a hero
Genuis
Amazing！！
Jesus...Hands down !!
PROUD that he is a NEW ZEALANDER
that's the KIWIS for you,
Is he still making this car these days?
Anche FERRARI ha iniziato così tra galline e anitre.Saluti
:-) 0:44 0:49 - great shots!
Magnifique !!!
Amazing
Nice bodywork. Wonder who makes the engine, transmission and all of that.
Wow. Beyond any epic comment. Question though - Where did the Colombo engine block come from? I always wonder with these replicas.
There are two cars I would want him to make for me...
A 1962 Ferrari 250 gto series 1 and a 1963 Apollo 3500 gt (avid Disney fans will know the gt played Peter Thorndykes car 'the Thorndyke special' in the very first herbie movie 'herbie the love bug)
It'll be better than an original. They were notoriously Rough . I've heard of Rod before . Cheers from New Zealand. Cambridge
hope he will produce the Aston Martin DB4 GT Light Weight....looking forward
DB4 GT Zagato is much more elegant
where do you source the engines and drivetrains? truly remarkable work!
The Ferrari legal team, I would bet get a judgement to have the masterpiece destroyed. On the other hand may congratulate him for the masterpiece.
What a beauty... What's the drivetrain?
I have a 1/18 high end model of this car by kiosho and its really a beautiful car!
Engine ?
Any left for purchase ?
How do you insure it? Or how do you put a licence plate on it?
I believe these have. Correct sixties motors. And if the motor was Built-in 1965 then it becomes a 65 . believe you get this registered in California
It's a mid '60s Ferrari 330 GTE chassis with a new body on it which looks rather like a 250 GTO. It's still a '60s Ferrari for registration purposes.
So have Ferraris' lawyers descended yet with a cease and desist then destroy charge? They're pretty touchy about their trademark/logo/likeness, etc.
nice car. noticed it almost has zero suspension travel. must be a very harsh ride
+TheCynicalAfro 101 Well it is a purpose built race car - it was built for fast lap times, not comfort.
@@franklemire1789 the real one had suspension travel
Now the 250GTO is worth over $60.000.000 U.S.D.
Oh dear.
What type of the engine?
Can someone please get me contact details for this gentleman.

Why pay £35 million when you can just build 1.

Build molds and scale up, so more can enjoy them.
How can I contact them?
Price ??
Would like to know what Ferrari thinks about these replicas...quite probably far from happy.
Mega bucks I bet
