So Lash, does this mean the F-project is gone, the 5-S stays AND you now have an awesome yellow GT5? If so, welcome to the Multi-DeTomaso sub-group.

Italian (hinted at as a F-car)

80's

Supercharged from the factory??

I am stumped.

As he mentioned, it is another handbuilt Italian car. It is also one of 20 or so with a factory supercharger. The manufacturer's record keeping was not optimal like most small companies of the era so we are not sure of the exact number. Either way, it is extremely rare.

Oooh, I know what it is... The one I saw when I visited you last Summer? With the original sales brochure you showed me too? Nice!

Hint: Not a LaFerrari, but another that starts with the same prefix. (If my guess is right)

I'm thinking Italia/Omega or Iso. Guess we'll find out soon enough.

Cool that this board helped with the trade.

I misread the original hints. Now I am betting the trade involved a LaForza. A factory supercharged model hand made in Italy.

If that is the car, it isn't a hand built Italian supercharged car but a 67' Shelby.

Glad he is up and about.
