Indeed.

But would you find it even more interesting to know the original body was styled after a car that was ten years old at the time?

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the 1961 Ferrari 250 Berlinetta Lusso:

I used to have that as a 24x36" poster, framed, on my wall. People mistook it for a Vega on a regular basis. The 3L V12 had much better performance than Cosworth's 4 cyl. :D

It's one of my favorite Ferraris.
