Alex Pollock poses with his replica of the 1967 330 P4, of which only 3 were ever built. His replica, purchased in 2007 and built in Michigan, took about 3 years to construct.
The car is for sale, but it ain't cheap (+$100,000) EDIT; $75,000. I can get in contact with Alex Pollock though mutual friends if anyone is interested. He has had some health issues lately and does not get to drive it much. Besides he has a real Porsche 904 which I think he drives more. He did say that the 904 is hotter inside than the P4 though.

Bryon, I don't understand the need for all the Ferrari clothing, replica or real thing they all seem to need it.

Not just Ferrari, but Porsche, Cobra, ect.. Just seems the farther from the core Car, doesn't matter it it is a kit car or a Well Handling Red Headed Step Child model of brand X.. (Use to know a guy with a 359 Kit Car, who always look like this;


While, true, for a time in the 80s, it was a style, but so was doing Coke...
Random pix I took..(going into my 914-6GT clone)..

Kach, the elderly gentleman Sinclair who was sitting next to you is the premier local expert on Franklins. He helped write a beautiful book on them with tons of vintage photos and info. I've got a copy and he has more.

(Sigh)

I knew he was in some of the vintage Franklin photos he had, back when he was a much younger man.

He almost backed his Franklin into my 911, it was a very scary thing to watch him try to control his car. Nice guy, just don't want to be anywhere near him again.
