This was apparently tooling around.
Now on wikipedia they actually have a list of all the GTO’s current residence and I don’t think I say one in Illinios or even the midwest. Is this just a kit car or did a GTO call IL home once 5 years ago?

Kit car, the proportions are a bit wonky.

The engine doesn’t have the stacks you would expect on a Ferrari 250. I wonder what it’s based on?

Looks like a Nissan S30 or S130-based kit.

Albeit on a 275 GTB/C Speciale, a REAL knock-off Borrani wire wheel, for comparison...

The only reproduction not even experts were able to tell appart from a REAL 250 GTO was made by a late wonderful little Italian Master craftsman, who reproduced them only for owners of REAL cars. So, the REAL one could be preserved while the 100% perfectly reproduced one could be raced. Vintage sanctioning bodies in Europe even supplied his cars with a proper log books.

The real GTO has a more wrap-around windshield.
That looks like a V12 under the hood. Sometimes people make GTO replicas out of other Ferrari models. If that’s what the car you posted is, that looks like a 250 GTE windshield.
But the gauge binnacle on the car you posted doesn’t match the GTE, so I dunno what exactly is going on here.
