It seems that s/n 3673 SA was not built in
time to have been at the Nuerburgring. Some sources
therefore argue that the Nuerburgring GTO must have been 3765LM.
But the Nuerburgring GTO and the Le Mans GTO had physical
body differences:
-
- The Le
Mans GTO had/has a deeper bonnet bulge and two
additional D-shaped
engine bay air outlets on the cowl.
The Nuerburgring GTO had small indicator lights directly
under the
headlights, the Le Mans GTO indicator lights alongside.
Why should Ferrari
have changed the position of the indicator lights in one
month on one and
the same car ???
For me there is no reason to do so and the Nuerburgring
GTO was not damaged
at the front to make a rebuilt necessary.
It's very obvious, that 3673SA was built in time for the
Nuerburgring race
and that it competed there and not 3765LM. Notice the
chassisnumber "3765
LM", obviously built especially for the Le Mans
race.
The late completion date can be explained easily. 3673SA
was damaged heavily
in testing after the Nuerburgring race and the GTO was
rebuilt and - even more
important - rebodied with a SWB body. This job was
completed in November 1962 !

"The body shape is incorrect as it has a 1960 body with curved top to door
glass and fuel filler in corner of boot lid,
whilst the original SWB body on 3673 was a 1961
onwards body with straighter edge to door glass
and fuel filler under a flap on the rear wing" |
