competent suspension and offers the possibility of some truly hellacious go fast motoring.

#01 Modena Built by Mark Goyette Mr. Goyette confirmed this is the actual #01 (aka. prototype)
Factory Built at Modena Design, El Cajon
(one of seven)
In the early 1980s California entrepreneurs Neil Glassmoyer and Mark Goyett founded Modena Design and Development in El Cajon to manufacture the Modena Spyder California, a Ferrari 250 GT Spyder-based sports car that far exceeded the quality and finish of other independent offerings of the time. An early mention of the new creation in Car and Driver magazine drew the attention of Hollywood director John Hughes, who was in the planning stages of making Ferris Bueller's Day Off, in which a Modena Design sports car would have a pivotal role.
Based on the prototype Spyder California design by Scaglietti, the Modena incorporated the original's steeply raked windshield, inset front turn signals, deep horizontal front grille, prominent hood scoop, front fender vents and sweeping profile. Beneath the fiberglass skin was a very sturdy rectangular steel tube frame designed by the late Bob Webb, an accomplished Indy car fabricator who worked on Brooks Stevens' 1952 Excalibur race cars and later on Roger Penske's all-conquering Zerex Special. Mounting independent front suspension and a solid rear axle with 4-link attachments, a Panhard rod and Torsion bars, Webb's chassis was described by Car and Driver as remarkably rigid, more so in fact than the real 1961 Ferrari.

Today this Modena Spyder California (number 01 built) is without question
the best investment grade Modena on the Market!
balanced and blueprinted 351 V-8 bored out to 427 CI . The resulting 500+ horsepower launches the 2, 650-lb Modena in exhilarating fashion while being kept under control by a refined suspension -- comprising independent front A-arms, variable ratio power rack and pinion steering, a 4-link live rear with Panhard rod -- disc brakes all around.
