Again no. When I said "yes" to Scandinavia, I was using the looser definition of the entity...

"Ferrari 308 replica" with a Falcon Devil body made by Euran Lasikuidulla. Based on a 1986 VW, but car year is advertised as 1974. Doesn't make sense at all !
The car was apparently overhauled in 2014.

You found it. My understanding from various versions I have read of the same ad on several sites is that the base VW was from '74 and that the Falcon Devil glassfibre body was applied in '86, which is apparently the last year that Euran Lasikuitu produced the kit.
Another point for you!

Hehe I think that's just wishful thinking on the part of the owner, trying to sell it as something it patently is not...
