Yes!

Alrighty! Time to shut this battle zone down!

Is it a Tipo 151?

No, that's not the answer so you need to keep looking.  I'm in the USA until the week after next without my files though so may not be able to give you a definitive answer until I get back.

Wow, this is the rookie section yet you sure don't go easy on these challenges!  :P

I was like 300% SURE it was gonna be a Tipo, a friend had pointed it out to me once in a discussion about Maserati...until I made the recent connection it was only dressed up to look like the Tipo!

Final answer be the 3500 GT. One heck of a barn find

Yes, it's a 1961 3500GT-based sort of replica of a 151 with a Mexico engine.
The owner hints that it was made by Drogo but I doubt that so I didn't make it part of the question.
Normally I would ask for the name of the builder and what engine powers it - life isn't easy on AutoPuzzles!
So you earn your first point!

It looks more like the 1957 450S coupe designed by Frank Costin and ruined by Zagato.

I must be right - that's what it says on Wikipedia

Yes, it does seem to be the same car.
So maybe my puzzle car isn't a later replica?  I don't know..
