Ferrari 250GT PF SERIE 2 WITH INSIDE PLUG ENGINE

[250GT]

Question about" matching" number car on ebay
All outside signs of this car are: serie 2 PF-COUPE, but it has INSIDEPLUG engine possible ?
Motor number wears the correct signs IMO.
This cannot be correct.
I am not able to take the fotos off ebay side
Here the link with the deadbody for about asking price ( at gullwing NY) 130K , a bargain.

I always thought i knew something about pre 1960 F-cars.

I agree, the motor number stamping looks correct. Here are a couple of pictures to show what Cornelis is talking about.

Here's an example from another engine.

What I notice is that the block where the 1565GT is stamped doesn't look as high, nor do I see any sign of the internal motor number (58F on the 1637GT picture).

Raab lists 1565 as having one of the last 128D motors. The first PF Coupe w/ tipo 128F is 1529. The 128D to 128F transition happens between 1529 and 1569, which is the last 128D motor in a PF Coupe.

Thanks Brian,
That could be the explanation
I do know 1557GT PF coupe this is an outside plug serie 2 example 128F engine , so I was confused that a LATER engine could have inside plugs !
Did not look at Raabs.
