In a poultry shed in Oamaru, New Zealand, among the ducks and chickens, Rod Tempero and his crew built a stunning 1962 Ferrari GTO replica. Watch this.

In auto racing back in the day, it was understood that amazing mechanics came from the other side of the world, in New Zealand. Here were guys who could stoop down on the curb and simply make a piston or a fender or an axle from scratch, because that’s how they’d done it back home every day, thousands of miles from the commercial motorsports industry. They had special powers with hand tools; there was almost nothing they couldn’t do.

Those skills are evident today in the work of car builder Rod Tempero and his small staff, who create beautiful, functional replicas of legendary sports cars—D-Type Jaguar, Ferrari P4, Maserati A6GS—in a barn in Oamuru, New Zealand. (The son of noted builder Erroll Tempero, Rod Tempero also offers complete restoration services. Visit the website here.) The build shown here is an authentic tribute to the 1962 Ferrari GTO, and the video does a fine job of expressing not just the skill, but the passion and commitment required to pull off such a project.
