I thought I was the only one up at this hour. (Of course, it's three hours earlier here.) Gerald L.

Originally rosso corsa with black interior, had no air conditioning and manual windows. Later modified by the factory with a/c and p/w, and was then repainted yellow (I am not sure if the repaint was done by Ferrari or not). In 1989 Marcel Massini reported that this was, at that time, one of only three 288 GTOs that were not rosso corsa--the other two had been repainted silver-gray metallic.

The car could be a repainted red one, or it could be a prototype. Anyone?

(You are could be right as all PRODUCTION 288GTO's were red) This is a proto-type, not one of the regular production cars.... Gerald, I know we have discussed this car, but is there any info as to its color pedigree?

ALL production 288 GTO's are Red (and left-hand drive). Agree though...it is beautiful. arthur chambers (Art355) Intermediate Member Username: Art355 Post Number: 1981 Registered: 6-2001 Posted on Monday, June 30, 2003 - 6:25 pm:    I thought they were all red from the Factory, this must be a re-paint, but boy is it pretty.
