FERRARI 250 GTO...!!!

Wow - what a picture.
The '62 & '63 GTO is absolutely the most beautiful & magnificent car ever built by anyone.
End of story.
I'm not quite as fond of the '64 though.
Just my opinion.
If money were no object and I could have ANY car in the world - it would be one of the three 4 litre cars.

I've seen this photo before, but never noticed the Breadvan. Was this a GTO get together? Why was the Breadvan included when it is excluded from some other shows?

 

There's more non-GTO's in that pic. The second car from the front is a 330LMB.

Still a rather nice gathering....

25th Anniversary Reunion at Mas du Clos, France in 1987.
Similar to the gathering for the 45th Anniversary at Infineon raceway.

I'd like to be the guy who does a PPI on that car and rejects it because of accident damage..........

 

The most beautiful picture i have ever seen for the GTO....
CONGRATS ABSOLUTLY GORGEOUS!

Would you please send it to me the picture? thanks in advance, if it s not possible i will understand.

It is really unfair and speaks itself for the one of basic society shortcomings, that an human being only needs to have a lot of money to own one of these transport means

 

One of the four liter cars at Spa in 2006 at the Ferrari Days. Its the only real one I have ever seen. I cant recall the serial # though.

s/n 4561SA...

 

One of the GTO's has a LMB body, serial # escapes me at the moment. Still, the Breadvan is a SWB rebodied in period.

 

s/n 4713GT...

 

Here's a few 250 GTO pics from Lime Rock today...

3647GT won overall at Lime Rock today, driven by Sandra McNeil. It was an AWESOME race.

 

As far as I am aware, all the series 1 GTOs had the fuel filler on the same side. What did change sides, however, is the oil filler. It seems always to be on the passenger side, which makes sense because the oil resevoir that it feeds tends to balance the weight of the driver to some degree. If you look closely you can see this demonstrated by the apple green GTO which is RHD in the video at:

Does anyone have - or can anyone point me to - a good hi-res photo of one of the 4 litre cars?
Gotta love that bulge!

Scott

 

I thought they all had the bonnet bulge?

Pete

 

The power bulge on the 4 litre is notably larger than that of the 3 litre cars.

 

Thanks Gents, I'm still a novice anorak.

I don't know if it's real...

 

A scam I fear...

Depends on which 4 liter car. Each one is a different configuration (combination of chassis, number of carbs, etc.) affects the bulge you see. I suspect you're thinking of 4561 which has the very tall, and long, hood bulge.

I know the Buyer of the 250TR, that deal definitely happened. It was a very, very good TR. I'm not sure which GTO deal they're talking about. One definitely sold a bit earlier for a bit more money than that. Another for less. But, hey, what's a few million here or there between friends.
