    No doubt about it....a scam. Ain't no 250 GTOs in Barrie, Ontario. Even the photo says 'Not Actual Car'.

    This car is supposedly located in the US. The Car Experience in Canada in simply a website for listing high-end cars for sale:

    http://www.thecarexperience.com/

    If you do a search, you will find the car listed for sale here - no mention of price. You have to request a contact phone number through the website.

    Oscar: You and your 275gtb have lived the life many people wish they had. I am sure you have wonderful memories you will never forget driving that car. Thanks for posting.

    It's nice to see a GTO parked next to its younger brother.

    My first thought looking at that pic was wow. The second thought was, has anyone ever done a comparison between the body of the GTO62 and the 275GTB to see which is the more aerodynamically efficient. I always assumed it would be be the newer 275 but looking at that picture I'm not so sure.

    This is the back....Well, I am happy it added something to this thread. God it was cold that week, we drove a few hours later in the snow......And defrost? Problema Gigantica, whatever lever you use the "steaming window" was all over.....And hey ,not because of that.

    It's amazing, but the GTO just looks like a goddess regardless of colour.

    OK; rookie question.
    In etienne's series of photographs, post #157, last picture of red GTO and red car to the right of it. What is that car ?
    Dont believe I've ever seen that.
    Stunning !

    The first time I saw a GTO, it was being driven along San Vicente in Brentwood by its owner Mark Slotkin. It was stunning in red with two orange running lights on the roof. It was like crossing paths with Marilyn Monroe! It makes the similarly styled 275GTB look bloated and overweight by comparison.

    Years later, the situation was reversed. I had acquired the car and was driving down the Sunset Strip when Mark Slotkin saw it and pulled me over to talk.

    about the comparison of the 250 gto and the 275 gtb, I do not agree about the godess of the gto and the rude 275. the back of a gto is very nicely stiled (and also aero dynamics probably better) but f.i. the front screen of a 250 looks hideous compared to the nicely styled 275. Two different cars, but in most aspects the 275 is the modern nephew (suspension/gears/brakes).
    Well this will lead to some discussion...

    Ces photos,Il fallait aller les chercher,c'était pas du gâteau,en deux mots...
    C'est les 25 ans de la GTO,quelqu'un me dis:les GTO sont arrivées chez Pozzi.
    Je file à Levallois,c'est mieux gardé que la banque de France,des gros-bras partout.
    Je ne sais pas comment,je réussis a entrer dans la place.J'ai peu de pellicules,pas de flash,j'assure le minimum et déjà la pile de mon Nikon
    est presque a plat,l'horreur! Et puis je tombe sur Hideki Yoshida qui me dit:je vais au Mas du Clos demain,je peux t'emmener mais je n'ai qu'un pass.
    Banco,je prends le risque.
    Arrivé sur place,l'accès est sévèrement gardé,toujours les gros-bras et un type du club Ferrari France qui supervise.
    Grosse angoisse,me voilà en rase campagne au fin fond de la Creuse,il pleut,et si ça ne passe pas je suis bon pour un retour en auto-stop d'anthologie.
    Le type du club Ferrari me connait de vue sans trop me situer,je lui raconte un roman et ça rentre,ouf (euphémisme).
    Sitôt dans la place je tombe sur quelqu'un qui me dit qu'il doit partir,qui me donne son pass et un tiquet pour le repas (le genre de truc a 1000$ ou plus) Miracolo ! J'ai passé mon tiquet-repas a un Hideki un peu surpris qui a pu aller se taper la cloche et moi j'ai pu faire mes photos tranquille vu qu'ils étaient tous occupés par leurs agapes.
    Pour ce qui est de la première photo,je m'en souviens vingt ans après,j'étais grimpé sur un poteau en ciment,et en équilibre sur un pied je devais faire le cadrage,la mise au point,shooter et ensuite,en tombant,1 ne pas casser l'appareil,2 ne pas casser moi ! C'était sportif.
    Voilà en deux mots l'histoire derrière ces photos.
    Sorry,it's in french.
