Hi, can anyone please tell me what this panel/flap on the GTO is? Noticed it on my Kyosho 1:18 model today and am curious to know. Circled in the following image: http://img91.imageshack.us/img91/8901/sn33872uc6.jpg
Oil fill access cap/tube assembly for dry-sump tank. A former un-named owner of one of our old GTO's almost put gas in his many a year ago. Not sure how or why he could not find the fuel fill cap three feet away on the other side of the car!!! He said it was because he never drove the car and no one told him where to put the gas in! Cheers, Bill
The three foot long dip stick should have given him pause, assuming he found a coin with which to open the Dzus fastener.
Ferrari 250 GTO sells for a record $70 million - the highest price ever paid for a classic car. The Ferrari in question, serial number 4153 GT, is one of the most celebrated of the 39 250 GTOs produced, and one of the best three or four in existence. It’s also highly distinctive in its silver and yellow livery rather than the more usual red, and was the subject of a high-quality book published last year by Porter Press. https://www.autoclassics.com/posts/news/ferrari-250-gto-sells-record-70million
No longer has yellow stripe. Now has red, white and blue stripe down the centre of car. There were also 36 250 GTOs.
Christian Glaesel from Germany was the seller and David MacNeil from Illinois, US the buyer. The article does state: "The record-priced car is thought to have been sold by Christian Glaesel to an American collector."

Yes, I also heard they were involved in the sale of Christian Glaesel's GTO with David Gooding representing Mr MacNeil.

In 1974, a 250 GTO changed hands for $28,000, or £12,450 in proper money at that time. Also in 1974, I bought a small flat in London, for £16,500. There is a similar flat in the same block currently for sale for £660,000, i.e. $880,000. And the moral of the story is . . .
The whole world (including this thread) seems to have picked up Marcel's comments from the original thread here !
That's what it says here, too: http://www.barchetta.cc/english/All.Ferraris/Detail/4153GT.250GTO.htm "18/may - ................, IL, USA $nn,000,000 via Hueni and Gooding"
And then we are talking about the AC Shelby Cobra Daytona #CSX2300 owned by the Gläsel Trust.... How much is this worth in this GaGa days?
The Cobra Daytona was recently driven in the Tour Auto by one family member. Does not look as it it is in the selling list. Family was also racing GTA very successfully as well. Of course different from driving GTO 2 Times in Tour Auto recently. Unfortunately there will be less and less very valuable cars at such events.
Pierre, I did not say that the AC Cobra Daytona is "...in the selling list..."! I only asked about the value of such a car today. Nuttin`mo`....
