FERRARI 288 GTO

The car was sold some years ago, I think about 3 years? I don't know where it was sold to, but I think it's still in Germany.

 

Wow Denis thanks for that trip down memory lane!

 

Yes, and s/n 53755 has the red seat inserts....

 

Noted, thanks Marcello!

 

Hi Joe,

One question about 288 : I have already seen cars with only two exhausts instead of regular four. As far as I remember, 54799 was like this, even if I am not sure, I cannot find pics from the rear.
Do you know if it was done in the factory, or aftermarket ?
How many cars had those 2 exhausts ?

Here is a pic of a car, I suppose, a french one, found on internet.

Thanks for that. It is Walter Wolf's former car.

 

As seen in a north suburban Chicago car show about 2 weeks ago. Don't have any info on the car but it was stunning.

Very nice. The color-coded bumpers aren't for me, but they seem to work...

 

Is this guy in the first picture trying to kick the tire?!!!!!

 

That was the owner of the car. He had his foot resting on the tire and I took the shot as he pulled his foot away.

Here's another shot...

Vehicle Description
NOT FOR SALE IN CALIFORNIA. The first Ferrari Supercar and the rarest one! Twin turbo V8 power fury...true 80's style Supercar...scary, crude, mean, fast and perfect! A truly special, rare and collectible Ferrari. Only 272 made. Odometer is in kilometers. Inquire for details.

I was just wondering what it takes to register a car like that in California?

 

It would need to be made to conform to California BAR to register it here, a not inconsiderable undertaking.

 

Hey Joe,

I recently saw this 288 in Illinois. It had painted bumpers. The car has an Indiana plate. I didn't get a chance to see the Serial No. but I got a few pics.

Any info?
Thanks,
Dan
