That's my GTO upstairs!
That must have been when it was having its major service recently.
Drove it today actually back to back with the scud - sublime.

 

I recognize those tailpipes.

 

You lucky man. Enjoy in the best of health.

You wait all day for a GTO then two come along together ...

Thanks for sharing!

Saw this one at the 2015 Celebration Exotic Car Festival in Celebration FL

It was displayed with the other three Ferrari supercars which are all part of an incredible private collection
that includes a NART Spyder, 410 Superamerica and the Bugatti Veyron Sang Bleu.

Just a really "wow" picture!

 

Excellent images as always! If you have any more of that GTO, please post.

 

Thanks

Unfortunately the cars were parked in their spot the night before the show so I was unable to catch them being driven in as I like to do. I had access behind the barrier and the handler said he was going to open them all up after judging and I was welcome to take some interior shots if I wanted. For whatever reason he decided not to open them up and I didn't press him to just so I could take pics. I try and stay after the show to catch the cars driving off but he told me was going to wait long after to the point where everyone was gone before he drove them to the hauler and I didn't have the time to wait that long.

These are the only pics of the 288 GTO i ended up getting. I will say that everyone I've talked to that have presented the four Ferrari supercars have done the same thing, they point to the 288 GTO and say " that one is crazy fast "

I promise I'll do better at the next opportunity.

A well-tuned 288 GTO feels crazy fast because its so light, compared to the later cars.

Bill S weighed mine and I think it was 2,750 lbs or something, and that was with fluids & 1/2 a tank of gas!

Add Megaphone pipes and its quite a riot.

Thank you for sharing!

Phenomenal photography, as usual!

Here are a few more, although not nearly as good.

Thanks Wade!

 

51st birthday present for me (July 4th) would be a ride in the local 288 GTO. Can you help Joe? Sorry guys I am being self serving.

 

We'll make it happen sooner or later.

 

Thanks Joe.

Back on topic the 288 GTO is simply mesmerizing, stops one in his/her tracks. Excuse me while I dust off my framed poster from the '80s and give it a hug, I just digressed didn't I?

Whats a good 288 worth? 3mm?

 

Last auction result was $2.75m, and a couple of private sales have happened since at $2.5m to $3m.

The future? Who knows.

 

the car looking for 3M is being shown to a lot of people....I passed on it but if I was a die hard 288 guy id prob pay the money for it.
