    If you encounter them side-by-side, the 599 GTO really is significantly bigger, probably a result of equipment and safety mandates over time

    Oh yes absolutely. You can do the same thing with any car from that period to a modern car. Its almost like the 599 could swallow the 288. I really like the 599 but the 288 is even more special.

    Yes, particularly since the original MSRP was $85K. That's quite a return on an investment!

    The party that sold it purchased it for 7 figures but still made a nice return.

    Motherboards for the 288Gto fuseboards :
    Since I make NEW motherboards for 25-35 year old Ferraris like F40, all mondials, 328, 400i/412, TR, testarossa, 512 (old model boards).
    If an 288Gto owner is in the need for an exellent replacement for the old OEM board please mail me at : [email protected]
    More information about my boards you can find here also :
    http://redbaycars.com/remanufactured/ferrari%20parts.html

    There is also an installation manual (english, french and italian) available at the same site.
    Dont hesitate to ask me for more information !

    Image Unavailable, Please Login As I said, not for everyone........Khyzyl said, "I wanted to make something Loud, Obnoxious, Bright & Vibrant. An aesthetic fit for Japan, Living to offend. :)"
    I simply meant more fluid than this white car. It would have been a better looker than the Evoluzione IMHO.
