    Excellent photography! For a car that is 33 years old, the body panels look like they were just pressed and the paint glows like it was new last week.:)

    Thank you, this GTO is a good one, and it drives like it looks.

    When my son was taking the images it began to drizzle for a short while, which you can see on the rear-panel with GTO badge image.

    Meanwhile, this GTO is actually receiving a concours-level detail as we speak, and we'll post some after shots next week

    Thanks for posting. Nice large pictures. How do you do this? Is it because you're a sponsor? Or am I missing an option in uploading files? Thanks.

    I meant the large size. I thought the size was limited to 800x800?

    288GTO vs F40 vs F50

    Apparently Azzuro Dino’s prefers the GTO. I guess I’m not the only one. :)

    I'm not too surprised as I have heard several clients who own the Ferrari Supercar Series of 288 GTO/F40/F50/Enzo say the 288 GTO is the last car that they would sell. Ironic that, as it is the first of that Ferrari Supercar Series and always will be, and was the only one borne specifically out of Motorsport intent. Add that to the fact that it was Green-lighted by Enzo Ferrari himself, and is both the rarest and sexiest of the Series, and you might understand why it is the one.

    Looking around the current market, the 288s seem to be getting rarer and rarer to find as well to add to Joe's statement. I've searched a couple public markets in the US, UK, & Germany online and only 1 popped up compared to a small selection of F50s and handful F40s.
