    This one was restored in Anderson, SC by Warren Wolfe. I doubt anyone here will know him as he works primarily behind the scenes for other restoration companies, although he is available for direct work. One man shop who is a perfectionist, best metal and paint man I've seen. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login

    Is there going to be a celebration for the 60 years of the GTO(like what they did in 2012)?

    You mean the GTO anniversary in September 2017 in Florence (use the search function on top right and you will find plenty of pix).
    As for the next anniversary I suggest you wait until at least 2022.

    Were the last 2 GTO to sell the one to Florida (Workman) and to Illinois (MacNeil)?

    No idea that there was someone doing this level of work in that area. I have been into the surrounding area multiple times over the last couple of years. Currently have a court case filed in Anderson.

    Cesare Bergamini who is Giancarlo's brother. Picture taken at Bonini Ferrari Service 5 years ago when 4491 was being restored.

    I don't have that book. Can you tell from the pics if 4491 has the 3 air vent snorkels or the compartment for the air vents on the middle top of the dash, as other 250 GTOs have? See pic of 3767 below.

    Thanks, Boudewijn. Looks like 4491 does not have the snorkels or any vents on top of the dash, as other 250 GTOs have. If so how does 4491 get air into the cabin and/or to demist the screen, if that is what those snorkels are for?
