Looks great in the 3rd, 5th, and 7th pictures - especially the maroon! No shade of blue can do this car justice, and pumpkin orange is questionable. Now, I always personally thought the GTO would look great in silver. Can you do that?
In fact, there were I believe two GTOs painted silver for real, but haven"t seen pictures of them. If anyone here would have some? Best Jurgen
My notes say 54226 (87th GTO) & 56333 (185th GTO) were both owned by Sam Bardor when new and painted silver (Ferrari of Houston?). Bardor had a fetish about painting his Ferraris silver. The silver GTOs are featured variously at the early stages of this thread. Both have been 'rescued' and returned to red, and both remain in the USA with seperate owners (in the South and in the North-East), as of earlier this year.
One attendee at the RM London auction suggested to me that the car there was very poorly presented which agrees with Marcel's assessment. Is this the same car? Image Unavailable, Please Login
No. That (B656 KNH) is # 57713. (ex Abba Kogan). Sold new to New York. It was sold at last years RM Auction at Battersea Park, London (31/10/07). Paul

This works the other way, of course, leading to US vendors holding firm on dollar-based reserves that, despite strong bidding, stopped the sale of the highly fancied 1985 Ferrari 288 GTO, for example. It reached £325,000 (£357,500 with buyers premium) a good UK retail selling price.' Gr. Martin
