    I always think talking value tends to muddy threads to a certain extent but in your experience would one owner cars command a premium, assuming they are well maintained?

    58329 is the ex Lauda GTO and surely the most prominent one.

    USA DOT side-markers in the body gaps, USA DOT bumper covering the rear width of the car, as a result the plate has been affixed to the rear panel.

    A bit of automotive vandalism.

    Some smart Silicon Valley kid should finally invent a software that automatically refuses/prevents posting photoshopped pix or pix of replicas.

    Similar software is already in place.

    It can be deployed by a moderator simply pressing a button to execute a perm-ban upon people who consistently troll upon these resource threads by posting CGIs (computer gernerated images), photoshopped images, and Google-sourced random images with no information or context.

    Candidate number one would be FerrariFR33458 https://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/threads/ferrari-288-gto.164148/page-546 whose post content reveals that his posts offer absolutely no informative or resource value whatsoever, and in fact only serve to diminish the content value of the threads he participates in.

    Meanwhile, here's a real 288 GTO that needs no introduction based on it's EE plate, 56653 originally supplied to Word F1 Driving Champion Keke Rosberg, now based in California and owned by FChatter Shiv S.

    Joe can you forward the ban request to a moderator ?

    56653 is resident in Texas with the co-owner, though she does appear regularly for events and service in CA.

    I have actually done this several times without a response yet, meanwhile everyone who agrees with me should send a ban request to the moderator and also hit the report button to the bottom left of al of the images posted by FerrariFR33458 which meet the aforementioned description.

    Thank you for the clarification on 56653.

    Here's the same car (52729) a bit earlier.
    That's why one should always do the homework.

    There is no bad angle on a 288 GTO. Was going through Octane magazines, found your brilliant 288 GTO article, might be one of the best written about them because the prose and photographs really do the beauty of the car justice. My only GTO experience was around 20 minutes in the passenger seat of one but even that was enough to leave me in awe.

    Friend of mine owns one which he keeps in Europe, due to draconian regulations re LHD cars its not possible to keep in SA, he describes it as an amazing mountain pass car.

    I have to say, I'm not one for a non red Ferrari Super Car, but this white GTO actually looks good.
