see chart at bottom.

$83,400.

 

I'm not sure the Sports Car Market price is accurate. I purchased mine used from the original owner who claimed the original MSRP was $87K and change. But, this could be because he lived in Southern California and there was a difference in cars destined for the USA. Yes, I know, none where USA legal, but that didn't stop a boat load them being purchased by USA residents.

wow, I remember walking into Walnut Creek Ferrari and they had 2 F-40's there brand new I asked how much and he said $550K each, i replyed take a mil for both? he emphatically said no. I couldnt afford the tax back then but he didnt know that.

If you look at it from an investment stand point the 288 was a great play and the F-40 sucks I wouldnt pay $550K for a new F-40 now.

 

We sold several and I know they were 85 or less. That was FOB Maranello.
We had a service client that had a friend at the factory and bought his factory direct for dealer cost and was offered 5 the day he picked his up. Nobody wanted them. I wasn't for a few months that they really took off.

 

Man, 80k for that car...if only ???? DAMN !!!

 

That´s a lot of money for 100k more you can buy a Michelotto F40 or a F50

 

And you're lucky you didn't give nims Dillon ANY money.He screwed
many guys and the State california.

 

By 1985 things had changed for Ferrari GTO pricing. The new price including optional air conditioning and power windows was $125,000USD. That was payable two weeks before picking up your new GTO at the factory. A couple of other numbers to consider: 0 - 60 in 5 seconds flat and the the quarter mile in 13.1 seconds at 112MPH. All this from a 174 cubic inch V8 pushing around a mere 2880 pounds plus driver of course...

The UK Ferrari guide from Maranello states that the UK launch price was £72999 and that 20 288 GTO,s were originally sold to the UK. hope this helps.

 

Beautiful ! First owner kept her for 20 years ! Im sure it wasnt easy for him to let such a beauty go..

How cool it must have been to go pick up the GTO at the factory in 1985!

 

Just awesome.

I also have the all the import/export documents for each country as the car was driven across Europe and back to the UK!

One of the greatest Ferraris ever.

 

RTB: was this the GTO where one of the journalists from CAR? went along for the ride to the factory for the delivery of the GTO? There was a lot of rain on that trip according to the photographs... What color is the interior trim; all black or red inserts in cloth or leather for seats? Thanks!
