Hey Joe, looks like you had a great time. Love your new ride. And great pics guys. Quik question about that cement driveway. I see that location in alot of pics.
Thanks. However its not-so-new. Of interest Ive known this GTO for 15 years and followed it for 10 :-0
Emilio speak to your friends at Ansa about straight-pipe headers and Megaphone exhausts and you'll get immediate interest from the USA... Image Unavailable, Please Login
Indeed Gary Hall made a nice run of re-manufactured items which withstood the heat a bit better than the original stickers (which lasted but a weekend or two!). On the original units, the adhesive was quite good though - you can see its mark 24 years later! However Emilio is also right, if you spy the undersides of the unit, you'll see that Ansa have tack-welded a metal badge with the simple inscription "ANSA" on it.
A few of our weekend jaunt by Las this time...

Compare the ID plate of 52715 with that of 56761... a little different Ill say. As an aside, Im noticing that the earlier GTOs with a "52xxx" chassis number have some small differences... Image Unavailable, Please Login

Thanks for posting that Emilio. Cant argue with the thinking behind a GTO - F40 collection in the family! Image Unavailable, Please Login
Thanks Sir - T. Photo by JCC at Le Mans in 1986 of this 288 GTO with export plates "EE.253.AK" Dusty! Image Unavailable, Please Login
a pleasure i agree ...sure they have good taste in cars i will have to scan the pics i got of them collecting their diablo directly on factory
...at the Nürburgring. The car was owned from new by Hartmut Ibing, who also owns a 250 GTO since 1976, from Germany. The car was later stolen in Monaco but surfaced again in LA, USA. Here it was impounded by the US-customs and given back to its owner in Germany. Ibing sold the car about 10 (?) years ago. Don`t know the VIN but I am sure its here somewhere on this thread. Ciao!

Paul, not sure about this. As far as I recall it must have been in the early 90ies. It was about 2-3 months until Ibing got his car back. He let Ferrari S.p.A. in Maranello check it over when back in EU. I drove this 288 2 times and saw it always parked next to his 250 GTO, 250 LM, 250 Cal.-Spider, 250 MM and 275 GTB4 Alloy! Ciao! Walter
you're welcome. Sadly I've only seen a 288 GTO once in the flesh even if there's actually a guy owning 2 of them in my neighborhood.
Very interesting. One USA poster here also has 2, as does a UK owner. Maybe you can convince him to show you one.
That's really interesting. The collector I am talking about is located in the North of Munich. I saw parts of his local collection several times, there should be 30+ Ferrari's only. Thatfore i have to admit that I was mainly looking elsewhere.
