    Ferrari 250 GTO
    -----------------------

    The Ferrari GTO lead two lives: one as a road car intended for public streets and the other as a full blooded competitive race car. It's primary purpose was to win races and it was quite successful in that endeavor.

    1962, 1963 and 1964 were extremely successful years, with GTO wins adding up to Manufacturers Championship titles for all three years. If you were lucky enough to drive a GTO during those heady days, your competition was usually another GTO; it was not uncommon for half the field to be GTOs! Almost all were private entries, as the factory was focused on its formula one efforts, although they did provide support at major races.

    Also impressive was the range of venues that the GTO made its mark. They competed in Africa, Europe, the Caribbean and North America, in events as diverse as hill climbs (very popular in the 60s), endurance races (LeMans, Daytona and Sebring), rallies (including off-road) and sprints.

    1962
    Not a full season, as 1962 is the first year the Ferrari GTO was available. It competed 106 times in 49 races. The GTOs dominated with 41 class wins and 25 overall wins. Roger Penske, well known for his Indy 500 successes, is credited with two of the class and overall victories. Six cars were entered at LeMans, and three took first, second and third in their class.

    1963
    Competition became serious with special light weight Jaguar E-Types and Chevrolet Corvettes as well as Carroll Shelby and his AC Cobras. With more GTOs available, they competed 188 times in 107 races. There were 73 class wins and 22 overall wins; highlights included a one, two, three repeat of 1962's class win at LeMans.

    1964
    Although they won the manufacturers title for Ferrari, The GTOs dominance was starting to wane as the Ford Cobra and other factory efforts escalated. Controversy surrounded the season with debates over the qualifications of the cars. Ferrari's focus started to switch to their prototype cars, which clearly had more potential. Ferrari GTOs, entered 237times in 139 races, managed 85 class wins and 28 overall wins.

    S/N 10287 Scaglietti “Prototipo”. The first Daytona Prototype. Originally color grigio. Completed in early 1967, used for testing at the Modena Autodromo. Apparently never shown at any auto shows. Built on a standard 275 GTB/4 chassis with 275 GTB/4 brakes and suspension. Basically built to the original Pininfarina design, it looked much like a 275 GTB/4 from the windshield forward and a Daytona from the windshield back. This is the only known Ferrari built with a Tipo 243 engine, which is basically a Tipo 209 (330) block fitted with three–valve heads. Because of the narrow valve angle, there is only one large cam cover per head. This engine also has dual ignition with twin plugs per cylinder. First sold to Italy, then in the USA. Sold to Switzerland in 1988 where it still lives today.

    1995 Ferrari F50
    ---------------------------------------
    The Ferrari F50 was a mid-engined range-topping sports car made by Ferrari. The F50 was introduced in 1995 to celebrate the company's 50th anniversary. The car is a two door, two seat convertible with a removable hardtop. It has a 4.7 L naturally-aspirated 60-valve V12 engine that was developed from the 3.5 L V12 used in the 1992 Ferrari F92A Formula One car.

    Only 349 cars were made, one fewer than Ferrari estimated they could sell. This was, in the words of Ferrari spokesman Antonio Ghini, because "Ferraris are something cultural, a monument. They must be hard to find, so we will produce one less car than the market." The last F50 was produced in Maranello, Italy in July 1997.

    The F50's engine predated the car: It was used in the Ferrari 333 SP for the American IMSA series in 1994 allowing it to become eligible for the stock engine WSC category.

    Front Wheels: 18 in. x 8.5 in.
    Front Tires: 245/35 ZR-18 Goodyear Eagle F1 GS Fiorano (35psi)
    Front Brakes: 14.0 in. Brembo Cross-drilled & ventilated cast iron discs, 4 piston aluminum Brembo calipers, Pagid brake pads, (Without ABS)

    Rear Wheels: 18 in. x 13 in.
    Rear Tires: 335/30ZR-18 Goodyear Eagle F1 GS Fiorano (30psi)
    Rear Brakes: 13.2 in. Brembo Cross-drilled & ventilated cast iron discs, 4 piston aluminum Brembo calipers, Pagid brake pads, (Without ABS)

    Ferrari Red contains Pigment Red 254 produced by Ciba-Geigy Ltd., now Ciba Specialty Chemicals, based in Basel, Switzerland. The pigment is based on an organic compound called DPP developed in 1974. Nicknamed "Ferrari Red," the pigment was used on all solid-red Ferraris from 2000 to 2002, and on all solid-red Alfa Romeos, BMWs, Corvettes, Volkwagen GTI models and the Lexus Soarer (SC 430) from 2000 to 2006, according to Ciba (that would include the 2000 550 Barchetta Pininfarina). http://blog.cleveland.com/pdextra/2007/10/pollock_cuts.html
