I once saw a real 1963 250 GTO on the road, outside of Charleston SC. Pretty much blew my mind to see one of those out and about.

Is it wrong that I would have offered to felate the man for a quick spin?

Why do I have a hard time imagining a 5+ mil. car roaming around? Plus, what was he first year for a real 250 gto, could be a rebody of another Ferrari.

As I expected, 59 would be the gt swb. The gto is 62.

Sure was a bit cool this morning.. how long to let a dry sump V-12 warm up?

Seems around here, a $5mil car rarely stands out

Somehow this makes me feel better. It surely looked like a GTO, but like I said, I was without benefit of a book on Ferraris at the moment. Still, awfully sweet car.

Any 3.0 v-12 Ferrari is a sweet sound!

That sound is forever etched into my memory. I was in Monterey, CA in 1988/89. On Del Monte Ave, about 1/4 mile from the Naval Postgraduate School, was a Ferarri dealership (since relocated). One afternoon, I was standing on the lot admiring the art (um, cars) as one of the mechanics backed a 328GTS out of the garage. He pulled off the lot, accelerating hard onto and down Del Monte toward US Route 1. God I can still hear the wail of the engine. I've never heard any car sound like that, ever....
