Custom Hearse Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 Can it be truely the sexiest and most valuable? https://autos.yahoo.com/news/sexiest-most-valuable-car-galaxy-offered-sale-135314770.html
Joe Handley Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 Eh, I'd rather have the Million Dollar Cuda, but both are overpriced.
CJ1971 Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 While I understand this car's beauty, pedigree, rarity etc & the fact some really, really, really rich person IS going to buy it... I just think $60 MILLION for a car... Things are just getting stupidly ridiculous.... ??
LDO Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 Fabrizio Violati's car. A photo of that car is the box art and decals for a Protar release of their 250 GTO. I don't know if the model is that exact car.
58 Impala Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 That's an insane amount of money for a car. It's probably one of the most beautiful cars ever built, but someone out there has more money than sense.
peekay Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 Nick Mason, Pink Floyd's drummer, bought his in 1977 for $57.000. His friends thought he was crazy spending that much on a used car.
ZTony8 Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 I'll have to check my references at home to be sure but I'm almost certain that this car,along with all the other 250 GTOs, has been crashed at least once in it's life.Some were wrecked so badly that everything but the serial number plate was thrown away and a new vehicle was built underneath it.
unclescott58 Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 Lovely car. One of my favorites. I still need a decent, reasonably price, and not too complicated to build, 1/25th (or 1/24th) scale model kit of this car. I don't understand why this car is not offered in kit fom by somebody like Revell. Scott

It is: http://www.revell.de/en/products/model-building/cars/young-oldtimer/id/07077.html And the Fujimi one is a fantastic kit, too: http://www.amazon.com/12358-24-Ferrari-250-GTO/dp/B001OC74Y8 I'm not sure I'd have one at $60m., but $60 seems OK... bestest, m.
Greg Myers Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 Can it be truely the sexiest and most valuable? Yes it can.
charlie8575 Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 An E-Type Jaguar looks a whole lot better to me... I was thinking the same thing. If I wanted to spend stupid money on a Ferrari, I'd much rather have this one. https://autos.yahoo.com/photos/steve-mcqueen-s-1967-ferrari-275-gtb-4-by-scaglietti-1404315284-slideshow/ Charlie Larkin

charlie8575 Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 Not the same link, exactly, but the same car. https://autos.yahoo.com/news/steve-mcqueen-ferrari-poised-break-records-monterey-auction-180015385.html;_ylt=AwrBEiE.MbRTCzYA1LU2m4lQ Charlie Larkin

Nice rake to the windshield, etc.
Scuderia Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 An E-Type Jaguar looks a whole lot better to me... Those are awesome-lookin' as well, and as I was reading the replies that car came to mind as well along with Charlie
johnbuzzed Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 It's all in the eyes and mind of the beholder. If I had a gazillion $$$, I would go for it. And the E-type, and the ragtop 'Cuda, and the Cobra Daytona...
PeeBee Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 "...sexiest car in the world..." is subjective and the author is being presumptuous. Obviously he's never seen an Aston R-1, a Maserati 250s, or an XK120, or a C-, D-, or E-Type, or even a 250SWB or a '57 250TR, and so on. And, as for as I'm concerned, spending $60 million bucks on a car is kind of vulgar, really. If I had that kind of dough burning a hole in my pocket I think I'd rather send a few thousand kids to college instead. It may well be that the buyer of this car does that kind of thing, too, but I seriously doubt it. PB.
bpletcher55 Posted July 3, 2014 Posted July 3, 2014 you could not give that car to me ,very nice car ,just not something I would want ,
slusher Posted July 3, 2014 Posted July 3, 2014 An E-Type Jaguar looks a whole lot better to me... I agree...
Old Nasty Posted July 3, 2014 Posted July 3, 2014 Did anyone else catch the 25 hours of Le Mans? Another photo claims the car was racing in 1961 but the cars were built between 1962 & 1964. Don't the authors of these stories do some basic research? By the way, it is a lovely automobile. I have a 1938 Allis Chalmers WC I'd be willing to use as a partial trade.
