Amalgam 1/18th scale model of the Ferrari 250 GTO. Only 36 of the real cars were made between 1962 and 1964, and all are still in existence. The last one to change hands did so in June 2018 for $70 million, a world record at the time.

The GTO (Gran Turismo Omologata) moniker instantly calls to mind two Ferraris that have entered the collective imagination as symbols of performance. After the 1962 250 GTO, which swept the boards in GT racing categories in the 1960s and is now a highly prized collector's car, came the iconic 1984 GTO, which basically invented the entire modern supercar genre.

This is one of only few photos I have of my 1965 Pontiac GTO. (option code 237)This photo was taken in 1975. The station wagon in the background was another car that I had at the time, a 1971 Chevrolet Malibu. I wish I would have kept this car, when I bought it it was 9 years old and still looked brand new (389 tri-power with 4 speed floor shift), me, being a teenager at the time, destroyed it by racing it around, painting it with gray primer and adding goofy stripes and mag wheels. Well, live and learn, I guess.
Arnie "The Farmer" Beswick was a farmer and drag racer from Morrison, Illinois, who ran a string of very fast Pontiacs through the sixties. This is his famous X/S '66 GTO. To compete with the new breed of funny cars in SS class, Arnie got a pre-production GTO from GM, had a mold pulled from the body, and built this hybrid. Beswick wanted the car to look as stock as possible, so the body was stretched a bit at the front but not too much, and instead of a full flip up body only the front clip opened. A tube frame was attached to the stock GTO item, the engine and driver moved back, and presto, a fast, reasonably stock looking racing car!
A Pontiac GTO convertible from circa 1970-72 and a 1968 Chevrolet Camaro RS share driveway space. They're both from an era in which General Motors was still the No. 1 auto maker and captured the imaginations of the car buying public.
Model year 1970 was the year in which GM finally allowed their intermediate size cars to have engines larger than 400 cubic inches. The '70 Chevelle SS, Pontiac GTO, Olds 4-4-2 and Buick GS models could then be had with the 454/455 cubic inch V8's.
Then soon afterwards in the mid 1970’s, things took a downturn. There seemed to be a ‘perfect storm’ of stricter emissions limits with lower compression and reduced power, high insurance costs, ungainly tacked-on 5 mph bumpers and declining assembly quality that made the successors to these cars seem relatively dismal compared to what they were just a few years before. Add the OPEC oil embargo to the US with its resultant long gas purchasing lines from panic buying among American consumers and spot shortages making driving only a necessary but angst-ridden activity.
In 1980, GM introduced their front-wheel-drive X-cars which proved to be less than stellar in many ways. They were certainly far from being 'cool' cars as the General's muscle cars once were.

Ferrari 599 GTO
Last night, I arrived back home from 2 days of London.
I was a guest of Team 57 and therefore I experienced the check-in of the teams at the Trafalgar Hotel, the VIP pre-party at the rooftop of the hotel and the 2011 Gumball3000 Official Launch Party at the all new Playboy Club in London on my first day!
The second day I had breakfast at the Trafalgar Hotel with the Ballers, experienced the driversbriefing and witnessed the start from the pressbox at Covent Garden.
This was simply mind-blowing and I got some pretty nice shots too, BUT THERE'S MORE:
