The Ferrari 250 GTO (Gran Turismo Omologata) was designed to compete in Group 3 GT racing. Only 36 GTOs were (hand)built between 1962 and 1964. It has the race-proven 3.0 L "Colombo" V12 (300 PS @ 7500 rpm) engine as used in the 250 Testa Rossa Le Mans winner.
In 2018 it became the most expensive car ever sold at public auction ($48.4 million).

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!

I never expected to see an apparently unrestored GTO convertible just sitting in a lot in Providence. Check out the old-fashioned snow tires on the back!

Ferrari Since 1947
The GTO was assembled by GM's Holden subsidiary at Elizabeth, a northern suburb of the South Australian state capital Adelaide. It was equipped with the 350 horsepower, 5.7 liter LS1 V8 engine for the 2004 model year, the same engine found in the concurrent model year Chevrolet Corvette, with a choice of a 6-speed manual transmission or a 4-speed automatic. Changes from the Australian-built Monaro included bracing additions to the body to meet US crash standards, a "corporate Pontiac" front facia, new badging, "GTO" stitching on the front seats, and a revised exhaust system. GM Engineers benchmarked the sound of the 1964 GTO held in the Pontiac historical collection, as well as other LS1-powered vehicles, while working with the exhaust vender to tune the system. The effort was made to make the new GTO invoke the same sound as the original while still meeting the noise threshold required by some states.The 2004 GTO exhaust was a true dual system that followed the original Monaro exhaust routing, thus both tailpipes exited on the driver side of the vehicle. General Motors claimed performance of 5.3 seconds to 60 and a 13.8 second quarter mile time, which was closely verified by several magazine tests.
GM North America's deal with Holden was to produce a maximum of 18,000 vehicles per year starting in late 2003 and going through to the end of the 2006 model year. The 18,000 units was the production limit for the model at the Australian assembly plant.

Mecum Collector Car Auction, Kissimmee, Florida - January 24, 2009
Not yet in it's glory days, but definitely on the way at this point
Pentax K-30, Rokinon 85/1.4
For the Pentax Forums Single in October challenge
The "Fireball Run" (Google it. Basically a fundraiser/awareness-raiser for missing and runaway children.) made its stop in Sedalia this evening. It was a pretty big event (and I think it's still going on as I type). Lots of people, hot rods, classic cars. All of the cars participating in the "race" were largely sleek new machines, but the area historical vehicle society made an appearance too, and those caught my eye best. (I took a bunch of shots with my MX-1, too. I'll upload those later...)
My local Ferrari dealership has an Enzo, F50, F40, and GTO on display in a glass walled car elevator. Yesterday I just happened to stop by the dealership when they brought the cars out for cleaning and servicing.
First 599 GTO spotted!! I love this car, it's my favourite!!
What a great day!
