Still can't believe how many GTO's were at Pebble Beach
A few outtakes/leftovers from Monterey.
The rest of my Monterey photos can be found at www.otisblank.com
Known elsewhere around the World as the Holden Monaro which was rebadged for Europe as a Vauxhall/Opel and in the US as a Chevrolet and Pontiac. Its thus no surprise that Hot Wheels have based theirs on the Pontiac GTO and that its not quite as stock as it could have been.
Crisply cast though and not so outrageously modified as to be left on the pegs as I and quite a few other collectors rather like it.
Seen here in its brand new 2022 Case K recolour. Mint and boxed.

Ferrari Since 1947
The Ferrari GTO (often referred to as Ferrari 288 GTO)(Type F114) is an exotic homologation of the Ferrari 308 GTB produced from 1984 to 1987 in Ferrari's Maranello factory, designated GT for Gran Turismo and O for Omologata (homologated in Italian).
Some of the GTO's styling features were first displayed on a 308 GTB design exercise by Pininfarina shown at the 1977 Geneva Auto Salon. The 288 GTO had started out as a modified version of the 308/328 to hold down costs and to build the car quickly, but little of the 308/328 was left when the 288 GTO was finished.
Easily noticeable differences were the GTOs bulging fender flares, larger front/rear spoilers, large "flag-style" outside mirrors and four driving lights at the far sides of the grille. Retained from the original 250 GTO were slanted air vents, put in the GTO's rear fenders to cool the brakes, as well as the rear wing's design, borrowed from the 250 GTO's original wing. The GTO also had wider body panels than the 308's because they had to cover much larger Goodyear tires mounted on racing wheels.
The GTO was based on the rear mid-engine, rear wheel drive 308 GTB, which has a 2.9 L (2,927 cc) V8. The "288" refers to the GTO's 2.8 litre DOHC 4 valves per cylinder V8 engine as it used a de-bored by 1 mm (0.04 in) with IHI twin-turbochargers, Behr air-to-air intercoolers, Weber-Marelli fuel injection and a compression ratio of 7.6:1. The 2.85 litre engine capacity was dictated by the FIA's requirement for a turbocharged engine's capacity to be multiplied by 1.4. This gave the GTO an equivalent engine capacity of 3,997 cc (4.0 L; 243.9 cu in), just under the Group B limit of 4.0 litres.
Unlike the 308's 2,927 cc (2.9 L; 178.6 cu in) engine, the GTO's 2,855 cc (2.9 L; 174.2 cu in) V8 was mounted longitudinally, using the 308's rear trunk space. This was necessary to make room for the twin turbochargers and intercoolers. The racing transmission was mounted to the rear of the longitudinal engine, moving the rear differential and wheels aft. The arrangement also let the GTO use a more conventional race-car engine/transmission layout for such things as quick gear-ratio changes for various tracks. As a result, the wheelbase was 110 mm (4.3 in) longer at 2,450 mm (96.5 in).
My father and I spent four years restorig this Classic Muscle Car from the bare frame up. Its got a 6.5 Liter 389 V8, 410 horse power, 3 duces, and 4 speed manual transmition on the floor.

Ferrari Since 1947
Here's a shot from the driver's seat. Tucked under the dash you can see the temp and oil pressure Autometer gauges I've added.
Actually, while Out Run 2006: Coast 2 Coast does indeed have a Ferrari 250 included in the game, it's the longer and sleeker Ferrari 250 GTO, not the classic 250GT California Spider, as "seen" in Ferris Bueller's Day Off (in replica form), which I am holding in front of the TV screen.
