We are pleased to offer 288 GTO s/n 57493. A California car since new. Red with black leather. Fitted from new with A/C and P/W. Comes with a fanatically well detailed ownership and service history and all bills and receipts from new, back to the original Order Form/Bill of Sale. One of only 272 288 GTOs built, making the 288 GTO the most rare of the road–going Ferraris built in the last three plus decades. Imported under a museum exemption and so this car has never had the ugly USA side marker lights or the hideous US bumpers. The fastest production car on the planet when introduced in 1984, the 288 GTO is still the most collectable and most usable of the modern Ferrari Supercars. Mileage today is only 7,354 miles. Complete with the full set of books, pouch, warranty card, a ultra–nice tool roll with all tools, the jack kit and the factory plug–in trouble light. Ferrari 288 GTO s/n 57493 is very nicely detailed, a magnificent example of the 288 GTO, and is ready to go.
