$62M Ferrari 250 GTO Wakes Up Village!! 

Imagine driving 1,000 miles to Italy, doing the Mille Miligia tribute, taking a V12 class win and driving home to the U.K. 1,000 miles again. Imagine doing that four times in consecutive years. I take my 599 to the shops in between, you can still do it today. Pointless seeing these cars unless it’s doing what they were designed to do…. Makes me sad to see that caged animal plodding along.

@@chriscooper3384 unfortunately, just taking a short drive in a valuable car like that, .. costs THOUSANDS of dollars in maintenance (cleaning, paint correction, repairs, etc..) to keep it's $62M value up. Hence these cars mostly sit on display. and most of that time have a cover over them for protection.

@@chriscooper3384one can't do that anymore too expensive to drive on normal roads. Insurance wouldn't even touch it under a low amount of miles a year. It's such a shame.

@@greyguy.960 waste of time then - put it in a museum and drive something less valuable. Life is too short to own things you cannot use.

@@chriscooper3384 the dude who owns this gto put nearly 15k on his chiron in less than 6 months, I assure you he drives his cars alot. The only problem is in between work and racing in wec he is a busy man.... that and owning like maybe at least 50 other cars....

Today's techies don't have souls either. If they did at one time, they sold them for their elite lifestyle.

Nice name

While the 250 GTO does sound nice l don't think you can beat the old school American V8.

@@clooperman3745 a V12 sounds nice? Sounds better than a V8 fella!

@@freddysquirenaranjo4859A lot of people would disagree with you.

@Vetements It’s not actually the same colour, it’s a peelable paint

Imagine putting 3 bags of compost on the passenger seat and a few ferns strapped to the roof. That would be a sight to see.

Did you get your's from Pep Boys like on this car?

​@@greyguy.960Nick Mason drove his kids to school in his when his other cars wouldn't start

Was wondering which village . Now I know ! Thanks

Pity most of us can't afford to live in a village like that. House prices there must be through the roof. Actually, I'm in Lancashire and it's surprising how much money some people have up in the north. Been to a few local meets and shows and often I see in attendance a real Ferrari 275GTB, 250SWB and also a California Spyder (a rebodied Ferrari so I've heard not a kit car or replica) all owned by the same person. Love to know where people get the money. Money doesn't always bring people happiness, quite the opposite and people with alot of money are generally the most miserable and unhappiest cos what they've got isn't enough for them.

Woodstock is a town, not a village.

He was keeping the door ajar because of the heat and condensation inside the cockpit you plonker! Most Classic Car Owners do that when travelling extremely slowly..... the V12 creates a little a bit of heat! It's a racing car, so not much insulation! The car had just won first prize, don't you think the judges would have noticed that the door wasn't busted! OMG! 🙄

It's not open, it's just poor 1960's italian craftmanship.

@@teymourbayat8266 no, it's open. It wasn't like that in the montage of photos right before it was driving through the town

@@benchaggaresmusic I know, I was just making a silly joke...Sorry.

Just like Sean Alessi F40, that leaks when it rains. He was given the F40 by the head of Ferrari because Gerard Burger borrowed Sean’s T car in order to qualify. Sean needed pacifying. 🤦‍♂️ What a team to work for.

@@teymourbayat8266 Well I thought it was funny😂

Are you talking about the GTO? It’s a Green.

☹️😖

Such a nice colour isn’t it?

@@Gavownian If the color is green, why is it called Blu Genziana?

Why is it always about money?

Ffs, being worth $10 billion and actually having the money is not the same thing.

One can wish.

Simple enough to close a bloody door isn't it?

Don’t look at an original Pantera, then…

If it didn’t have those exhaust tips, everyone would be able to afford it.

There are/where ferrari 250 gto's with side exhaust.

That’s what they had. They’re a race car.

@@DarkKnightwing75 they call it : SNAPS. it is for a better sound

A car that truelly is worth the price, even though it,s price is 62m

Still, probably better than your Clio? Just saying.

What do you mean? They do the same as the left side

The left side let's the smoke out and the right side is for refilling the smoke

I did a bit of research for fun, this is S/n 3387GT, produced in March 1962. It is the second 250GTO ever produced, it was tested at Monza before being delivered to Chinetti in the States where it raced until 1965. The car was repainted red in 1962, and repainted into it's current (which were the original) colours in 1997, and was brought to the UK when it was offered by Talacrest in 2016, who sold it for $56M.

My guy!!🙌

?

No ! it's original exhaust pipes

It's sick and insane. Like my Nan.

What are you talking about? Lmao!

Ahh, buddy. When you read about this car and see old videos of it, maybe you’ll change your tune. I wouldn’t trust myself with this car, with its worth and all.

it's SNAPS

But they are all boring compared to this, modern cars lack the driving experience cars like this offer, this is raw and engaging with the driver, its beautiful and cooler than any car on the market right now. one day the cars of today will become old and we will still love them but others will say its a shitbox because its outdated. I am a young person yet I still appreciate this car because it connects to me.
