How much are Ferrari 250 GTOs worth?

[Lozza_s]

Went to my mates house today and the house opposite had a classic car and the man withh son were stuggling to push it up the drive, i went to give a hand and as i got closer suddenley noticed the 4 exhaust at the gto on the back of this beautiful car, i asked the owner of the car is this a replica and he said no and showed me all the paperwork. so i had the plessure of pushing this wonderfull car up the drive into a single garage on the side of a normal 3 bed semi. i had no idea in 10 years of knowing my friend this car was oppoiste!

how much are they worth? i always thought they were in the millions? thats why i was being very careful of the fiberglass lip on the back of the boot, didnt fancy snapping that off!

If that is real that would have been unbelievable! I am under the impression they are worth around $20-25 million but I might be wrong.

fiberglass on a 250 GTO??

They didnt build many, and all are known so I would be surprised if one existed in a surburban area. These sorts of cars are stolen to order and would never be seen again, I'm afraid to say.

i think he said be careful of that because its fiber glass but not 100 percent on that. i know was such a massive suprise to see it, beautiful car, i will never see a more expensive car!

I think you are right there! The closest I have got is probably a 250 GT SWB, worth maybe [a pitiful] £2mill

I don't claim to be the world authority on 250 GTOs but I've seen a few and I don't remember any of them actually wearing a GTO badge.

I'd say you woz 'ad.

A real 250 GTO is worth upwards of £15-20,000,000 and doesnt have any grp bodywork at a guess, I'd say that you were pushing a beat up datsun 240z with a body kit as even the Ferrari based replicas are going for £250k+

Chris Evans paid 13m for his GTO - I think the current value is around 20m dollars, if you can find a seller. I doubt a guy with a normal 3 bed semi has a car of that value. It could have been another vintage fezza with quad pipes

CE bought a series 2 car which is cheaper. The $20+ cars are the series 1 cars

This is a rather special one I saw in London

'62 GTO's are possibly the nicest looking car ever made.

How is that GTO more special that the other 35 GTOs out there? Whats the story?

Loads of other 250s, and even 330s got converted to look like GTOs and Californias too. Given you can pick up a 330 for £60k, someone could have rebodied it. Apparently it's not a particularly difficult job.

I have seen a couple of genuine GTOs but this one really stood out from the crowd!
A green 1963 example I saw at the concourse this year. Very nice

That one was racing at Goodwood this weekend as was the green one above. You have to have a lot of guts to race cars that are so valuable but I am very grateful to the owners for doing so.

There are quite a few replicas out there that are derived from original Ferraris, so the paperwork he might have been showing you was/could have been authentic.

I came across this site a little while back. It makes for a good and interesting read.

The red one is Nick Masons the green one is Sir Anthony Bamfords I believe?

All comes down to history Chaz.

A 250 GTO that has a top class race history at the hands of a variety of top drivers will be worth a lot more than one with a poor history.

It would be amazing to own a GTO but even better if your car had won at Le Mans a few times.
