hows this for a rare auto

Post by CUDA »

here's the story,
first off my boss has 16 dealerships and 22 car lines that we service, he also has the oldest and largest Ferrari dealership in the U.S. and has the Largest private ferrari collection in the world with 44, some of them inc the Enzo, F40, F50 and a certain 1985 GTO, this is where the story gets interesting with the GTO, it seems that back in 1984 Ferrari put together a team of techs to build 272 GTO's for sale. my boss Ron Tonkin ordered one of these for his collection, when it came time for delivery it seems that they had sold his car. not only that but they had broken up the team that was assembling the cars and had destroyed some of the molds. well my boss wanting his GTO that he had ordered called Enzo Ferrari personaly and talked to him about it. well Enzo reassembled his team of tech to build 1 more car, even remaking some of the destroyed molds. with it he sent a personal letter verifying the authenicity of the vehicle and personaly thanking Ron Tonkin for all he had done for Ferrari in the U.S. so now my boss has #273 of only 272 1985 Ferrari GTO's that were ever built how much is this car worth?

Just being a 1985 probably puts in the million dollar range. Add in it was a limited production probably adds another 500,000. Add in Enzo Ferrari's letter and maybe now you are up to 2 million. Whaddya think?

apparently so. it has to ne one of if not the rarest Ferrari in the world. have no idea of its worth I know his F50 and Enzo are valued at 1,000,000 and 1,500,00 each. got to drive his F50 man its scary fast doesnt even come with a Radio :roll: and the windows dont roll down all the way :P as for clout Tonkin is probably one of the more powerful Dealers in the country, twice being President of the N.A.D.A.

nice bro. nice!

I once drove Sammy Davis Jr's Lamborghini Countach, but that's my only claim to fame. He was my girlfriend's nextdoor neighbour in Greenwich, CT. He had a booster seat for it - LMAO.
