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?
we have it in our bodyshop right now fixing a small split in the Fiberglass front bumper, must be nice to have $$$$
