If you can afford a one-off Exoto 2J, a life-size Ferrari should be no problem. Cool

You're not kidding. I bought a new '72 Corvette, 3 years later in 1972 for $6500 and that was limit for my wallet; let alone $8250!!

The closest I'll ever come to this car is my 1/18 scale CMC model of it. Marty, I was hoping that you step up and buy one so I could tell my friends that I know someone who has one.

LOL!  Be sure to check in with me after I win the Mega Millions jackpot when it gets over $1 Billion.  Not only could I acquire a Ferrari GTO, but I could also have the Ferrari GTO house to match!  Something along these lines in Dana Point will do quite nicely!  I'd photograph great in the car and the house!  LOL!  LoL Mr. Green   Wink
