Agree. And powered with a reliable Chevrolet (Corvette?) V8. A great combo.

Eminently presentable for the most prestigious concours and classic racing events, this is an exceptional gran turismo car in all respects. Perhaps Giotto Bizzarrini, the “Father of the 250 GTO,” said it best: “I started with the idea of the Ferrari GTO and set about trying to improve on it.”

says it all, thanks John

Ah yes another beautiful car that I probably couldn't get in or get out of. When I was young and flexible, I never envisioned that one day I would have to try on a car to see if I fit.

LOL!  Uh; yes, Bob, I absolutely CAN envision it. When we had our Miata's I couldn't drive them with the top up. It had to be down. And the steering wheel needs to be full forward and the seat back!

How is it that we old men past 70 and 80 keep growing?????  LOL!  Nonoise
