JK,
For the most up to date information you can allways check the Emanuele Pirro
website http://www.barchetta.cc
On this website you can research the story of every famous Ferrari (if you
have the chassisnumber).
As far as I know every 250 GTO is still running.
If you are interested in the first owners of the GTO's, please let me know.

I thought there are only 36 of them left. How many of these does the Sultan
have?

There are only 36 250GTOs. The 39 number is often misquoted because there are
three 330GTOs as well. To further confuse, there are four 330LMs which
sometimes leads to 43 GTOs being reported as existing.

My favorite ex owner of a 250 GTO is the Victoria High School in Texas. The
car (s/n 3589 Winner of the International Trophy at Silverstone in 1962) was
donated in 1964 to the Auto mechanics department and stayed there until 1972
when rescued by Jeff Korton. I must have gone to the wrong school, we had a
1949 Ford in shop.

As for the owners, as of 1999 the lucky ones are.......

The Sultan and his brother only buy new and direct from the factory. No cars
with dirty ashtrays for royalty.

Ah. You worked for 2 years, retired for 2 years, and now you've been
re-incarnated as Minnie Mouse? ;^)

Funny, funny, little man. You think I went to Miami to retire? Ish. That place

Oh, that was just cosmetic. I thought you were referring to the dropped valve
