Ferrari built 39 GTOs between 1962 and 1964. The iconic Ferrari racer features a 3.0-liter V12, can hit 60 in about six seconds and has a top speed north of 170. It's not the fastest Ferrari ever, but it's one of the most collectible -- and now it's the most expensive.
A British man -- believed to be businessman Jon Hunt -- has just sold chassis number 5905 for a startling 20.2 million GBP. Or, as Google translate tells us, about $32,000,000. That makes it the second most expensive car ever sold. The most expensive was a Bugatti Type57SC Atlantic with an aluminum body. No price was ever officially disclosed, but estimates were between $30- and $40-million.
As impressive a feat of spending this is, it's really just a cheap excuse for me to use a bunch of really fantastic Ferrari 250 shots that our man Niebuhr took at the Monterey Historics.

Somewhere, right now, there is some guy, that 30 years ago said to himself, "I bet if I buy a couple of those new Deloreans and stick 'em in a warehouse, that will be a great investment". After all, who would ever want an old race car.
