Today, you will find more than 100 GTO's, there are many good Replicas based on other 250 or 330.

All 39 real GTO are still alive.

Yeah I've also since discovered that all of them are still "alive". I also know that there are none in Australia :( , the closest ones are in Korea/Japan (S/N 3223, 4293, 4675 and 5095).

I don't really care for the replica's - even if they look great, but they don't have the history of a real GTO. :wink:

[ARMAN]

:shock: holy moly

[cooperluke]

If there was some kind of natural disaster there, the car incurance companies would bankrupt. eheh

Amazing photos!

[dingo]

Any idea where this renunion took place? I am assuming its in either the USA or England, considering most GTO's are located there.

[sikx5]

Holy shit!!!!!


It looks like England dingo, check out the castles :shock:

[dingo]

Holy shit!!!!!

You could be right, since 10 GTO's are in the UK and another 8 on mainland Europe so that would account for most of those in the pictures. :wink:

400 millions worth of cars ? holy shit !

[sikx5]

^^ Thats scarey huh...

Worked out that, they roughly cost 5 million pounds each..thats 350million AU there + the enzo..

[dingo]

400 millions worth of cars ? holy shit !

Not quite, the going price nowadays is around 10mill. USD I think - so more like half that amount. :wink:

^^ Thats scarey huh...

£5m equals to about $AU 12M - so with 21 cars thats a total of about $AU 250mill.

It was in France, 40th anniversary of the 250 GTO:

Oh cool , they lowerd the price ... what a bargain :oops:

[graywolf624]

Gorgeous sight.

otherwise Im speachless.

[dingo]

Oh cool , they lowerd the price ... what a bargain :oops:

well not really.....one GTO did sell for ~14mill USD in 1989, but the rest have been in the price range I mentioned. :wink:

Even Matsuda took his 250GTO to this event :shock:

He doesn't own that one anymore, has been sold twice since that event (including this year). :wink: He still owns another one (4675GT) though, so no big loss. :D

[dingo]

Was Matsuda the one who payed 14 million$ for one??

Nope, he "only" paid $4.2mill for the one he entered in this reunion.

The name of the guy who paid $14mill was Takeo Kato, and the funny thing is that the same car sold again 4yrs later for $2.7mill - talk about a price drop! :shock:

[dingo]

BTW, you seem quite interested in the 250GTO trades... may be you're interested in buying one? :P

Shit, my secret has been exposed! :P

Seriously though, lately I have been doing alot of reading about them so all these facts are in my head. :D

[sikx5]

^^ Same here dingo, After i saw that VBD episode, im in love, a 250 GT Lusso would be plenty good enough. They are affordable too...One day.


Very impressive knowledge there dude.
