Petrolcious has some great videos, I've posted a bunch here in the past. This is one of the better ones. Thanks for posting.

Another Petrolicious fan here...and what a great video.
There's so much to like, and so much to discuss about the Ferrari 250 GTO, but for me it includes what has to be one of the coolest wrap around windshield ever made...talk about sleek.

With values of classic Ferrari's in the 10M+ range, i am surprised they even are out and have cameras (Albeit awesome awesome videography).

Pink Floyd's, Nick Mason, bought his 250 GTO back in the seventies. He's been known to park it on the streets of London, and he still competes with it in vintage races. He's also turned down large offers for it. Ferrari only built 36 of them.

So driving it up a mountain seems like a good idea.

One of my favorite car stories (also with me being a big Floyd fan). I find it funny, though, that the guy is supposedly worth like $150mm. Does that figure include this one single car that is worth 20% of that? I mean just a couple years ago he crashed his McLaren F1 GTR. What's one of those worth?

“When I paid £35,000 for the 250 GTO in 1977, I felt stupid to be spending so much — I didn’t think it would be worth £30m in 2016.”

Crazy to think that this one car is nearly equivalent in price to Ferrrari Collector David Lee's whole stable that gets so much press.

I think there is a woman on the east coast who has two of these and actually tracks them. edit: she has one and her husband owns one.

Great video! And not just because that car costs more that 99.999999999% of the world's family net worth over 5 generations.

Old but cool article

One of the Walton heirs has three similar Ferraris!
