The Ferrari 250 GTO is often considered to be one of the top sports cars of

all time. It was built for racing in the early 1960s and at that time, would

have cost $18,000 – well over $100,000 by today’s standards if inflation is

taken into account. Potential buyers had to be personally approved by Enzo Ferrari himself. Only 39 models were made.
