    Do you want to talk about the supposedly "missing" 330 GTO 3673SA? It has been verified that it was never built with a GTO body, but was fitted with one later on? If it's not that one, what S/N are you talking about?

    if I remember well, it's the chassis, not the engine that makes the car... if you consider missing parts of the cars, there are a lots of GTO that have been crashed and rebuilt over the years...

    1. You have counted 4713 twice on your list to arrive at the quantity of 39.
    You include it as a Series I GTO ('62 body style) which it isn't AND as a 3 litre with 330 LMB body style (the so-called '250 LMB') which it is... the only 250 GTO bodied with a(n) LMB-style body.

    2. Taking into account the double counting of 4713 then, you list a total of 38 GTO's. This leaves 3673SA, the 400 Superamerica that originally carried a 250 GT (SWB) body and was later re-bodied as a GTO off the list- rightly so.

    3. 4561 SA is included on your list but in fact, is a 400 Superamerica that was built on special order for Ferrari board member Jean-Paul Cavallier. While it did leave the factory with a GTO style body on its slightly longer chassis, in all respects it is a 400 Superamerica.
    Subtracting it from the list we come to 37.

    Michael T. Lynch's article in Cavallino covers these point in finer detail.

    The book looks awesome and I look forward to the day I can snag one for myself.

    Best,
    Dave

    Does anyone have a source for the 45th Anniversary book (or any of the others)? I haven't been able to locate that publisher.

    Thanks.

    There are different publishers for the different events:

    The 45th anniversary book is published by FinkPresse, the 35th anniversay by Hachette.

    The latest book would be great but I'm having a hard time finding it as well. No way to find the publishers website nor Ferrari Club France with a link for the book order...any help would be appreciated if anyone has already gotten it. Even a cleared scan of the order form shown in the previous post would be great- thanks!

    Dear Ron,

    is this her during your time of ownership? Fchat never ceases to amaze me: having an actual owner of such a rare car in its members!

    You have realized something that all of us only dream of: be the custodian of such a magnificent automobile!

    Would you mind sharing your ownership experience of 3527?

    Best.

    Hortons Books in the UK have a few copies available.
    I have the book and whilst it is nice, it is not great. And probably not worth its original retail price even though this may be surpassed due to its possible rarity/desirability.

    I have that also.
    Its a nice little magazine. Much the same as the 45th Anniversary book in the sense it has just as much content on Moet & Chandon and the food the competitors ate, and the route they took as the cars.

    You really have to wonder (maybe not) about the people who join with there first post being for something they have to sell.
