Default Great Article on the First 250 GTO

We recently sent two 250 GTO's out to Pebble Beach to be judged and shown at the Concours d'Elegance. A great article was written about the first one that was made that we sent. The car took first place of the Ferrari GTO class as well as the Strother MacMinn Trophy for Most Elegant Sports Car.

We are mentioned a few times in the article but more importantly you get to see a really cool look into the story of the car.

Motion- Great stuff and a beautiful. Are you the same Motion Products who produced all the 427 and 454 Chevy products back in the 60s and 70s?

Taxandjan, I think you might be mixed up. Motion Products, Inc. was started as a specialty shop for Ferrari restorations back in 1979. Thanks for asking though.

During the restoration was there still lots of evidence of the changes from the initial Press Conference details and the later incorporations? Movement of the fuel filler. The added on spoiler - did it show evidence of multiple different attempts at a solution?

By the time the car got to you had the filler for the spoiler all been removed? During Bodin's time he left the filler on.
