Production

	The low production (39) allowed Ferrari to be selective about potential owners; if you were in the good graces of Ferrari himself, or his North American ambassador Luigi Chinetti, your $18,000 (early-1960s dollars, of course) would buy you the best GT racing car available at the time.

	The 250 GTO arrived as perhaps the last car that could compete on such a level and still act as something of a normal road car; more visibly, it was one of the last front-engined cars to be truly competitive at such a level. In the age before vintage racing, the 250 GTO faced the same fate as any other racing car of its time: as it passed into obsolescence, some were kept as regional race machines, while others were used as normal (if barely-practical and thoroughly glorious) passenger cars.

Interestingly, some fifty years later, it is thought that all 36 (or 39?) GTOs still exist. Many of which are still raced today in such events as the Monterey Historic Races at Laguna Seca.
