250GTO will be hard to see. I had the pleasure to see the Kroymans GTO about 6 years ago. It's been sold since Kroymans went bankrupt a few years ago  Still glad I had the opportunity to check out the car in his private museum. Probably the last time I will ever see a 250GTO in real life... |
That would be an amazing trip but currently beyond my means
I still have faith I can see the three I mentioned within the US which will make it all that more special.
Here's a link to the 250 GTO gathering in celebration of the car's 50th anniversary. You feel very lucky to have seen one. Just imagine walking into the track and seeing about 25

There is a youtube video somewhere of a guy driving up to I think Denver's Cars & Cafe in an original 250 GTO. I'm sure that blew some minds.
I'm not worried about finding a 250 GTO because I think I'll stand a very good chance at the next Cavallino Classic in West Palm.
The Collier Museum in Naples, FL has a McLaren F1 but it is not open to the public anymore. I actually did the construction on Miles Collier's beach house back in the 80's but I doubt that's enough to get me in
There is also a guy in the Tampa area that has, had one. He has an RV company and he used to bring it to car shows but that was before my time and I haven't seen it the last few years I've been going. There was a white one in the West Palm area that showed up at a few shows but that was before my time as well.
The Zonda will be the hardest by far to find. I heard a collector that has three warehouses full of cars with one being about an hour from me has a Zonda on order so maybe it will surface someday.
Here's a video of the Cavillino Classic and check out the first car in the video
