When we were young: Hooning Ferrari GTOs in the late 60s

DateThursday, January 24, 2013 at 8:49PM

A former GTO owner takes us on an intimate trip down memory lane as we watch some old Super 8 footage of him and his friends with their GTO Ferraris back when they were just used cars to play around with.  Oh to be a 19 year old in 1969 with my very own GTO!  The car belonging to the narrator is now in the collection of Ralph Lauren.  Here we get a glimpse of its wilder youth!  The part where they are painting the 250 GT California matte black is just outstanding. The footage is just perfect. In today's world of hipstomatic and After Effects filters, it's great to see real Super 8 footage that captures the time pefectly.

I find myself from time to time thinking about Stephen Mitchell and his GTO and I always remember how he describes a late night drive in which he hears the "breathing" of the engine, the sounds of the intake on the engine....that really resonated with me and has stuck with me. I suppose in his case "better to have had"...even though holding onto it would have meant an insane profit given the eye-watering prices they go for nowadays. I just find it amazing that at some point a very high percentage of Ferrari awesomeness was owned by a bunch of So-Cal dudes [the Breadvan included]...that's just nuts.
