Message: [QUOTE="TheCracker, post: 12352396, member: 28225"] Although you touched on it, i think it's looks were the thing that made it stick out for collectors in the late 60's and early 70's when it was no longer competitive as a race car. It was it's beauty as much as anything else that made it collectable in that early period, back when no one could have predicted the way the classic car movement has skyrocketed prices to astronomical levels - but also the fact that it was from the era one of the last purpose built racing cars that was not just fully road legal, but also quite usable as a road car. Technically that slightly later period of the first sports prototypes were also road legal - GT40's, 330P3/4, Porsche 908 etc, but they were too compromised for that to be practical. The GTO wasn't.
