It maybe have been rebuilt but the body is the 62-63 not the later 64 of which only 3 were built. Some of the early ones were rebodied, but the 62 design is still the best looking.

Yes- each car was built with various improvements as time went on and specific things asked for by the owners. All I know is that they were incredibly expensive in this time period and that each first owner had to be approved by Enzo himself.
My guess is Chinetti vouched for Bob Grossman, who had some previous success in Ferraris- or that after Sebring he just wanted to sell the car to who would have been a good customer.

Well Chinetti was very big factor in sales of Ferrari in north america, my friend Tom Frasca worked for him and his Nart team. to think that in 62 when the GTO was 19.000.00 dollars would have bought a very nice home in the day and now sell for 35 to 50 Million now is incredible, Nick Mason used his for 50 million collateral against the loans for Pink Floyd's last tour. Too bad the Ferrari cars and races cars of today which are interesting but are no where near as beautiful as they were from 55 to 75. Β Keep those shots coming nice to see the classic ones still on the go!

No Nick did not sell his, he just put it up as collateral on a loan, he is one of the longest running GTO owners,most have changed hands many times. Nick was also smart in that he rents his exotic collection to the movie and TV industry so the pay their way! Β The Chinetti family did a lot for Enzo, who needed to sell road cars to keep his racing efforts going.
There are many characters from car history in general that would be great to talk to.
