I believe amenasce is correct that this is not an original 288, but rather a re-bodied 308. There are a few of these floating around. However, the body pieces are nicely done. The interior is clearly not original. Nor are the wheels. However, the 288 remains one of my all-time favorite models. Too bad the seats were so narrow and ergonomics so uncomfortable.

BTW, there were a total of 282 GTOs built (1984 and '85). There were also approximately 6 or so 288 test mules and EVOs (3) built. Bronto is referring to the number of '63 250 GTOs produced. There were 39 of those, several (4 +/-) of which were converted to '64 bodies.

Amenasce and CornersWall are correct, this is definitely a rebodied 308. The interior is a dead giveaway and it's very obvious if you look at the lower side of the car in this picture:



Here's an original:



Wow... I love 288 GTO, it's absolutely stunning! It's one of my all time favorite cars!
