This M.C. Toy Ferrari 250 GTO needed saving. Nothing much was particularly wrong with it except for that horrific shade of pink it was wearing. The faded neon look did not lend itself well to the classic Ferrari. I took an opportunity to compare two sets of 3D printed wire wheels with this video to see how different producers stacked up. I had a set from Diecast Dreams Custom Parts and another set from Creative One 64 with viewers voting for their favoured wheels.

The 250 GTO that this casting is based on is now a collectors item. But that wasn't always the case. A minimalist racing car from 1962 to 1964, by 1969 it was obsolete and values had crashed to $2,000 US from their original sale price of $18,500. The second most expensive car ever sold was a 250 GTO and that was for $70 million in 2018.

Between 1962 and 1964, the 250 GTO was the dominant GT car. It won its class at Le Mans each of those years and helped Ferrari win the Manufacturer's Trophy for GT constructors. Just 36 of these magnificent beasts were built and have gone on to become the ultimate icon of Ferrari's illustrious history.
