I believe the 330 P4 to be the best ever racing car design, but the 250 GTO comes a very close second. I especially like these two cars for reasons of my slotting history. The GTO was the first slot car that I ever scratch built, back in the early 60s. It was 1/32 scale and had a Pittman motor with brass bevelled gears. Went through a lot of toothpaste before I got those gear working well. The 330 P4 was the most successful car I built in the 60s. It was 1/24 scale, had a full pan of lead/zinc printer's plate for the chassis with a Dynamic pod. I won a box full of trophies with that car.
I now have a 1/32 GTO again, but would love to get another 1/24 330 P4. Also, to me, a Ferrari has to be red.
You have a great collection there, Bob.
Cheers,
Keith
