stronghold ◊ 2006-03-17 00:08	ben68 wrote or 1963... ..is there a difference.?
ben68 ◊ 2006-03-17 00:13	Not really. Bodies were "hand-made" at that time. Approx. 30 chassis of the 250 GTO were built in 62 and 63, from which 4 were "re-bodied" in 1964 with a different aspect. Only GTO specialists could assess whether it's a 62 or a 63. This model has not the 3 holes in his motorhood, that's maybe a tip to identify the year.
