Item Details


  • Seller: GT4O
  • Location: Chicago, IL 60608
  • Lot #: M-0041639-DT

Available for auction is a toolkit for a Ferrari 288 GTO. The tool kit features a thick vinyl pouch with 15 separate stitched pockets which is secured by the factory correct popper fasteners.



Announced by Enzo Ferrari in September 1983, the Ferrari 288 GTO revamped the famous GTO moniker which stands for Gran Turismo Omologato, harkening back to the glory days of its ancestor, the iconic 250 GTO. The 288 GTO became the Prancing Horse's first supercar, the progenitor for its other iconic supercars, such as the F40, F50, and Enzo.



The kit consists of four screwdrivers; two with ‘Phillips’ cross heads and two with flat heads, both in large and small sizes. The screwdrivers have the correct translucent amber color handles and molded grip shape. There are eight double-ended wrenches, ranging from 6/7 size at the smallest end and 20/22 at the largest. They all present the correct ‘Ferrari’ casting marks on one side, and ‘Chrom Vanadium’ on the other. The 14/15 size wrench has a different marking design, as is correct for a genuine 288 GTO tool roll. Additionally, the kit includes the correct emergency window crank handle tool, a black scripted, red handled Ferrari-branded pliers, and two OEM Champion A59G spark plugs.



The seller states the tool kit has minor patina and has been exceptionally well preserved. Tool kits in this condition are hard to come by and this is a very rare opportunity to acquire a genuine tool roll from the legendary Ferrari 288 GTO. This would make a great acquisition for the a lucky owner –whether to enhance a car’s level of “completeness” for concourse judging or as a valuable spare – as well as an important and intriguing addition for a wider collection of Ferrari automobilia. The buyer is responsible for shipping, shipping insurance, handling, and transactional fees.

    @mayart Reserve is correct and reasonable. Thanks.

    @seller there is a big discrepancy between the current bid and the prices you're mentioning from other auctions and there's only 3 hours left on the auction. Hope you have set the correct reserve price.

    Both the 288 GTO toolkit and mirrors represent a very rare opportunity, particularly in this condition.

    Optional Bonus:

    For a winning bid of $14000 or more an extremely rare, brand new old stock set of the iconic 288 GTO door mirrors in their original Vitaloni packaging will be included.

    Instantly recognizable as one of the defining 288 GTO's styling features, the large flag-style door mirrors, provide excellent rearward visibility over the bulging fenders of Maranello's first supercar.
    This time capsule Ferrari 288 GTO mirror set was manufactured in 1998 and comes complete with its Vitaloni/Magneti Marelli boxes, part labels, and bubble wrap packaging. It was never installed or used.

    As is correct and originally supplied, the mirrors come unpainted, finished in an orange and gray primer.

    Thanks and Happy Easter!

    Welcome all,

    This is a very rare and exceptionally well preserved Ferrari 288 GTO toolkit.

    RM Sotheby's recently sold the toolkit and jack kit for €31,200.
    BaT had one bundled with other items and it did not meet reserve at $32,880.

    This toolkit is in superior condition to those.

    Additionally, the Optional Bonus offers the even rarer opportunity to acquire a time capsule, new old stock set of 288 GTO iconic exterior mirrors still in their original Vitaloni packaging. Stay tuned for the details and pics.

    Thank you and enjoy the auction
