The Abandoned Ferrari 250 GTO

On Ferrari Friday's, William Ross from the Exotic Car Marketplace will be discussing all things Ferrari and interviewing people that live and breathe the Ferrari brand. Topics range from road cars to racing; drivers to owners, as well as auctions, private sales and trends in the collector market.

William focuses on the abandoned 250 GTO, chassis number 3589. William explains his recent absence and details plans for expanding their content under an umbrella website to include various exotic car brands. He then unravels the tragic story of Joe Cortian from North Royalton, Ohio, whose son died in the GTO. After years of the car languishing, a friendship with car enthusiast David Nelson leads to the car's sale and the establishment of a scholarship in Joe's son's name at Notre Dame, restoring some solace to Joe and preserving the car's legacy.
