The first time I saw GTO 3987, it was being driven by Mark Slotkin who acquired the car from Ferrari dealer Otto Zipper after Otto had entered the car for Richie Ginther to drive at Riverside Raceway. We were going in opposite directions on San Vicente Boulevard by Brentwood Elementary School though I was a passenger, still too young to drive. The GTO took my breath away and I turned around in my seat to watch as it disappeared down the road. It looked and sounded wonderful! I needed that car! The next time, some months later, the GTO pulled up next to the family Cadillac (I was was still too young to drive) at a red light on Wilshire Boulevard at Gayley Avenue--a couple of blocks from where I would later begin holding the Elysée Wednesday meetings--I took in as many aspects of 3987 as I could, admiring the body contours and gleaming red paint, the orange lights on the roof, the sound of the engine idling at 1000 rpm, the Goodyear Blue Streak racing tires on Borrani wire wheels. It was a lot to take in and the light turned green much too soon and the sound of the GTO accelerating away was almost too much to bear. That particular GTO had embedded itself into my psyche!

This clip shows GTO 3987 at the Times Grand Prix in 1963 where it finished 5th overall driven by Richie Ginther and entered by Otto Zipper. The car is still in its Mecom racing colors... #ferrari #ferrari250gto #ferrariworld #riversideraceway #richieginther #ottozipper #filmmakerslife https://www.instagram.com/p/BrINWIZlzcA/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1pyzurapor2lu

This photograph by Allen R. Kuhn shows GTO 3987 still in Mecom racing colors, though belonging at the time to Ferrari dealer Otto Zipper, at Riverside International Raceway where it finished 5th overall driven by Richie Ginther who is seen to the right talking with crew members. Mecom had offered to sell the GTO to his driver Augie Pabst who declined but arranged the sale to Zipper. By the time I acquired the car, it was red but all the other identifying characteristics remained. #ferrari #ferrari250gto #richieginther #ottozipper #augiepabst #johnmecom #riversideraceway #filmmakerslife https://www.instagram.com/p/Boo1xfbn5kt/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1qviwdkshj32p

This is a photo of Ferrari GTO 3987 by Daniel Mensinger of Riverside taken at the 1963 Times Grand Prix at Riverside Raceway where it was entered by Otto Zipper for Richie Ginther still in John Mecom livery. This is the only photo I've seen of the ex-Mecom car taken to show the paint scheme from the rear. #ferrari #ferrari250gto #ferrari250 #ferrariworld #riversideraceway #timesgrandprix #richieginther #ottozipper #filmmaker
