How would you spend the $1.6bn Powerball win on cars?

A world record $1.6 BILLION was up for grabs in the US PowerBall Lottery this week, and apparently there are three tickets that have matched the winning numbers. People were so attracted to the massive prize that at one point, ticket sales hit $1.3 million per minute, even if the odds of winning were actually a faintly incomprehensible 292 million to one. But still.

Only 39 250 GTOs were manufactured between ’62 and ’64: 33 with 1962-63 bodywork (Series I), three Series IIs and three "330 GTO" specials with a larger engine. It cost $18,000 new...
