1964 Ferrari 275 GTB Prototype ... Estimate: $6,000,000 - $8,000,000
The car presented here, chassis 06003, is the foundation for the entire 275 GTB program – it was the very first
example built and served as Ferrari’s prototype and development car. This prototype would be used to test
numerous features and upgrades that would eventually be introduced into production cars. Most notably, the
Scaglietti coachwork was updated to the long-nose style, which became standardized after approximately
250 cars were built.
Ferrari’s racing manager, Eugenio Dragoni, and managing director, Ugo Gobbato, had a desire to test the 275
GTB in a rally and gather technical information on the model’s innovative new features, namely its transaxle
and independent rear suspension. Before it could go racing, 06003 was equipped with special rally equipment
including auxiliary rally lights, reinforced glass, a 75% locking differential, a modified hood, a third windshield
wiper and second rearview mirror for the navigator. In January 1966, 06003 was entered into the 35th annual
Monte Carlo Rally painted in the bright Giallo Prototipo (Prototype Yellow) with Giorgio Pianta driving and
Roberto Lippi navigating. Pianta would go on to describe this experience as “the most beautiful memory of my
life,” in the 1991 issue of Ferrari World magazine. Tucked away in a private collection for the last 25 years,
06003 is presented today much as it was in that famed rally. Without question, this one-of-a-kind 275 GTB is
one of the most fascinating, charismatic, and distinctive Ferraris of all time.
1963 Ferrari 250 GT SWB Berlinetta ... Estimate: $6,000,000 - $8,000,000
This beautiful SWB Berlinetta, chassis 4037GT, with a history of notable owners and Ferrari Classiche
certification, is a great representation of a very late-production, steel-bodied “Lusso” model. This car offers
exceptional provenance, having been owned by Ferrari collectors such as Eric Stewart, a recording artist who
worked with Sir Paul McCartney, as well as Dr. Carlo Bonomi, an Italian industrialist, sportsman and World
Powerboat Champion with close ties to Ferrari. As the fourth-to-last example made, this SWB offers the
refinements made over the course of the model’s production, including a bigger windshield, more luxurious
seats, and a leather dash. The Ferrari’s iconic coachwork is finished in Rosso (Red) over a Pelle Nera (Black
Leather) interior. Its documented history and late-production features, combined with its classic color
scheme, make this SWB Berlinetta particularly inviting.
1963 Ferrari 250 GT Lusso ... Estimate: $1,600,000 - $1,800,000
The Lusso offered here, chassis 5141GT, is among the all-time great sports car designs and the 133rd of only
350 Lussos ever built. With exceptional coachwork by Pininfarina, the Ferrari 250 GT Lusso has always been
a must-have among astute Ferrari collectors. This Lusso, chassis 5141GT boasts a fascinating provenance
and has been beautifully restored in a dark blue over tan leather interior and has made appearances at
multiple concours, culminating in a Gold Award at the 2007 Ferrari Club of America National Meeting in
Watkins Glen, New York. In the consignor’s care, 5141GT has been shown occasionally as part of an
extensive collection maintained in a climate-controlled private museum. A favorite among those who have
owned it, this impressive Lusso now stands ready to have a new caretaker write its next chapter.
1966 Ferrari 330 GTC ... Estimate: $650,000 - $800,000
A truly outstanding example of the celebrated 330 GTC, a model that many enthusiasts regard as Ferrari’s
most well-rounded gran turismo, this 330 offers timeless coachwork by Pininfarina and exceptional driving
characteristics. In 2008, this 330 GTC was treated to a show-quality restoration performed by respected
California specialists that include The Patrick Ottis Company, Brian Hoyt of Perfect Reflections, and Ken
Nemanic of Vintage Automotive Upholstery. In September 2009, the freshly restored 330 GTC was entered in
the FCA Vintage Concours at the Danville Concours d’Elegance, where it earned a Platinum Award, a
testament to the quality and accuracy of the work completed. Eligible for many of the great driving events and
leading concours, this 330 GTC offers its new owner a wealth of opportunity.
