1958 Ferrari 250 GT Pinin Farina Cabriolet Series 1

This 1958 Ferrari 250 GT is one of only 40 ever built. Its body style is almost identical to that of a 250 California, the car that was the subject of the movie “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off”. This car won “Most Elegant Car” at the Santa Fe Concorso in September 2011. This car was the showcar at the Geneva Salon in 1958. Only one with this type of rear bumper. Shown by invitation at The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering in 2007.

The Ferrari 250 is a series of sports cars and grand tourers built by Ferrari from 1952 to 1964. The company’s most successful early line, the 250 series includes many variants designed for road use or sports car racing. 250 series cars are characterized by their use of a 3.0 L (2,953 cc) Colombo V12 engine designed by Gioacchino Colombo. Succeeded by the 275 and 330 series cars.

Ferrari 250 GT Engine

Nearly all 250s share the same Colombo Tipo 125 V12 engine. At 2,953 cc (180 cu in), it was notable for its light weight and impressive output of up to 300 PS (221 kW; 296 hp) in the Testa Rossa and GTO. The V12 weighed hundreds of pounds less than its chief competitors — for example, it was nearly half the weight of the Jaguar XK straight-6.^[1] Ferrari uses the displacement of a single cylinder as the model designation. The V12 propelled the Ferrari 250 racing cars to numerous victories.

Ferrari produced about 36 examples before a second series was shown at Paris in 1959. These later cars had more in common with the production Berlinetta. Motor Trend Classic placed the 250 GT Series I Cabriolet and Coupé ninth on their list of the ten “Greatest Ferraris of all time”.

1965 Ferrari 275 GTB – Short Nose

Introduced at the 1964 Paris Auto Show, the 275 GTB represented significant advances over the 250 GT Lusso that it replaced. The styling was more exciting and rakish, and mechanically, the cars were much more sophisticated. Independent suspension was fitted all around for the first time on a road-going Ferrari, and a 5-speed gearbox was also included in the specification. The transmission was mounted at the rear of the car for improved weight distribution in a transaxle. These features combined with the larger and more powerful 3.3 liter engine meant that the 275 GTB was a markedly faster and more capable car than any other mainstream roadgoing Ferrari before it. That it was and remains achingly beautiful is further icing on the cake.

With just 250 short nose examples built, the 275 GTB is considerably rarer than other desirable Ferraris including the Lusso (350 examples built) and the Daytona (over 1200 examples built). Certainly among the most beautiful Ferrari road cars ever, 275s have enjoyed tremendous appreciation, and this is an an outstanding example of these very significant Ferrari road cars.
