Ferrari 250 GTO

The Mona Lisa of classic cars. The Ferrari 250 GTO appears once more at Simply Petrol. This time, our special guest is chassis number #3387GT Berlinetta. It was the second Ferrari 250 GTO that was built at Maranello. That same car was also used as a test car at Monza by the Scuderia Ferrari. After that, it was sold to Luigi Chinetti Motors in New York.

The certificate of origin dates from 16th of March 1962. A week after that it finished second overall and first in class at Sebring, driven by Phill Hill and Olivier Genadebien. As any of these beauties, the history of Ferrari 250 GTO #3387 is very well documented. Right after its impressive inaugural competition, Chinetti Motors sold the car to Robert Grossman with some special preparations for Le Mans already done. Under its new ownership, the car finished 6th overall and 3rd in class in '62 Le Mans with Bob Grossman and George Roberts Jr. behind the wheel.

Then #3387 lost its original metallic blue paint in favour of classic Ferrari red, even though the racing stripes were kept. Because it's one of the first 250 GTOs, it underwent some modifications including front brake ducts, blinkers relocation to fender and gas filler movement. All of these changes later became standard for all 250s to come out of Maranello.

"Ferrari 250 GTO is the ultimate Grand Touring car of the 60s … or, some might well argue, of all time."
Phill Hill

As of today (June 2019) chassis #3387 is looking for its new owner through the services of Ferrari experts of Talacrest. Meanwhile, another 250 GTO smashed the most expensive classic car record heavily with a price tag of $70 million, paid by an American collector.

If you want to spend some time and enjoy the eternal beauty of this car, our Ferrari 250 GTO #3387 art is emitting dynamism, piece of mystery and the classic elegance of its silhouette. Skillfully created by Artem Halko and delicately produced by Simply Petrol.
