Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

2,953/240hp, 4-speed, chrome spoke Borrani wire wheels, Michelin Pilote X tires, behind the grille fog lights, identification with block letter Ferrari and chrome cavallino above the grille, woodrim steering wheel, seven dash switches, six dash gauges plu

Condition

A specially configured Pf Coupe, one of two built. Delivered to Carlo Vitale, its counterpart went to his partner Dr. Enrico Wax of Wax & Vitale, Johnnie Walker importer for Italy. Retained for only a few months, sold to Chinetti and displayed at the 1959 Chicago Auto Show. Restored by RPM in the early 00''''s, recently freshened by Patrick Ottis. Very good older paint with minor cracks below the C-pillars and small stone chips on the nose. Lightly stretched upholstery, clear and crisp gauges. Orderly engine compartment and chassis showing some age but little use. An attractive and well-restored Pf Coupe.

Market commentary

Pinin Farina''''s elegant, refined coupe for the 250 GT chassis is a milestone of design and also an example of Ferrari''''s recognition that steady production of a luxury GT could return big profits for the company. The Pf Coupe was so well-conceived that it quickly translated into a beautiful cabriolet. Overlooked for years, the Pf Coupe has recently seen remarkable value increases and why this well-presented example didn''''t bring more than the parsimonious bid here is difficult to understand. Maybe it''''s the rather splashy exterior identification, which is inconsistent with the Pf Coupe''''s otherwise restrained decoration. It is no surprise that it didn''''t sell at this bid, the final one of twenty that pushed into overtime several times. The bidders and the seller just had different opinions of its value.
