Equipment
2953/240hp, 4-speed, Borrani wire wheels, Dunlop Racing tires, woodrim steering wheel, later air conditioning, Superamerica-style hood scoop.
Condition
#3 Good
Runs and drives well. Flaws not noticeable to passersby. Most common condition.
Owned for over 40 years by Wayne Sparking, a senior NART technician, restored under his ownership and represented as the matching-numbers engine. Good but older color change repaint from the original Nocciola (Hazelnut) with orange peel in a couple of spots and a masking error above the rear glass. Slightly imperfect panel fit. Good interior but the A/C vents look a little out of place in a `60s gran turismo. Lightly used underneath. The tires look older. By Ferrari standards, even a "regular" old 250 GT, it's not a great car but is still a perfectly good, usable one.
Market commentary
If, as Wayne Sparling did, you lived in the middle of Florida adding air conditioning didn't take much consideration back when a Pf Coupe was worth barely six-figures and it wanted to be driven on a regular basis. In this case the A/C remains a tribute to Sparling's skill and his sympathetic approach to old Ferraris as cars, not objects of veneration. This result might be a little generous, but it's an ex-Wayne Sparling car which earns it more respect.
