Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Chrome spoke Borranis, Dunlop blackwall tires, outside plug engine, disc brakes, leather upholstery.

Condition

Erratic design with the 250 GT nose and a sexy, curved greenhouse and tail in the coupe aerodinamica style, a car that looks ordinary from the front and seductive from the back although the low, chunky rear bumper belongs on an impostor. Freshly restored to better than new. Excellent paint, chrome and interior. Fresh and sharp underbody. Pebble Beach 2001 class winner, 2002 FCA National Platinum and no worse for the passage of a dozen years than it was then. Impressive provenance including Lorenzo Zambrano and John Mecom, Jr.

Market commentary

The coachbuilt 250 GT enjoyed hype and brought a superior price for a car that will, seen approaching on the road, be dismissed by all but the most discerning onlookers as 'just another 250 GT' until it passes and they do a quick double-take at the shapely posterior.
