Condition
#3 Good
Runs and drives well. Flaws not noticeable to passersby. Most common condition.
The wheels are pretty rough. Lots of cracking in the mostly original paint, even though it's still shiny. Dull chrome. The upholstery is brand new and perfect, as are the carpets, while the rest of the interior is original and pretty well kept. Clean, orderly mostly original but cleaned up engine compartment with rebuilt carbs. Scratched up exhaust tips. Stored in Colorado for 39 years but recently got new upholstery replacing the destroyed original and a mechanical sorting so it runs and drives (well, according to the consignor.) A driver quality example of essentially the most affordable way to get into a 250-powered Ferrari.
Market commentary
The value of this 250 GTE got a boost from its preservation, although prior experience might have argued against cleaning it up and replacing the upholstery and carpets to capture the full 'barn find' premium. As it is its price represents a realistic compromise between preservation and restoration.
