RM Sotheby’s | The One – 1962 Ferrari GTO

One of One: Chassis Number 3765 This 330 LM / 250 GTO is also desirably documented with factory records that clarify its early history, including two sets of build sheets (one each for the factory preparation for the Nürburgring and Le Mans), and a third spec sheet that outlines the factory modifications to 250 GTO specifications conducted for privateer racing in May 1963, including installation of the currently fitted engine. Now publicly offered for the first time in 38 years, a period characterized by diligent and fastidious upkeep through almost four decades of single ownership, this truly remarkable GTO is nothing short of a legend. It is known to be the only example campaigned by the Scuderia Ferrari on behalf of SEFAC Ferrari’s ownership. Eligible for major events worldwide, including Le Mans Classic, this stunning GTO offers its next caretaker further touring and vintage racing enjoyment, or display at major concours d’elegance and marque gatherings worldwide. For true automotive connoisseurs, our eyes now tell us what our souls already recognize—that the offering of such an automotive legend as 3765 is a rare moment of opportunity that will transpire faster than the streak of a shooting star, or a flash of lightning. Serious Ferrari collectors are urged to not let this moment slip away without due recognition, for the public availability of such a singular GTO may never repeat itself within our lifetime. This extraordinary chance to acquire the Holy Grail of the sports car pantheon should be relished for the opportunity it is, never to be relinquished to the haunting memory of what might have been.
