There were 39 250 GTO's produced between 1962 and 1964, are considered to be on of Enzo Ferrari's greatest masterpieces. Bizzarrini had a major role in the development work. He spent many hours at wind tunnels perfecting the body of the GTO. The result was a top speed of 170 mph.

The 128F 3.0-liter Colombo V-12, used in the Test Rossa, was selected. It was an aluminum engine with magnesium cam covers, six 38 DCN Weber carburetors, and a dry sump oil system.

This combination was good enough for first and second in the GT class at the 12-Hours of Sebring. Phil Hill and Oliver Gendebien were the drivers.

The first owner of 3943GT was Pierre Noblet, who owned it from October of 1962 through 1965. It was then sold to Robert Neyret, who held the car until 1968 when he sold it to Thepenier. Thepenier was the owner of 3943GT until 1983 when he sold it to Tom Price.

In 1963 through 1964, this 250 GTO entered eight races finishing in the top five in seven of these races and finished 1st overall in two. This example has received many awards at various Concours d'Elegance showing since 1984.
