Chassis Num: 1813GT   Ferrari 250 GT SWB with chassis number 1813GT is a all alloy Berlinetta Competizione racer and the 13th one constructed. It was finished in May of 1960 and is a left hand drive vehicle. It was outfitted with a 214F Tipo engine with three 40 DCL/6 Weber carburetors. Its first owner was Pietro Ferraro who actively raced the vehicle during the 1960 and 1961 seasons. Its first race was at the 1960 Targa Florio where the car wore number 206 and was driven by Ferraro and Armando Zampiero. It managed to finish the long and grueling race in a respectable 18th position overall. The next outing was a hillclimb event where the car was driven to a Third in Class victory. The car was driven in the 1961 and 1962 Targa Florio race. The 1962 running of the race, the car was driven by its next owner, F. Crispi. The car remained in Crispi's possession for a number of years before it was sold to Trivellato in 1969. John Risch of New Jersey became the vehicles next owner who kept the car for fifteen years before selling it to Robert Baker. The purchase by Baker was an excellent investment; when he sold the car two years later he netted over $600. The price of the vehicle would continue to escalate; its history in the Targa Florio race plus its excellent pedigree has made this car worth millions. It is seen here on the grounds of the Breakers Hotel located in West Palm Beach Florida. It was being shown by its owner at the Cavallino Classic. By Daniel Vaughan | Feb 2007
