1963 Ferrari 250 GTO Berlinetta

  • Chassis Number: 4757GT
This Ferrari 250GTO is considered one of the most prestigious of all Ferraris. This was the car that summed up Ferrari's philosophy best: the highest levels of performance and styling. Created by a team that was led by Giotto Bizzarrini, it owes its lines to research that was born in a wind tunnel. Its reputation came not only from its innumerable racing victories: including 1962, 1963 and 1964; Manufacturers Championships; but from the unique sum of its parts, stunning looks, a highly competitive chassis, and a thoroughbred 3-liter V12 engine generating 300 horsepower. There were 36 Ferrari 250 GTOs built and all still in existence today.

This 250 GTO, engine number 4757GT, was originally purchased on June 5th of 1963 to Count Volpi's Scuderia Serenissima Repubblica di Venezia. It was received just in time to run at Le Mans. The drivers at Le Mans were Fernand Tavano and Carlo Abate and the car was leading the GT category shortly after midnight when Abate lost control and crashed at White House. The car initially had an oblong bug deflector on the left side of the bonnet and from this a tunnel led to the cockpit ventilation inlet. After Le Mans the car was fitted with D-shaped scoops on top of each of the front wings, just ahead of the windscreen, to provide additional cockpit ventilation. Jacques Swaters bought the car in 1964, and almost immediately sold it to George Marquet. 1965 was the end of the 4757's competition history when it was bought by Jacques Swaters again. John Calley of the United States purchased the car in 1966 and then had numerous owners through 1987. In 1985 the FBI seized the car and held it for unknown reasons for a couple of years before being sold back to Jacques Swaters a third time.
