Ferrari introduced their legendary 250 GT series at the 1956 Geneva Motor Show. Many believe this was the company's first true series-produce model. Ferrari displayed two versions of the new model at the company's display, a cabriolet bodied by Boano and a Pinin Farina-designed Berlinetta. The coupe production was ultimately taken on by Boano, which clothed the chassis in its own variation of the show car's coachwork. It is not entirely clear why Pinin Farina did not create the coupes; some believe that Ferrari was loathed to take on the coachbuilder's minimum production order of 500 cars. Others believe that it was because Pinin Farina was in the midst of building a new factory and did not yet have the capacity for such a sizeable order.Though Boano earned the contract for the 250 GT coupe production, Pinin Farina did receive four chassis for individual coachwork. They were subsequently clothed in Superamerica-style bodies and given their own chassis designation, no. 513.
Chassis number 0465 GT was delivered to Pinin Farina for coachwork in August of 1956. It is the second of four examples of chassis type 513. It has a Superamerica-style body without fender vents and finished in Cassa Blu Genziana paint with a Pelle Naturale interior of Connolly leather.
In 2012, this vehicle was offered for sale at the Amelia Island sale presented by RM Auctions. It was estimated to sell for $1,300,000 - $1,600,000. As bidding came to a close, the car had been sold for $1,430,000 inclusive of buyer's premium.

Ferrari 0465 was one of four prototypes in the 410 SA style body built on a SWB. It was built for Mr. Nassi, a director of Fiat and member of the Agnelli family of Fiat. Mr. Nassi wanted a 'wolf in sheeps clothing' so the engine was a competition engine or to the TDF specs. The interior, gauges and seats were to his special order and are unique. This car was raced at the Nurburgring in the late 1950s and 60s. It was restored in 1984-1990.
