The Ferrari 250 GT Spyder California was the inspiration of John Von Neumann and Luigi Chinetti, who realized that American buyers wanted a fast, convertible Ferrari sports car. Fourteen California Spyders were built during 1958, and the remaining 36 between 1959 and 1960. Designed by Pinin Farina, they were constructed to full competition specification in small numbers by Carrozzeria Scaglietti in Modena.
This car, chassis number 1073GT, is a covered head-light, steel-bodied long wheelbase model with the 3-liter V12 engine.
