The Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa, developed in early 1957, had a new 3.0-liter V-12 engine designed by Gioacchino Colombo installed in a chassis based on the earlier Ferrari 500 TRC. The first prototype made its racing debut in the 1,000 kilometers at the Nurburgring, and the Testa Rossa that followed helped to secure Ferrari's important place in sports car history.
In July 1958, this car was shipped from the Ferrari factory to John Von Neumann's dealership in California for its first owner, Dick Morgensen of Phoenix, Arizona. From the end of 1958 through the 1960 season, Morgensen campaigned the car all over California and Arizona with considerable success. It was then bought by Bill Rudd of Reno in 1976, and then in 1979 purchased by Louis Sellyei of Reno and raced by him in the United States and in Europe until 2001. During that time, in 1984, Phil Hill drove it at Laguna Seca. It was sold to Carlos Hank in 2002; its current owners, who bought it in 2008, have driven it on rallies and in races since then. It has just returned from Italy following a complete restoration preserving all of the original components.
