There were just 200 examples of the Series II Pinin Farina Cabriolet produced between 1959 and 1962. The asking price of 5,800,000 lire nearly guaranteed its exclusivity. This particular Series II Cabriolet was completed at the factory in May of 1960. It was finished in Grigio Conchiglia (dark gray) with a red vinyl and leather upholstery, an Abarth exhaust system, polished Borrani wire wheels, and Pirelli Cinturato tires.
Melchior Bournique was the first owner who requested the Cabriolet be custom-tailored with side vents, in similar fashion to the Series III 410 Superamerica. The car was also given bumper-mounted driving lights (versus the more usual placement behind the grille) and an optional hardtop.
It is believed that prior to the car being delivered to Mr. Bournique, it was put on display in the XII Rassenga Internazionale dell'Automobile, a concours held in Rome on May 28 and 29, 1960.
On April 18, 1961, the car was sold to Giancarlo Folco of Vicenza. In the 1970s, the car was exported to the United States. During this period, it was given a later 250 engine, 3867 GT, which had original been installed in a 250 GT SWB California Spider.
Mr. Jeffrey D. Rowe of Paris, Texas, and Ontario, Canada, became the car's next owner in 1979 or 1980. In December of 2002, Mr. Rowe structured a trade whereby 3867 GT was reunited with its original engine, while the Series II Cabriolet received a period correct, factory-replacement block fitted with the original, stamped timing case from 1817 GT.
Mr. Rowe sold the car in June of 2009. By this point in history, the car had never been completely restored; it had been repainted and reupholstered. The car retained its original red carpets and original sections of the original Shell Grey paint were discovered beneath the sill plates.
A short time after acquiring the car, the Florida-based owner commissioned a comprehensive, show-quality restoration. Upon completion, the car (wearing its original color scheme) was put on display at the Palm Beach Cavallino Classic in January 2014, where it was awarded an FCA Platinum Award.
This 1960 Ferrari 250 GT Series II Cabriolet is powered by a 2,953cc single overhead camshaft twelve-cylinder engine with three Weber 40 DCL6 carburetors and delivering 240 horsepower at 7,000 RPM. There is a four-speed gearbox with overdrive, Dunlop disc brakes, an independent front suspension, and a live rear axle with semi-elliptic leaf springs.By Daniel Vaughan | Oct 2014
