This 1957 Ferrari 250 GT Coupe by Boano was delivered new to Milan, and shortly thereafter sent to Guatemala, presumably to the Italian Consulate in Guatemala City for use by the staff. In 1969, it was acquired from British dealer Brian Classic by Robert L. Youngdahl of Prior Lake, Minnesota for $1,900. After executing a rebuild of the car's Columbo V-12, fitting new brakes, and sourcing a new clutch plate for the transmission, Mr. Youngdahl took the Ferrari racing. He regularly drove this 250 GT in competition, most notably at the Brainerd SCCA 100 Miles at the former Donnybrooke Speedway in Brainerd, Minnesota, on June 16 of 1978.
The car remained with Mr. Youngdahl for the remainder of his life. When he passed away in 2012, the car was acquired from his estate by the previous owner as a rust-free example that had never been given a complete, professional restoration. Shortly thereafter, the Boano coupe was dispatched to Italy, where several specialist shops were retained to furnish the car with its first complete and professional restoration. The paint was carefully stripped, revealing a body underneath that was in very good condition. The electrical system was replaced by Gatta and the upholstery by Luppi. More recently, the Ferrari received a no-expense-spared engine rebuild by Frank Buonanno and Matt Carfo at Black Horse Garage in Bridgeport, Connecticut, in January 2016. A month later, it received Best-in-Class honors from the Boca Raton Concours d'Elegance. In January 2017, it was exhibited at the Cavallino XXVI in Palm Beach, Florida. In October 2017, the vehicle returned to Black Horse Garage to receive its present, dark blue and silver paint scheme.By Daniel Vaughan | Sep 2018
