The four-seater, production Ferrari 250 GTE was introduced in 1960 and was equipped with Ferrari's latest outside-plug engine and four-wheel Dunlop disc brakes. This particular 2+2 grand touring car was completed in February of 1961. It was the 64th example of 299 Series I cars, which were distinguished by grille-mounted driving lights, three-lens taillamps, and a unique instrument panel. It was delivered new to an Italian owner, passed through Germany before being exported to the United States in the 1970s. In 1985, it was acquired by Howard Silverman of Villanova, Pennsylvania who retained the car for 21 years while commissioning numerous restoration measures. The exterior was repainted red, the interior was reupholstered with tan leather, and the mechanical systems were refreshed as needed.
In 2006, the GTE was sold to Al Zemke of Oregon. It was occasionally displayed at local shows. It was sold to DriverSource of Houston, Texas in 2012, and in 2014 ownership passed to a private collection in the Houston area.By Daniel Vaughan | Oct 2016
