1962 Ferrari 250 GTO Berlinetta Coupe

The Ferrari 250GTO uses a tubular frame and alloy body weighing less than 2,000 pounds. Under the hood is a 296 horsepower 3-liter V-12 with six Weber carburetors mated to a five-speed manual transmission.

Chassis number 3527 is the 17th of 36 Series I GTOs produced. It was originally delivered to Garage Francorchamps of Belgium on September 10, 1962. Two weeks after delivery, it competed n the 1962 Tour de France race; leading by a large margin until a milk truck pulled out in front of it destroying the nose of the car. The nose was removed and the car still managed to finish 7th. One month later it finished 5th in the Paris 1000km. Still later, the car was converted for street use, spending most of its life in England.
