1955 Ferrari 250 Europa GT Coupe

A variety of road and racing cars bore the 250 GT name. They were all built on a tubular-steel chassis. The first Ferrari 250 GT was bodied by Pinin Farina and shown to the public at the 1953 Paris Auto Salon, where it caused a sensation.

The 250 GT Europa and successor 250 GT Boano/Ellena cars had a wheelbase of 102 inches. It was a replacement for the 212 inter and shared the same chassis as the 375 America. The engine was a Colombo-designed three-liter V12, and the transmission was an all-synchromesh four-speed. The top speed was about 130 mph, and the cars were priced at $12,800 in the United States. This 250GT Europa was a special design by coachbuilder Pinin Farina with a flatter ellipse grille and a large prancing horse in the center. The tips of the fenders were also pulled out and elliptical taillights were vertically mounted. This car was found in a garage in Burbank, CA, where it had been covered and unused for 30 years.

Ferrari 250 Europa GT Coupe with chassis number 0407GT is a Series 2 Pininfarina creation built with left-hand drive configuration. It is the 26th of 43 Ferrari 250 Europa GTs built and the sixth of eight custom-bodied by Pinin Farina. The car has several unique features, including an elongated low nose, a front grille containing dual fog lamps, and an unusual circle. It also sports a rather unique Connolly leather interior in bright orange, tailored by Hermes in Paris. It was originally sold to Vincenzo Ferrario in Rome before going to the United States, where it was bought by Hal Rudow of Seattle, who actually won a race with the car at a Sports Car Club of America event at Shelton Airbase in March 1960 - the car's first and only competitive outing.
