... where you find your dream car

SANTA MONICA, Calif., 15 July, 2015

Gooding & Company, the official auction house of the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance®, is pleased to announce the addition of three unparalleled limited-edition Ferraris to its sale in August – a 1961 250 GT SWB California Spider, a 1957 410 Superamerica Series II Coupe, and a 1965 500 Superfast.


1961 Ferrari 250 GT SWB California Spider ... Estimate $16,000,000-$18,000,000
Just the mere mention of the words “California Spider” to an automotive enthusiast rouses emotions of the perfect motoring experience. This car features striking drop-top styling by Scaglietti, a spectacular Colombo 3.0-litre V-12 engine, and race-bred performance. This Ferrari feels as at home on the track as it does showcased in front of your picturesque Italian villa.
Though any 250 GT California Spider can be highly praised and lauded for their exclusivity, chassis
3095GT is one of only 37 covered-headlight SWB examples. 3095GT boasts FIVA and ASI certification, a Ferrari Classiche-department issued Red Book, as well as a noteworthy and well-documented ownership history.
This is the first time 3095GT has been made available for public sale in the United States since the 1960s. Unlike many top-tier Ferraris, 3095GT has not yet been the subject of a full restoration, nor has it made the rounds at various concours d’elegance, offering its new owner the pleasure of being the first to exhibit this 250 Ferrari at the most exclusive international events.

1957 Ferrari 410 Superamerica Series II Coupe ... Estimate $5,000,000-$6,000,000
Every Ferrari produced since the company’s inception is a performance vehicle worth owning, but Enzo Ferrari made it his mission to create limited-quantity variations of his namesake vehicle to appeal to his expansive roster of upmarket, high-profile clientele. This 410 met those expectations with impeccable coachwork by Pinin Farina, handsomely finished in Grigio Metallizzato (Metallic Grey) with a striking red roof and an interior swathed in red Connolly leather. At the heart of this exotic is the Aurelio Lampredi-derived 4.9-liter V-12 engine, capable of propelling its driver to speeds in excess of 150 mph, also making the 410 Superamerica the fastest road-going sports car available in its day.

Upscale clientele were immediately attracted to the Superamericas. The vehicle presented here, chassis 0717SA, has a royal history stemming from the initial purchase by HRH Mohammad Shah Reza Pahlevi of Iran. Then, following his divorce in 1958 from the glamorous Princess Soraya, née Soraya Esfandiari-Bakhtiari, 0717SA remained with her, reportedly as a parting gift. The Ferrari eventually made its way to the United States, taking on a Ferrari concours career in the late 70s, with consecutive showings at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance® in 1977 and 1978, when 0717SA was awarded First in Class. Beautifully restored under its present ownership, proceeds of the sale of this exceptional Ferrari will benefit an important foundation that provides funds to schools and universities for scholarships to students in need of financial aid.
The Superamerica is revered by all Ferrari enthusiasts, and the rare 410 embodies Enzo Ferrari’s dedication to exclusivity.

1965 Ferrari 500 Superfast ... Estimate $3,000,000-$3,400,000
Unveiled at the 1964 Geneva Auto Salon, the 500 Superfast was the last in a series of ultra-exclusive Ferrari road cars, built in limited numbers for the world’s elite. With coachwork by Pininfarina and an interior dressed in the finest Connolly hides, one can understand why many of these vehicles have such prominent ownership histories. Chassis
6049SF is no exception, with initial ownership records that begin with Prince Sadruddin Aga Khan, who acquired the vehicle new in 1965.
Formerly part of the famed Bardinon collection, in 2013 the car underwent a fastidious two-year restoration. Wayne Obry’s renowned Motion Products Inc. (MPI) was commissioned to perform a comprehensive, show-quality restoration that would return the car to its former splendor. No expense was spared to ensure that 6049SF would be a serious contender on the concours circuit. The Superfast, tastefully finished in dark blue with red leather upholstery, is ornate in every detail, from its polished Borrani wire wheels to the custom-made three-piece fitted luggage set.
Since its restoration by Obry, a foremost marque expert, 6049SF has been shown selectively. The quality and accuracy of the presentation has garnered a Ferrari Club of America Platinum Award at the Palm Beach Cavallino Classic, as well as an invitation to the prestigious Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance®, where the 500 Superfast was displayed among the Ferrari Grand Touring Class in August 2014.
