The numbers-matching GTO was offered with its original engine, gearbox, rear axle and factory Series II body
after two decades in the collection of noted businessman, Ferrari enthusiast, and vintage race driver Gregory
Whitten, Dr. Whitten commented:
“My journey with the 250 GTO has come to an end, but I am excited to see how this fantastic car is enjoyed
by the new owner. They will have seen the seemingly unbelievable list of superlatives that are used to
describe it – legendary, historic, holy grail – but I can assure them that once they get behind the wheel, they
will understand that every one of them is true.”
The remarkable 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO, chassis no. 3413GT, is the third of a mere 36 examples built, and
arguably one of the purest and best of the breed. The GTO began its life as a Series I automobile and was
used as a test car by Phil Hill for the 1962 Targa Florio road race, before proceeding to win 1st in class at the
event for the next two years. This led the car to claim the 1962 Italian National GT Championship, with
victories in 9 out of 10 races.
