THE MOTORCAR OFFERED
The 307th of 350 Series II 250 GTEs built, 4001GTwhich rolled off the line right behind the famous Roman Polizia car, chassis 3999GTwas delivered new to Luigi Chinetti Motors of New York in December of 1962. 4001GT has lived a life of comfort and sparing use over the years. Just over 53k believed-to-be original miles are currently indicated on the odometer. Over the course of the last year the car has been extensively refurbished mechanically with the Ferrari experts at Alfa Italia in Burbank, California rebuilding the engine, suspension, transmission, rear end and more. During the work, the transmission case was replaced with a correct unit, but the original case was retained and accompanies the car. With about $80,000 in recent receipts, it is little wonder that the car is described as being an excellent runner and an extremely enjoyable and capable driver.
While a total of 954 250 GTEs built among the three different series, only about 500 are believed to still survive with fewer still retaining their original coachwork. This numbers matching, bone dry, largely preserved and original example, complete with its original books, tools, and fog lights, as well as bales of recent service receipts, its Marcel Massini and Ferrari Market Letter history reports, is the perfect entre into the exclusive world of Colombo V12-powered Ferraris.
