NEW YORK (November 14, 2023) – A Ferrari 330 LM / 250 GTO by Scaglietti hammered down for $51.7 Million at a private sale held by RM Sotheby’s at its New York auction house, becoming the most valuable Ferrari ever sold at auction.
It was the first time in 38 years that the GTO had been publicly offered, a period characterized by diligent and fastidious upkeep through almost four decades of single ownership. It is known to be the only example campaigned by the Scuderia Ferrari on behalf of SEFAC Ferrari’s ownership.
Accompanying the sale were factory records clarifying its early history, including two sets of build sheets (one each for the factory preparation for the Nürburgring and Le Mans), and a third spec sheet that outlines the factory modifications to 250 GTO specifications conducted for privateer racing in May 1963, including installation of the currently fitted engine.
