Back in 2014, a rare Ferrari 250 GTO fetched a whopping $38 million at Bonhams’ Monterey Auction, making it one of the most exclusive and expensive Ferrari ever sold in an auction. Reportedly, another rare Ferrari 250 GTO has fetched stunning $80 million in a private sale, making it the most expensive car ever sold in an auction.
Only 36 examples of the Ferrari 250 GTO were ever built from 1962-1964 and this particular unit is a 1963 model. The Ferrari, known as 4153 GT won the Tour de France Automobile in 1964, which is one of the world’s most famous and historic motor races.
As per a report on The duPont Registry, the buyer of this rare Ferrari could be David MacNeil, CEO of WeatherTech, the company that makes and sells floor mats and cargo-area covers. MacNeil is known for his love for Ferrari and is a Ferrari collector and driver.
The 1963 Ferrari 250 GTO spent most of its time in Germany and during the 1990s, it was restored by Hertfordshire-based DK Engineering. James Cottingham, a vehicle acquisition specialist at DK Engineering, said: "This is without doubt one of the best 250 GTOs in existence in terms of history and originality.
