Description
1964 Ferrari 250 GTO (Evocation)
- Chassis: #6149
- US title cleared through customs (846 A)
- French registration pending
- High-quality restoration project carried out by a team of French and British specialists
- Aluminium bodywork
Introduced in 1962, the Ferrari 250 GTO (standing for Gran Turismo Omologata) marked the pinnacle of the Maranello-based firm’s development of front-engined berlinettas for GT racing. Designed under the direction of Giotto Bizzarrini and finalised by Sergio Scaglietti, it is powered by the 3.0-litre Colombo V12 engine, producing around 300 horsepower. Developed to meet the FIA’s homologation requirements for the GT category, the 250 GTO distinguished itself in major events such as the Tour de France Automobile, the 12 Hours of Sebring and the Targa Florio, winning three consecutive World Constructors’ Championships between 1962 and 1964. With only 36 original units produced, this model remains a technical and historical milestone in the landscape of 20th-century sports car production.
The example presented here is a recreation of the Ferrari 250 GTO, built from a 1964 Ferrari 330 GT 2+2 (chassis no. 6149).
Originally delivered to the United States, this car subsequently returned to France before undergoing an ambitious conversion project.
The reconstruction involved fitting a 250 GTO aluminium body supplied by a British specialist.
This was adapted to a 330 GT chassis as part of a complete restoration. Under the supervision of the ‘Le Baron Sellier’ workshops in Rochetaillée, several specialist workshops took part in this incredible project: Garage Kayedjian for the chassis, Bonnefoy for fitting the body to the chassis, and the “Le Baron Sellier” workshops for the bodywork and interior fit-out. The wheelbase was modified to match that of a 250 GTO (2.41 m). The original 4-speed gearbox was replaced by a 5-speed unit.
The 330 engine was completely overhauled by GTO Engineering, which also supplied the wiring harness. Six Weber 38 carburettors from Italy complete the package. These were installed and tuned by the ‘ARS classic’ garage in Le Castelet.
All mechanical components have been fully overhauled: engine, gearbox, running gear, braking system, exhaust, electrical system and upholstery. An expert report accompanies the vehicle and documents the various stages of this restoration project.
It is therefore a faithful recreation of the Ferrari 250 GTO, built on an authentic Ferrari chassis, with the original numbers retained.
Respecting the lines, proportions and spirit of the original model, this faithful recreation pays tribute to one of Ferrari’s most iconic creations.
We are therefore offering you the opportunity to acquire a rare and meticulously crafted recreation of the 250 GTO—a car that embodies both the elegance of classic design and the joy of driving.
Please note, for European buyers, that the process of obtaining a French registration certificate is underway and that a minimum of six months is required.
