    250 GT PF CABRIOLET SERIES II, S/N 1879 GT (1960). Bare metal. Estimate $1million to $1.3 million. Delivered new to Prince Alessandro “Dado” Ruspoli. Built in spring 1960, and the certificate of origin was issued on June 30. Originally finished in Grigio Conchiglia with red upholstery. It is believed that during production, 1879 GT and another Grigio Conchiglia Cabriolet, chassis 1911 GT, exchanged identities. Originally assigned Pinin Farina body no. 29732, chassis 1879 GT today bears body no. 29736, the body number that was originally assigned to chassis 1911 GT. Similarly, the entire driveline installed in 1879 GT – including the engine, gearbox, and differential – features internal numbers that correspond with 1911 GT’s build records. Prince Ruspoli sold 1879 GT to Roberto Graziani and Liberato Bruti Liberati. It then passed into the hands of another Roman owner in 1962. In May 1963, the Ferrari was sold to Robert John Wagner, the American actor. When he returned to the US in 1965, Mr. Wagner enlisted his agent to sell on his behalf. The Ferrari remained in Italy until 1969, when it was shipped to San Francisco. Upon its arrival in California, 1879 GT was sold to an Oakland resident. By 1979, ownership had passed to Donald Nichols. Mr. Nichols carefully disassembled and stripped the Pinin Farina body to bare metal in preparation for a complete restoration. The project never proceeded past these initial stages and, for the past three decades, the Ferrari was kept in static storage. Recently acquired by the consignor and presented as it was discovered in Mr. Nichols’ garage. 70,000 km. Lot 171. Sold for $940,000. Gooding & Company.

Borrani wire wheels, air conditioning, Becker Europa radio, and electric windows. First delivered in Italy, it was relocated to the US by the 1970s, where it has remained since. The car spent nearly 40 years on the West Coast, during which time it received a comprehensive restoration. At that time, the car was repainted in dark blue and the interior retrimmed in parchment leather with Blu Scuro carpets. The restoration was completed in 2016. Lot 32. Sold for $379,000.

     275 GTB/4, S/N 9689 (1967). Red with black interior. Estimate $3 million to $3.5 million. Completed in March 1967, finished in Blu Chiaro with black Connolly leather and light gray carpets. Destined for sale in Switzerland. Campagnolo alloy wheels, electric windows and headrests. Delivered new to Garage Italauto SA, in Lausanne, to Swiss racing driver Jo Siffert. After a brief period, he sold to Paul Blancpain. By September 1968, it had covered 18,000 km and visited Assistenza Clienti on three occasions. In October 1968, it was sold to its third owner, who had it repainted red. It is believed that it remained with the third Swiss owner until 1972, when it was exported to the US. In 1973, exotic car dealer Vintage Car Store in Nyack advertised it for sale. It was sold the following year to Donald Millard, Jr. By the late 1980s, it was retired from regular use, and driven and serviced occasionally, before being relegated to static storage approximately 25 years ago. It remained in Mr. Millard’s ownership for half a century. Driven sparingly since 1974 and stored for decades, it has survived in a largely original, unrestored condition. Its paintwork, applied in the late 1960s, is lightly lacquer-checked and cracking in areas. The original leather upholstery is preserved. The small-diameter, 1970s-era steering wheel, stereo speakers, and bumper-mounted driving lights are the only deviations from its original specification. Original glass, period seat belts. The odometer shows fewer than 64,000 km (approximately 40,000 miles). Vehicle has been in long-term static storage and may not be currently operational. It will require mechanical attention prior to road use. Lot 121. Sold for $2.9 million. Gooding & Company.

The Daytona Spyder saw limited use over the next four decades and remained in the hands of its second owner until 2014, when it joined a Greenwich-based collection. The third owner made the decision to return the car to its original Verde Bahram livery, having covered 7,000 miles from new. Since this work was completed in 2015, it has been shown selectively.
