Gooding & Company Amelia Island, March 6-7, 2025

    400 SUPERAMERICA, S/N 4251 SA (1963). Silver with green leather. Estimate $2.5 million to $3 million. Completed in February 1963, with covered-headlights and originally finished in Oro Longchamps over black Connolly leather upholstery. Shipped Luigi Chinetti Motors, and unveiled at the 7th New York International Auto Show, in April 1963. Sold later that year to its first owner in Chicago. During the late 1960s and 1970s, 4251 SA passed through several American enthusiasts, was repainted burgundy, and eventually settled in California around 1980. In 2003, collector Peter McCoy acquired it after a search for an ideal 400 Superamerica to restore. He commissioned Motion Products, Inc., to restore the Aerodinamico. A no-expense-spared restoration addressed cosmetic and mechanical elements, documented by a collection of invoices and correspondence. Mr. McCoy selected the period-correct color scheme. Following completion in 2005, it earned multiple platinum awards. The current owner acquired 4251 SA from Mr. McCoy in 2021 and it benefits from considerable mechanical attention. Extensive dossier includes a history report, restoration records, articles, original 1963 New York International Auto Show program and copies of factory build sheets. Lot 127. Sold for $2.54 million.

     375 MM BERLINETTA, S/N 0472 AM (1955). Red with tan leather. Estimate $8 million to $10 million. Completed in February 1955, it was shipped to San Francisco on April 9th. Mr. Ducato arrived with a photographer to record the unloading and uncrating process of his new Ferrari. Not long after, Ducato repainted the Ferrari in a single shade of royal blue, as the light, metallic Azzurro color was “not bright enough”. The 375 MM was not really all that suitable for daily transportation in 1950s San Francisco. Around 1958 Ducato traded it back to Chinetti for a more appropriate road car. Chinetti eventually found a new owner in Norman N. Thompson of Malibu, California. Thompson apparently repainted the Ferrari in racing red and drove it throughout the 1960s. When Fred Leydorf purchased 0472 AM in California during the summer of 1969, the 15-year-old Ferrari had already covered some 50,000 miles. Over the next few decades, Mr. Leydorf worked on the 375 MM as time allowed. The restoration was completed to make its debut at the 2006 Pebble Beach Concours.  In the years since, Mr. Leydorf displayed the Ferrari selectively, receiving Best of Show Foreign at the 2019 Concours d’Elegance and the Pavilion Award at the 2022 Cincinnati Concours d’Elegance. Lot 154. Sold for $9.47 million.
