1954 250 Monza PF Spyder s/n 0432M
The car was built with a Colombo 3.0L V-12 engine and driven to victory by Maurice Trintignant and its original owner, Luigi Piotti, in its first race at the 12 Hours of Hyères in 1954. At the 1955 Mille Miglia, the most prestigious road race in the world, Erasmo Simeoni (Kammamuri) piloted 0432M to 15th place overall, driving solo without a co-driver. From 1954 to 1957, this Ferrari 0432M was fitted with a Pininfarina body. In 1957, the car was delivered to renowned Ferrari coachbuilder Sergio Scaglietti, who fitted it with a pontoon fender-style body similar to that of the 250 Testa Rossa. Luigi Chinetti had 0432M painted in the North American Racing Team (N.A.R.T.) livery of white with a deep blue stripe and imported it into the United States as a 1959 model. The Monza was displayed at the 1960 New York Auto Show, where it won first prize. In the March 1961 issue of Road & Track magazine, 0432M was listed as a Ferrari Super Monza, and it has also been affectionately referred to as “The American Testa Rossa.” The car was awarded as Best of Show Competition in 2016 at Palm Beach Cavallino Classic.
1956 250 Berlinetta LWB s/n 0515 GT
This example was built in just over two months in 1956 on a V12-powered 250 GT long-wheelbase Berlinetta Ferrari, transformed into a rolling sculpture with its spectacular double-bubble roof, a signature feature of Zagato. Over the years, this Ferrari also claimed victory in numerous races, including the 1957 Garessio-San Bernardo Hillclimb and the 1958 Molino-Cocconato Hillclimb. In 1996, the Ferrari was featured on the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance poster and program, which honored Zagato. The 250 made its debut at Palm Beach Cavallino Classic in 2003, where it won a Platinum Award. After participating in the Mille Miglia, the 250 won the Best of Show award at Palm Beach Cavallino Classic in 2018.
1958 250 GT PF s/n 0813
The Ferrari 250 GT PF Cabriolet S1 0813GT, a truly iconic example of Ferrari’s craftsmanship, was completed in April 1958. Initially sold in Nice, France, the car soon crossed the Atlantic, arriving in Florida before making its way to Pennsylvania. In 1986, the car found a new home in New York, where it underwent a full restoration, including a respray in a rich burgundy and tan color scheme. In the mid-2000s, the owner entrusted the car to a specialist for another complete restoration, which included refinishing the body in burgundy and brown, as well as adding bumperettes for added authenticity. The 250 GT PF then triumphed at Palm Beach Cavallino Classic in 2008, winning the Best Of Show Gran Turismo award.
1966 Dino 206 S s/n 026
The 206 S can be described as a scaled-down version of the 330 P3. As an evolution of the 206 SP, it underwent a meticulous weight reduction program. At its heart was a two-liter, 65-degree V6 engine with dual overhead camshafts, featuring newly designed combustion chambers directly derived from Ferrari’s Formula 1 expertise. Chassis #026 was delivered by Ferrari in early 1967 to Scuderia Filipinetti, with the goal of competing in the 12 Hours of Sebring. Just a few months later, in May 1967, the car was piloted by Jean Guichet and Peter Müller at the Nürburgring. However, during free practice, it suffered a sudden fire that severely damaged both the engine and the driver’s compartment. The wrecked Dino was subsequently acquired and remained in a prestigious collection for over a decade. In the early 1980s, Cupellini restored the car for racing purposes, and it returned to the track, competing for nearly two decades. In 2025, the 206 S won the Best of Show Competition award at Palm Beach Cavallino Classic.
Stay tuned: more treasures from the Legacy Class will soon be revealed, each one awaiting its moment to shine at the 35th Palm Beach Cavallino Classic.
