Chassis 3413 is a 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO that began its competition life with a hillclimb record before being acquired by Neapolitan entrepreneur Corrado Ferlaino in late 1963. Prior to the 1964 season, the car was sent to Scaglietti for a Series II coachwork conversion featuring an extended roofline reminiscent of the 250 LM. At the 1964 Targa Florio, Ferlaino and co-driver Taramazzo took a class victory and fifth overall, contributing points widely credited as decisive to Ferrari's narrow defeat of Shelby's Cobras in that year's International Championship for GT Manufacturers.

The car was returned to Scaglietti's Modena facility under factory instruction and re-bodied from Series I to Series II coachwork, incorporating an extended roofline in the manner of the 250 LM, a more steeply raked windscreen, wider track, and other aerodynamic refinements. No rear spoiler was fitted.
Work was completed approximately three months before the car's first race under Ferlaino's ownership at the Targa Florio.
