Chassis 2007 GT is the 53rd example of the Ferrari 250 GT Cabriolet Series II, completed in July 1960 and originally finished in Oro Longchamps over Naturale leather. Delivered via Luigi Chinetti Motors in Connecticut, it passed to Arthur L. Montgomery, CEO of Coca-Cola, before moving through Georgia to subsequent owners. Restored in the mid-1990s to Rosso Corsa with tan leather, it has been in a single collection since 1996 and today retains a well-preserved appearance consistent with its odometer reading.
