Ferrari 250 GT Series II Coupé, chassis 1873 GT, is among the final examples of this model produced, featuring the revised outside-plug Tipo 128F engine, all-round disc brakes, and overdrive transmission. Delivered new in May 1960 to a Milanese property developer, it passed through two Florentine owners before export to the United States in the 1970s, where it settled in California by 1979. Retaining its original Grigio paintwork and Nero Connolly leather, it spent an extended period in dry storage from 1999 before coming to market in 2014.

Are you the owner of this car?

This car's public record is built from its auction and competition history. Register your ownership and privately add your own records to make it a verified Legacy Metrics passport — provenance that backs your car's value at sale and gives your insurer evidence to price against. Roy reviews and verifies every registration personally.

Each chassis record is compiled from public auction archives and links to its source material. Ownership, competition and maintenance entries are extracted from those catalogue listings by an LLM, which can make mistakes — please contact us with any corrections. The summary is Legacy Metrics’ own writing; we do not reproduce catalogue text.

“Full” and “partial” documentation labels indicate how well each entry is corroborated in the underlying sources, not an audit of the car’s physical paperwork. Names of recent or living owners are withheld for privacy.
