Chassis 5113 is the 48th of only 50 Ferrari 330 Americas produced, a transitional grand tourer bridging the 250 GTE and the 330 GT 2+2, powered by a 4.0-litre Colombo V-12 on the GTE's platform. Dispatched from the factory in November 1963 and delivered to Luigi Chinetti Motors in New York, it was retailed through Ferrari Seattle. After a period in storage during the late 1970s, it was restored by Bob Raub under the ownership of Dr. Charles Kirkpatrick, who exhibited it at concours events. It holds Ferrari Classiche certification confirming matching-numbers chassis and engine.
