Ferrari 250 GTE 2+2<\/h2>\n
\n

The 250 GTE was Ferrari’s first four seat model and the idea was successful enough to evolve into a series of Ferrari 2+2s that used the same engineering as the sports cars. As these were made for grand touring, the GTE was marketed as a luxurious car.\u00a0<\/span>To accommodate two additional seats, Ferrari had to move the engine and auxiliaries 12 inches forward and extend the bodywork the same amount compared to the previous 250. The wheelbase remained the same, but the additional mass added 170 lbs to the car.<\/p>\n

As for performance, most journalists in the 60s had little complaints. The car handled in a neutral fashion and speeds of 130 mph could be attained with little trouble.\u00a0In 1963 the 250 GTE was replaced by the 330 America<\/a> which remained much the same except a four-liter V12.<\/p>\n

The car does not smoke, shows good oil pressure and works well. The body is in a very healthy state and shows no signs of rust. This is a Series III, and has the fog lights on both sides of the grille. The car has an ASI registration and comes in a better than average overall condition. Long shunned by collectors, this model is now experiencing renewed attention, which is deservedly so, though prices still remain very affordable as compared to other Ferrari road cars, but for how long?\u00a0Auction Source: <\/b>2012 Artcurial Motorcars \u00e0 R\u00e9tromobile<\/a><\/p>\n

1963 Ferrari 250 GTE 4217GT<\/a> – sold for $154,000.\u00a0<\/b>The 250 GTE pictured here was completed by the factory in January 1963 and was delivered new to its first owner in Vicenza, Italy two months later, finished in grey with a blue interior. Initially serviced and maintained by the factory in Modena, the car was exported to the United States in 1970 and went through several changes of ownership in California before the engine was rebuilt by Modena Motors in 1989. When the car was finally sold in 2004, it had been in the same ownership since 1979.<\/p>\n

\n
\n

The current owner acquired the car out of New York before spending in excess of $60,000 at HESCO in Birmingham, AL to ensure the car was reliable and in perfect mechanical condition. In addition to the extensive mechanical work conducted, there was significant work to the electrical and braking systems as well. Since that time the car has been driven sparingly and stored in a climate controlled garage. HESCO has also indicated to the vendor that the car is a matching numbers example. All of the maintenance records will be available for review in the auction office onsite at Amelia Island.<\/p>\n

Overall, this is a particularly nice example of the 250 GTE. As Ferrari\u2019s first four-seater, it also benefits from a sporting GT appearance. It is a highly desirable alternative to the Aston Martin DB6, but is fitted with the all-important twelve-cylinder engine from the masters in Marane\u00a0Auction Source: <\/b>2010 RM Automobiles of Amelia Island Auction<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
