As far as Ferrari sports cars are concerned, the legendary '250 GT' series sits head and shoulders above the rest. With a cacophonous 3.0 liter Columbo V12 engine laying underneath one of the most beautiful metal bodies of all time, only earlier this year did a private buyer purchase a rare 1964 Ferrari 250 GTO for a stratostrophic sum of $31.8 million - and it must have been worth every penny.
Marking the 60th anniversary of the series, the Ferrari Museum in Maranello has dedicated a 250 GT exhibit to celebrate and pay tribute to the most iconic Ferrari of all time. Two unique and historically significant Ferraris were prepared for the occasion. First, the #7 250 GT SWB Berlinetta is a decorated veteran in motorsports, driven to four race victories by legendary racing driver Stirling Moss in 1961. Next, the Ferrari museum will also display the Ferrari 250 'Breadvan' shooting-brake, designed by Piero Drogo and Giotto Bizzarrini, and commissioned by Count Volpi di Musurata.
The two rockstar cars are available on display for all Ferrari Museum patrons, but feel free to check out the photo gallery below if a trip to Maranello in the near future does not seem likely:
