Chassis:
Completed in June of 1963, this 250 GTO was sold new to Count Volpi for his Scuderia SSS Republica di Venezia. It was entered at Le Mans for Carlo Maria Abate and Fernand Tavano. They failed to finish following an accident. Chassis 4757GT was then raced successfully by Abate in several hillclimbs. In Belgian ownership, it was raced in local events during the 1964 and 1965 seasons. It was then sold to the United States, where it passed through various hands before it was confiscated by the FBI in 1984 after its then owner was indicted for drugs smuggling. It was eventually sold at auction and acquired in the late 1980s by Dutch Ferrari importer Fritz Kroymans. He raced the car extensively until his business empire collapsed and he was forced to sell his collection in 2010.
