1960 Ferrari 250 GT Pininfarina Series II Cabriolet

Vehicle Description 1960 Ferrari 250 GT Call "1960 Ferrari 250 GT Pininfarina Series II Cabriolet Coupe When most people think Ferrari they immediately go to the sleek magnificently designed low slung mid engined aero sports car of the modern day. Well on the contrary there was a time when Ferrari was struggling to fund the racing effort and Enzo realized he needed a car that would appeal to the masses, but still had a touch of class. Enter the series production Ferrari 250 with a design collaboration with Pininfarina. Let's go racing....again. For consignment a very classy coupe/convertible two seater, which presents in immaculate condition. This luscious Italian collaboration checks all the boxes with a single headlight atop a perfectly curved fender flanking an oval grille, hood scoop, shiny rockers, beautiful paint, leather interior, and an immaculately preserved convertible top, with wire wheels on each corner. Eccoci qui! Exterior With a mere 14,159 miles, covered from head to toe in Verde Seabird, this paint is flying high on the quality scale. With the Scuderia dancing horse leading the way, we see a black egg crate oval shaped grille complete with some extra touring lighting. On either side atop a perfectly rounded over and just the right curved fender there is a single headlight on either corner. A long front quarter design, in the middle is a hood with a chrome edged hood scoop. A gleaming chrome trimmed windshield creates the front framing for the black canvas top which moves up and down flawlessly. Door gaps are fab, chrome and trimmings all perfect, and the rear of the car is looking a lot like the modern day MG with vertical tail lights flanking the trunk lid and a chromed lower bumper wrapping around the rear quarters and framing the lower trunk. Gorgeous and very appropriate chromed wire knock off hub wheels adorn each corner. Now we are sporting with ultimate class. Interior Not to be outdone by the exterior we slip inside this 2 seater and perch on one of two overstuffed bomber style buckets, covered in rich saddle colored leather in perfect unison with the metallic exterior Verde Seabird. Door panels sport it as well and cozy up to the padded black vinyl dash with its metallic green instrument circular cluster. A series of knobs and pulls are in a horizontal black field below, and all are fronted by a large wood rimmed 3 spoked metal alloy steering wheel. A leather covered center console houses the shifter and cross flagged badged ash receptacle. Like new black carpeting covers the floors and presents very clean. Drivetrain The ""carne"" of the car that makes uniquely Ferrari as no one else would place a 3.0 Liter SOHC V12 in a car of this size, and 240 horsepower. This lovingly restored power plant has a series of 3 Weber DCL6 2-barrel carbs, and a 4-speed manual transmission with overdrive. This couples with a 4.57 rear axle and helps to light up the wire spokes. Living large. Undercarriage As expected with a car of this caliper, the undercarriage is fully coated in rustproofing and shows with no rust or even road dirt. Quad exhaust snakes its way past 4 wheel power disc brakes, independent front and leaf sprung rear suspension, and begins as factory headers. And just the sound produced by this engine is like listening to a Bach concerto, just music to the automotive ear. Eat your heart out Triumph! Drive-AbilityOnce I squeezed into this low slung 250 it fired right up and immediately I was turning heads.
