Rare 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO Takes Home Best in Show at 2024 Amelia Concours de Sport

Few cars command as much awe and respect as the iconic Ferrari 250 GTO. With only 36 ever produced, the 250 GTO stands as a symbol of beauty, rarity, and racing excellence. Recently, the 1962 250 GTO with chassis #4153GT stole the spotlight at the prestigious 2024 Amelia Concours d'Elegance, clinching the Best in Show award at the Concours de Sport.

Owned by David MacNeil, the founder of WeatherTech, this remarkable 250 GTO boasts a striking silver exterior with a French tricolore stripe, reminiscent of its glory days at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1963, where it secured a fourth-place finish overall. Originally piloted by French racing driver Pierre Dumay, the car has a rich history of victories and podium finishes, including an impressive win at the 1964 Tour de France.

Historic and Valuable

Valued at a staggering $80 million, the 4153GT is one of the most expensive 250 GTOs ever sold. Ferrari historian Marcel Massini has praised this specific chassis as one of the top GTOs globally, solidifying its status as a prized collector's gem. Following a meticulous two-year restoration by Motion Products, the car has graced various prestigious events, from Villa d'Este to Pebble Beach.

Despite its value and heritage, MacNeil intends to fully enjoy the driving experience the 250 GTO offers. Planning to showcase the car at one final exhibition before hitting the open road, MacNeil relishes the thought of pushing the car's performance limits and reliving its glorious history on the modern streets.
