1963 Ferrari 250 GT Lusso: Matching Numbers and One of 350This 1963 Ferrari 250GT Lusso with Coachwork by Scaglietti is one of only 350 Lussos built between 1963 and 1964. One of the all-time great Ferraris and delivered new to Modena, Italy. Presented in elegant and Seldom-Seen Black over Black. Retaining its original engine and documented by Ferrari historian Marcel Massini. Offered with handbooks, tool roll, and Marcel Massini report. Revered by collectors and enthusiasts from the outset, the Lusso?s reputation has only grown with time, bolstered by its associations with 1960s icons such as Steve McQueen, who famously owned one. Today, the model is widely regarded as one of the most beautifully designed Ferraris ever built, occupying a unique place between the marque?s pure competition machines and luxurious, custom-bodied grand tourers. As documented by Ferrari historian Marcel Massini, this European-specification Lusso the 101st built was finished in Rosso over Beige Connolly leather and delivered new through official dealer Interauto S.p.A. to its first owner, Ermanno Montorsi of Modena. Registered as MO 95716, the car soon passed to Pubblicit Fraire S.r.l. in Rome and was serviced by Ferrari?s Assistenza Clienti department in November 1963, then showing 3,010 km. In 1964, the Lusso was imported into the US, where it was first owned by noted collector Peter G. Sachs. After a brief period in Sachs? care, it passed through Arcal Imported Cars in Massachusetts and remained in the state until at least 1976. It subsequently found its way to New York, where it was owned by Charles D. Casarella of Pound Ridge. Roughly 25 years ago, the Lusso was acquired by Bradley Hoyt of Minneapolis, a dedicated enthusiast and vintage racer whose collection included other notable Ferraris, such as a 330 GTC, 275 GTB/4, and even a 1969 312 Formula 1 car. Mr. Hoyt refinished the Lusso in its current, elegant black over black color scheme and enjoyed it on fair-weather weekend outings. Upon his passing, the Lusso was sold to the previous owner. Presented today in well-kept, driver-quality condition. A truly captivating example of Ferrari?s grand touring legacy, this 250 GT Lusso embodies the enduring appeal of the Lusso: timeless design, mechanical purity, and refined road manners. Whether enjoyed as a rolling sculpture, a candidate for vintage rallies, or a highlight of any distinguished collection, this Lusso offers the rare opportunity to acquire a Ferrari of grace, pedigree, and lasting significance.Coachwork by Scaglietti One of the All-Time Great Ferraris The 101st of Only 350 Lussos Built Delivered New to Modena, Italy; Maintained by US Collectors Since 1964 Retains Matching-Numbers Engine Offered with Handbooks, Tool Roll, and Marcel Massini ReportPrice: $ 1,395,000 Firm
