Regarded as an automotive great from the outset, the 250 GT Lusso has always been one of the most desirable road-going Ferraris. As the last production 250 GT model, the Lusso was the culmination of a decade of steady chassis development and benefited from a rugged yet compliant suspension, four-wheel Dunlop disc brakes, and Ferrari’s brilliant three-liter V-12. Though the Lusso was designed for sophisticated grand touring use, more adventurous owners demonstrated its motor-sport heritage with successful outings at the Targa Florio, the Tour de France, and the Spa sports car races.

The Lusso’s exquisite coachwork, designed by Battista “Pinin” Farina and constructed by Carrozzeria Scaglietti, has always received great acclaim. Just 350 of these elegant Ferraris were built between 1963 and 1964. Their splendid design, outstanding driving experience, and association with some of the most glamorous personalities of the 1960s have contributed to their revered status among collectors and aficionados.

This 250 GT Lusso, chassis 5931 GT, is among the very last of the 350 examples built and was delivered new to US distributor Luigi Chinetti Motors in New York. According to the research of Ferrari historian Marcel Massini, this Lusso remained in the hands of East Coast collectors for decades, and has recently benefited from a comprehensive restoration performed by noted marque specialist Fast Cars of Redondo Beach, California. Presented today in superb condition and retaining its matching-numbers engine, this Lusso is handsomely finished in a distinctive period-correct color scheme of Amaranto over beige leather. Not exhibited since its restoration was completed, this Lusso would be a perfect entry into exclusive concours d’elegance shows and Ferrari Club of America events.
