Regarding the car, the 250 isn’t only the most collectible Ferrari series of them all. Ferrari switched from limited to mass production with the 250, whose moniker stands for approximately 250 cubic centimeters multiplied by 12 cylinders for a displacement of 3.0 liters. Actually rated at 2,953 cubes, the Gioacchino Colombo-designed V12 is Ferrari’s longest-running production V12.
It all started in 1947 with the 125 S open-top sports racer, of which only two were made. 1985 saw the introduction of the largest Colombo intended for series-production vehicles, namely a 4.9-liter version exclusive to the very underrated 412 grand tourer.
As implied, the 1958 Ferrari 250 GT Coupe Pininfarina that’s crossing the auction block next month is a Pininfarina design. A meager 353 units were finished in the period from 1958 to 1960, with Angelina’s car being the 11thchassis. Although Christie’s does not mention the chassis number even once in the press release for said car and event, we do know that it’s rocking chassis number 0953 GT and the matching Colombo V12 engine.
It was moved to Idaho in the 1970s, only to be purchased by a Michigan-based gentleman in 1978, with said gent repainting the 250 GT Coupe Pininfarina black towards the end of his ownership. Come 2012, a British gent acquired the vehicle and restored it with just under 64,000 miles on the clock. Today, the odometer shows 64,244 miles or 103,391 kilometers if you prefer the metric system.
0953 GT became Ferrari Classiche material in January 2015, only to be sold by RM Sotheby’s in Paris the following month for a cool 580,000 euros or 741,070 euros adjusted for inflation. As of this writing, €741,070 is 811,815 bucks at current exchange rates.
Barchetta’s last entry on this fab-looking machine is from February 2015 as well. Copley Motorcars of Massachusetts listed the fab-looking tourer for 895,000 buckaroos, with the car eventually selling for 795,000 dollars in March 2016 with 63,900 miles (102,837 kilometers) to its name.
While it’s hard to estimate a hammer price for Angelina Jolie’s 250 GT Coupe Pininfarina, bear in mind that it’s more collectible than others. Not only does it feature the Tipo 128D inside-plug engine, but further sweetens the deal with unique early-build features, of which the fiberglass trunk lid is the most important. Originally owned by Vincenzo Francesco Ferrario of Trieste, 0953 GT is certain to sell for big money.
