Chassis:
Completed late in 1956, this was the first of nine 250 GTs clothed by Scaglietti with the fourteen-louvre bodywork. It was sold new to Tony Paravano, who entered it in the April 1957 Palm Springs road races where the car was disqualified. He then fled the country because of a dispute with the IRS. While he took some of his cars with him to Mexico, the 250 GT remained in the United States. Here it was eventually acquired by the Walt Disney Studios, who used it for a supporting role in the movie Herbie. During the 1970s, the car was abandoned and it remained in a rather poor condition until it was restored by DK Engineering in the second half of the 1990s. In 1997, it was acquired by an American enthusiast, who used it regularly on the Tour Auto retrospective during the following years. He eventually sold chassis 0585GT at auction in August of 2012.
