Chassis:
Completed in May of 1963, chassis 4675GT was one of the final 250 GTOs built by Ferrari. Guido Fossati raced the car for its first owner predominantly in hill-climbs until the car was damaged in the 1963 Tour de France. Returned to the factory for repairs, it was upgraded to 1964 specifications sporting a long roof without the built-in spoiler. In its new guise it was raced extensively, scoring several class wins in hill-climbs. The final contemporary outing for chassis 4675GT came in the spring of 1966.
Soon after its retirement from active racing, it was sold to legendary Chaparral founder Jim Hall. Chassis 4675GT subsequently passed through the hands of noted collectors like David Piper, Harley Cluxton and Walter Medlin. Since the mid-1990s, this 250 GTO has been part of a prominent Japanese collection. In 2004 the car was shown in the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, where Ferrari was the featured marque. RM Auctions announced early in February of 2010 that they were entrusted by the current owner to find a new owner for the prized 250 GTO. It was soon after acquired by British collector Chris Evans, who had it completely restored by Ferrari Classiche. Chassis 4675GT has since passed through Swiss ownership and was then bought in 2013 by a California-based collector, reportedly for over $40 million.
