Chassis 2667GT, born as a Berlinetta Stradale in July 1961 and finished in the elegant and timeless shade of Grigio. It is the 86th of 165 Ferrari 250 GT SWB Berlinetta ever built. Upon completion, the SWB was delivered to its first owner, Dr. Cesare Marchi from Italy, on July 15th. According to Marcel Massini, this 250 would stay in his ownership until being passed
on to Nick Dioguardi from Los Angeles in the 70’s and subsequently Dick Tschudin from Malibu. Robert Panella from Stockton acquired 2667GT in 1982 and while under his ownership, the Ferrari received a full restoration in Oakland in the mid-90’s.
It was painted red with natural leather interior, 40 DCL Weber carbs, coldair box, ribbed gear box, split Testa Rossa style exhaust headers, single-layer aluminium floor, and a 9.5 to 1 competition ratio. In December 1995, after the restoration but still in the middle of the engine rebuild, the SWB would find its new owner Bernard Carl from Washington D.C.. Panella would provide the remaining parts for the subsequent engine rebuild works.
Less than three years later,in September 1998, the 250 was advertised for sale by Bruce Trenery’s Fantasy Junction in Emeryville, California. The asking price at the time was 795,000 USD. It was only on June 27th 1999 that the car would finally find its way back to Europe, under the ownership of John Bosch from Zaandam in the Netherlands. His registration plate on the SWB read: AE-55-71. From 2003 onwards, the car found a new home in Germany, where it remained until now. During this last ownership and since 2003, the car was regularly serviced and maintained by a wellknown German Ferrari vintage specialist, close to owners homebase.
According to the Ferrari Classiche Certificate and the factory Foglio Montaggio, the car was finished in Grigio, but the interior colour is unknown. Another missing information from the factory is the original gearbox number, which doesn’t appear on the Foglio Montaggio and therefore couldn’t be confirmed by Ferrari Classiche. Still, the Ferrari Classiche Certificate confirms that the engine and differential are the original matching numbers units, but since the original gearbox number is unknown, Ferrari couldn’t confirm that the gearbox is the original to the car.
Accompanying the car is a folder full of invoices from the last two decades documenting the works and maintenance that have been carried out a Ferrari Classiche Certificate confirming that the engine and differential are matching numbers, the factory Foglio Montaggio documenting the car’s specification, the Massini report, and old FIA documents.
Currently in exquisite condition inside and out, as well as mechanically up-to-date. The original interior colour being unconfirmed by the factory. Chassis 2667GT acquire a very original example that has been owned and cherished for the last two decades by the same caretaker, an example that has rarely ever been for sale given it only ever had long-term owners since its birth in 1961.
