Profile & significance

2.953-liter Colombo V12 ≈300 hp, five-speed, ≈880 kg, aerodynamic Scaglietti body and 2,400-mm wheelbase. Thirty-six 3.0-liter GTOs are normally recognized; chassis details and later 1964 body conversions matter enormously. Public benchmarks include 3413 GT at $48.405 million in 2018 and the 4.0-liter 3765, described by RM as the only works GTO Tipo 1962 originally fitted with its 4-liter engine, at $51.705 million in 2023. Private transactions are believed to exceed public-auction levels, so $50– 70+ million is the relevant current territory for an unquestioned car . 38 25 25 25 25 39 40 41 41 42 20 21 ===
