Ferrari’s Golden Era Roars Again at RM Sotheby’s Monterey 2025 Auction

This August, RM Sotheby’s Monterey auction promises to be a pilgrimage for Ferrari aficionados as the world’s leading collector car auction house unveils a curated lineup of four extraordinary V12 Ferraris from the marque’s most celebrated decades. Representing the golden era of coachbuilt performance between the 1950s and 1960s, each car tells its own story of racing glory, refined design, and meticulous preservation.

Headlining the consignment is a singular piece of American Ferrari history: the 1955 Ferrari 375 Plus Spyder by Sutton. This one-off competition car was campaigned on the West Coast by a dream team of drivers—Carroll Shelby, Dan Gurney, Jack McAfee, and Ken Miles—securing multiple victories in a period that defined post-war racing. Its rarity is underscored by its status as one of only two Tipo 102 Plus chassis built, and the only one specifically prepared for racing. Equipped with Ferrari’s formidable 4.9-liter Tipo 113 engine, the car retains matching numbers and comes with extensive documentation, making it a living artifact of the Scuderia’s legacy and a centerpiece for any serious collection.

Joining it is a trio of elegant grand tourers, all penned by Pininfarina, each bearing the hallmarks of Ferrari’s refined design language and V12 mastery. The 1958 Ferrari 250 GT Cabriolet Series I stands out not only for its provenance—delivered new to opera legend Giuseppe Di Stefano—but also for its exceptional restoration and concours pedigree. Displayed at the 1958 Geneva Salon, this car has spent the last 25 years in the care of a single owner and boasts recent accolades from Pebble Beach and the FCA National Meeting.

Also crossing the block is the 1962 Ferrari 250 GT Cabriolet Series II, an understated yet rare variant finished in Oro Longchamps over Naturale—one of only four in this configuration. Delivered through Luigi Chinetti Motors and now Ferrari Classiche certified, it represents a seamless blend of exclusivity and heritage. Its accompanying factory hardtop and Red Book only enhance its collectible appeal.

Completing the lineup is a beautifully presented 1965 Ferrari 275 GTS, one of just 200 built. With its open-top body, 3.3-liter Colombo V12, and flawless Nero over Rosso finish, the car exemplifies the shift in Ferrari’s design ethos from competition to luxury road touring. Retaining all its original components and offered from a discerning California collection, it reflects both authenticity and elegance in equal measure.

For RM Sotheby’s, this dedicated celebration of Ferrari at Monterey 2025 isn’t just about the cars—it’s about revisiting the spirit of innovation and style that Enzo Ferrari shaped into legend. Each example in this curated collection captures a moment in time, a marriage of craftsmanship and performance that remains timeless today.

These Ferraris are more than museum-grade machines—they are cultural touchstones that mark the evolution of post-war automotive artistry. From the racetrack to the Riviera, they reflect the versatility of Ferrari’s V12 legacy: as competitive force, luxury status symbol, and enduring design icon. Each car in this lineup was carefully selected not only for its rarity and mechanical integrity but for the narrative it carries—whether it’s the roar of Shelby at the wheel or the refined lifestyle of its first celebrity owner.

RM Sotheby’s continues to shape the conversation around legacy collecting, offering not just vehicles, but pieces of living history. With Ferrari’s most formative decades at center stage, Monterey 2025 becomes more than an auction—it becomes a moment. A moment to own, to remember, and to celebrate the uncompromising excellence that defined an era and still defines the Ferrari name today.
