Eat your hearts out, rest of the country. Some of you might wish for California to sink beneath the Pacific, but at least we get not one but two Ferrari’s named after our state.
With a total of only 105 Ferrari 250 Spyder California’s ever made, they’re valued at $2 million a piece—more if they have a racing heritage. These rare convertibles were created in 1958 by the Italian car maker named after their best-selling market.
There will be six of these classics at this year’s Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance which has a five decade history of hosting some of the rarest and most beautiful examples of automotive history. Chief Judge Ed Gilbertson states this year’s 250 GT Spyder California’s is a once-in-a-lifetime display of rare roadsters from around the world.
Built by Carrozzeria Scaglietti, the California Spyder was based on the long-wheelbase of the 250 GT platform. Only twelve of the 250 were racing versions, which featuring all-aluminum bodywork and a more powerful engine.
The Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance will be held on August 17th near Monterey, California. Two General Motors Motorama concepts and the only Ferrari 400 Superamerica built by the factory with California Spyder coachwork will also be on display.
Our take? Some impressive high class collectibles for eye candy this year….
