The Ferrari 250 GTO is the holy grail of classic cars, regularly changing hands for $50,000,000 or more.

Enzo Ferrari built 36 examples as the ultimate incarnation of his incredibly desirable 250 model, and the goal for the Olomagato (Italian for “homologation”) variant was to dominate sports car racing in the early 1960s.
 
In what is sure to drive the collector car market into a froth, Coys has just discovered a 1962 250 GTO that was never built back in the day. The unused chassis (#4105GT) has been in storage since it was built 56 years ago but never completed for reasons unknown. Coys will be auctioning it on Saturday, June 30 at their Blenheim event, and the kit will surely drive a record price as it includes the correct Tipo 128S V12 engine, a tube-frame GTO body skeleton, wheels, cooling system, suspension and brake components, and some interior pieces.

The kit will includes the correct Tipo 128S V12 engine. (image credit: Classic and Sports Car) The kit will includes the correct Tipo 128S V12 engine. (image credit: Classic and Sports Car)
