Most Expensive Competition Ferraris at Gooding Christie’s Pebble Beach 2026

1963 Ferrari 250 P

The early headlining car announced for the Gooding Christie’s Pebble Beach 2026 auctions is the 1963 Ferrari 250 P (Estimate: $15,000,000 – $20,000,000). The first-ever “P” car, chassis 0810, was Ferrari’s original mid-engine V-12 sports-racing prototype. Its success solidified the marque’s destiny in international endurance racing and defined its flagship 12-cylinder road and racing cars for decades.

The 1963 Ferrari 250 P debuted at Monza. As an official Scuderia Ferrari entry, 0810 finished 2nd Overall at the 12 Hours of Sebring with Willy Mairesse, Lorenzo Bandini, and Nino Vaccarella, and 3rd Overall at the 24 Hours of Le Mans with Mike Parkes and Umberto Maglioli.

In 1964 and 1965, it was campaigned by Luigi Chinetti’s North American Racing Team (N.A.R.T.) and William McKelvy’s Scuderia Bear, involving outings at Sebring, Le Mans, Bridgehampton, Mosport, Nassau, and other important American circuits.

0810’s provenance includes an impressive roster of pioneering collectors, including Carl Bross, Ken Starbird, and Don Fong.

1961 Ferrari 250 GT SWB Berlinetta Competizione

The 1961 Ferrari 250 GT SWB Berlinetta Competizione (Estimate: $8,000,000 – $10,000,000), chassis 2701 GT, is one of only 20 Comp/61 “SEFAC Hot Rod” Berlinettas built – the final and most uncompromising expression of the Ferrari 250 GT SWB model.

This 1961 Ferrari 250 GT SWB Berlinetta Competizione made its debut at the 1961 Le Mans Test weekend with Mike Parkes, Fernand Tavano, and Jo Schlesser, recording the fastest GT time of the meeting. 2701 GT’s period competition history also includes a run at the 1967 Targa Florio.

More recently, this SEFAC SWB Berlinetta has successfully campaigned at the Tour Auto, Goodwood Revival, Le Mans Classic, Ferrari Maserati Historic Challenge, and Monterey Historics.

1966 Ferrari Dino 206 S Berlinetta

The 1966 Ferrari Dino 206 S Berlinetta (Estimate: $3,500,000 – $5,000,000), chassis 014, is the last of only three Berlinettas of the 18 Ferrari Dino 206 S examples built. It’s been in a distinguished North American collection since 1987.

Wearing exquisite coachwork by Piero Drogo, 014 was delivered new to and campaigned by Luigi Chinetti’s legendary N.A.R.T. through 1969. Its competition history includes three Le Mans entries, two outings at Sebring, entries at Daytona and Watkins Glen, and participation in the inaugural USRRC Can-Am championship. 014 was driven in period by Pedro Rodríguez, Nino Vaccarella, Jean Guichet, and Charlie Kolb.

1952 Ferrari 225 Sport ‘Tuboscocca’ Spider

The 1952 Ferrari 225 Sport ‘Tuboscocca’ Spider (Estimate: $2,000,000 – $3,000,000) is an even-serial-number competition Ferrari, 0194 ET, and is one of six 225 S Spiders built on the advanced “Tuboscocca” chassis, with elegant Michelotti-designed Vignale coachwork.

As a Scuderia Ferrari entrant, it participated in the 1952 1000 Miglia with Piero Scotti and Giulio Cantini, and was raced by Tom Cole at the Targa Florio and the Goodwood Nine Hours in distinctive dark blue-and-white livery. This 225 Sport was also driven in the 1953 1000 Miglia by racing legends Jacques Swaters and Charles de Tornaco. 0194 ET retains its matching-numbers engine and is documented by historian Marcel Massini, author of Ferrari by Vignale.

1959 Maserati Tipo 61 Birdcage

Joining the classic racing Ferraris is the 1959 Maserati Tipo 61 Birdcage (Estimate: $3,000,000 – $4,000,000), chassis 2452. It was the first production Tipo 61 Birdcage and is one of just 17 examples built. Successfully campaigned in West Coast events from 1959 through 1963, it was raced by Bob Drake, Jim Connor, Jim Hall, Bill Krause, and Ken Miles.
