VINTAGE: Four Rare Ferraris At Auction

A private collection of four rare Ferraris is expected to fetch $20 million or more during Gooding & Company’s Pebble Beach auction on August 18-19.
From the collection of the late Sherman M. Wolf comes a rare alloy-bodied 1960 Ferrari 250 GT LWB California Spider Competizione, a 1953 Ferrari 340 MM Spider, a 1957 Ferrari 500 TRC and a 1985 Ferrari 288 GTO, a group that Gooding called four exceptional and important Ferraris that a prominent and beloved collector.
"Sherman Wolf was one of the most earnest and generous Ferrari enthusiasts I've ever known, and he is dearly missed by many friends in the collecting community," said David Gooding, president and founder of Gooding & Company.
"We are honored to offer his stunning collection for the next generation to continue his legacy of passion and admiration for these extraordinary Ferraris."
A lifelong Ferrari devotee who passed away earlier this year, Sherman Wolf was revered and loved by his friends in the car community for his enthusiasm and dedication to the hobby. He had a passion for collecting and repairing antique radios, clocks and cars, driven by his natural engineering talents and business innovation with two-way radios.
When it came to cars, he was often the enthusiastic participant in road rallies such as the Mille Miglia, Colorado Grand and Tour Auto who helped repair other drivers’ cars.
According to Gooding estimates, the highly desirable alloy-bodied California Spider Competizione is expected to bring $7 million to $9 million; the 1953 340 MM Competition Spider, the last of five with a body by Vignale, should reach $4.5 million to $6.5 million; the beautiful Ferrari 500 TRC, one of just 19 built, should get $3.75 million to $4.5 million; and the ultra-low-mileage 288 GTO, coachbuilt by Scaglietti, is valued at $750,000 to $900,000.
The auction takes place at the Pebble Beach Equestrian Center, located at the corner of Portola Road and Stevenson Drive, during the weekend of the famed Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance. Preview days will start on August 15.
