The 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO (chassis 3445 GT) owned by American Chris Cox has emerged from a more than two-year renovation at the Ferrari Classiche department in Maranello. The GTO was restored to the original engine and bodywork configuration in which it was delivered to Bologna-based publisher Luciano Conti in 1962.

After its maiden race, the Bologna-Passo della Raticosa, 3445 GT was sold in June 1962 to Count Giovanni Volpi di Misurata, a passionate racing driver competing under the S.S.S. Repubblica di Venezia insignia. During this stage of its career, the Ferrari GTO also won the Trophée d’Auvergne with Carlo Maria Abate at its wheel.
