Wolf Ferrari Collection to Be Sold by Gooding

Gooding & Company has announced that it will present the impressive Ferrari collection of Sherman M. Wolf at its Pebble Beach Auctions on August 18 & 19.  The renowned Sherman M. Wolf Collection is comprised of 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, four exceptional and important Ferraris that the prominent and beloved collector worked hard to acquire and maintain throughout his life.

Crown jewel of the collection is the 1960 Ferrari 250 GT LWB Alloy California Spider (chassis 1639 GT), which is one of only nine alloy-bodied LWB California Spiders ever built. When new, this car was delivered to the prestigious Illinois-based Ferrari dealer and racer George Reed and displayed at the 1960 Chicago Auto Show. In the late 1970s, Sherman Wolf purchased the California Spider, a significant acquisition for the first-time Ferrari owner who later drove it on the inaugural Colorado Grand. In addition to its lightweight alloy body, it is equipped with full competition specifications including an outside plug motor with TR heads, disc brakes, velocity stacks and a ribbed gearbox. Gooding & Company estimates that the Spider should sell for $7–$9 million. Form more information, please visit www.goodingco.com
