The auctions at Pebble Beach are a highlight of the season every year. The major auction houses gear up accordingly and present early flagship items for the two-day sales show.
Gooding & Company, for example, will be offering a Lancia Stratos Stradale, an Alfa Romeo 6C 2500 SS and a Shelby Cobra 427 on August 17 and 18, 2013. However, three Ferraris are already being positioned as highlights.
Ferrari 275 GTB from 1965
In "Giallo Fly" it looks almost irresistible, one of 25 275 GTBs with a long nose and aluminum body. Chassis 07887 was the exhibition vehicle at the 1965 Paris Motor Show and is still equipped with the original engine and optional six-carburetor system. The estimated price is correspondingly high: USD 2.25 to 2.5 million.
Ferrari 500 Superfast from 1965
The Ferrari 500 Superfast from 1965, second-hand since 1966, is said to have covered just 13,500 miles. Exhibited at the Chicago Motor Show in 1965, it was purchased by Dieter Holterbosch. As the sixth car of 36 examples produced, this rarity is expected to fetch USD 1.75 to 2.25 million.
Ferrari 365 GTB/4 NART Michelotti from 1971
Also rarely seen and up for auction is one of Michelotti's Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Daytona Spiders, which is also expected to reach the million-dollar mark with an estimated price of at least USD 700,000.
We have already reported on the Alfa Romeo 6C 2500 Competizione from 1948, and it will be interesting to see whether the seller's expectations can be met.
