# 250 GTO

Built to win outright

The 250 GTO is a competition car with registration plates, not a road GT sharpened for weekends. Thirty-six 3.0-litre cars form the core collector set; chassis identity, period race history and retained factory components decide the price.

1962 to 1964 · 36 built · Maranello

## The price and the proof

Indicative road-car band $50M–$75M · typical $60M · 4 documented road sales · 5 recorded sales on file. Modeled values are not observed sales. Nothing here is investment advice.

Confidence: estimate. Public transactions are exceptionally sparse and individual histories dominate. The range uses the documented 2018 and 2023 public results as anchors, then allows for stronger or weaker chassis files.

Three-litre GTOs; exceptional factory competition history can sit outside the range.

Valuation method and source rules: [HICONIUM standards](https://hiconium.dev/standards). Observed auction results across the wider market: [Market terminal](https://hiconium.dev/market).
