The Only White Ferrari 250 GTO Ever Made Could Sell for $70

The only factory white Ferrari 250 GTO ever built is heading to auction, and it might be the next car to flirt with a 70 million dollar price tag.

Chassis 3729GT, a 1962 250 GTO finished in Bianco with blue interior, is one of just 36 GTOs and one of only a handful in right hand drive. It will cross the block at Mecum?s 2026 Kissimmee sale, which runs from January 6-18, as one of the most historically loaded GTOs to come to market in years.

The Only Factory White 250 GTO

From new, 3729GT was ordered by British team boss and Jaguar dealer John Coombs, who specified the unique white paint that still sets the car apart today. It is the only 250 GTO the factory delivered in Bianco, something we covered in more detail when we first reported that. Coombs had the car set up for serious competition, adding extra bonnet louvres, an additional front wing vent and a cooling duct to the cabin.

Under the hood sits the familiar Colombo 3.0 liter V12, sending roughly 300 horsepower through a five speed manual to the rear wheels. Period race weight sat well under a ton, and in the early 1960s this was one of the sharpest GT packages on the planet.

Proven Race History And Blue Chip Provenance

3729GT was no garage queen, as it raced in period at Brands Hatch, Goodwood and other British and European events with star drivers including Roy Salvadori, Graham Hill, Mike Parkes, Jack Sears and Richie Ginther. Highlights included second overall in the RAC Tourist Trophy at Goodwood, a result that helped secure Ferrari?s GT manufacturers? title. Coombs also loaned the car to Jaguar for back to back testing against development E Types, work that helped guide the Lightweight E Type program and underlined just how advanced the GTO was.

Later, Jack Sears bought the car and kept it for roughly three decades, after which it went to major collectors who resisted the temptation to over restore it. Today it carries Ferrari Classiche certification, retains much of its original interior, and is widely described as maintained and refinished rather than completely rebuilt. That level of authenticity is part of why expectations sit so high.

Chasing GTO History At The Very Top Of The Market

Ferrari 250 GTOs already occupy rare air, public auction results for other examples have climbed well past 50 million dollars. Private sales have reportedly nudged the 70 million mark, and modern halo cars like the 2025 Ferrari Daytona SP3 show Maranello knows there is still intense appetite for ultra low volume specials.

Stacked against that, a right hand drive 250 GTO with unique factory color, heavyweight period race history, long term ownership and Classiche backing has every ingredient the top of the market rewards. If any GTO is going to make the jump toward 70 million at public auction, 3729GT is a credible candidate.
