    Does a list still exist of cars sold by Von Neumann's dealership ~1960? I am specifically looking for any pre-1975 history for 2023 GT, a blu sera 250 PF coupe, apparently sold new 8/60 by Ferrari Representatives of California. Also would like build sheets. I have Post-1975 history, as well as the car. Thank you sleuths in advance.

    2023 GT was NOT sold new in California.
    It was sold new in Milan, Italy.

    Hello Marcel: Recently a US-based historian supplied the information that 2023 GT was "consigned new" August 27, 1960 to FRofC in Los Angeles,CA. There is a data discrepancy, which is I suppose is not that unusual. A first owners' name would help. Thank you, Larry Zinkin

    Pininfarina finished the construction of bodywork for 2023GT on 27/Aug/60, a car initially been destined to California. It was then sent back to factory for final assembly and finally to a distributor maybe a week later. Apparently it did not go to where production planning had placed it three months earlier... Production planning at Ferrari was very advanced for the time and adjustments were made all the time based on demand.
