King Mohammed V’s Rare Ferrari GT 250 Fetches $1.65 Million at Auction

Auctioned by RM Sotheby’s, the Ferrari GT 250 Coupé Spéciale of the former King of Morocco was sold for $1,655,000, reports Tork. This unique piece (the last remaining example of this model) is currently in poor condition and will need to be completely restored by its new owner.

This blue-black car was purchased by King Mohammed V in August 1956. The monarch used it for six years before handing it over in 1962 to Ben Pace, a Florida collector who in turn resold it to a certain Walter Medlin in 1974.
