Ferrari 250 GTO chassis 3729GT sold for $38.5 million at Mecum's Kissimmee auction on January 17. Known as Bianco Speciale, the car is unusual even by 250 GTO standards: it is the only example delivered from Ferrari's factory in white.
Auction records from Hagerty and CLASSIC.COM confirm the $38.5 million result and chassis number. The right-hand-drive car dates from 1962, and its factory Bianco finish has made it one of the most visually distinctive GTOs to appear publicly in recent years.
Chassis 3729GT also carries period competition history. It was associated with British entrant and dealer John Coombs, while its unusual colour separated it from the red finish most commonly associated with Ferrari's racing cars. Post-sale specialist coverage describes the car as having been maintained and repaired over the decades with an emphasis on preservation rather than a comprehensive restoration.
The price is immense, but it is not a 250 GTO auction record. Other public sales of the model have reached higher figures. Bianco Speciale's result is still one of the headline collector-car transactions of early 2026, combining a singular factory specification with competition history and one of the most coveted Ferrari model designations.
For the wider market, the sale is also a reminder that provenance and originality can matter as much as headline rarity. Here, the white paint is not a later novelty added to distinguish the car at auction. It is part of the chassis's identity from new, which is why 3729GT has long carried the Bianco Speciale name.
