1968 Ferrari 330 GTS

Serial number 10913 has a unique history as the William Harrah "Targa" Ferrari, formerly fitted with a specially designed top inspired by that of the Porsche Targa introduced in 1967. Owing to the fact that Gentry had a preference towards closed-cockpit cars, Harrah famously had a Targa conversion done in-house at his car-collection facility in Reno, Nevada, when the car was virtually new. The conversion was minimally invasive and involved careful custom fabrication, which is well documented in the Road & Track article. Conveniently, the top bolted to the car's existing factory top attachment points and was mated to the extended (and fixed) rear window which simply sat on the rear coachwork. In contrast to the Porsche, the Ferrari's rear profile broke horizontally into the trunk line, to the benefit of the 330's overall look. The completed car was tested for functionality by driving it with top on and off and windows up and down to ensure the large glass rear window would remain in place at speed. In 1972 Harrah sold the car, then with 2,500 miles, to Colorado Springs businessman Robert Donner, who is said to have paid a premium for this one-of-a-kind Ferrari. While in Donner's possession the car was an important part of his considerable collection alongside other significant Ferraris, including 250 PF Cabriolet Series I, number 0791GT; 250 GTO number 5575GT and 512M number 1048. Upon Donner's passing in 2010 the car passed to his son David, who then sold it to its present owner with just 24,000 original miles at that time. Now showing just over 27,000 miles, it remains in highly original condition. After removing the Targa conversion equipment himself, the present owner had Beckman Metal Works of Costa Mesa, California, return s/n 10913 to convertible configuration in 2015. They then refinished the car, which until then had never been repainted, in the same metallic Silver (Argento) it was delivered in new. Offered by Collezione by MAG at Ferrari Beverly Hills.
