1962 330 LM GTO # 3765 This 330 GTO was produced with a four liter engine for the 1962 24 Hours Of Le Mans where it was raced as a prototype by Lorenzo Bandini and Mike Parkes. Sadly, it overheated due to a small off into a sand barrier. 3765 had better luck at the Nurburgring that same year where it took second place. It was then fitted with a three liter 250 P engine by the factory and in 1964 won the European (?) hill climb championship in this configuration as a homologated 250 GTO. This is one of the most important Ferrari racing cars of the 1960's! Jack Reuter purchased this GTO in California in 1970 for $8,400 and drove it home to St. Louis. He then used it as a nice day driver for the next few years. Click here to find out more about this truly historic Ferrari.
1954 250 Monza "Loud Mouth" # 0432M This 250 Monza is one of four produced. It was raced by the factory and then in 1957 was given to Scaglietti who fitted it with arguably the first "pontoon fender" body ever created. This fabulous car is a precursor of the legendary pontoon fender Testarossa. It has a beautiful curve behind the front wheels rather than the strait line of the TR's and higher rear bodywork. Jack Reuter let Ken Hutchison talk him in to selling it to him in the late 1960's. Ken picked up the car literally on the day I was born in 1968. This Ferrari 250 Monza #0432M was a feature car in the 1999 Monterey Sports Car Auction where it sold for $2.9 Million. Click here to find out more history on our old "Loud Mouth".

1953 166 Mille Miglia # 0050 Dino Ferrari Scaglietti Prototype Monza (ex 0308M) This 166 Mille Miglia was the personal car of Enzo Ferrari's son Dino and the first small grill Ferrari. Dino had a major role in the development of this car. To quote the October 2004 issue of Forza: "A fresh impulse came from Enzo Ferrari's son Alfredo (Dino), who received a spare 166 MM chassis from his father. Dino came up with some ideas of his own to be executed by local coachbuilder Sergio Scaglietti: together, they conceived of an aggressive and fluid line for Dino's 166 MM. Scaglietti bodied the Mondial that scored the early-1954 success based on this design, with its unusually small front grill". This is the first Ferrari Jack Reuter purchased. In 1965 he happened to see it partially covered through a window of a warehouse in St. Louis Missouri. He was able to locate the owner of the building (Ed Kaysing) and purchased the car for $1,000. It was in pieces but was "so original it would make you cry". He then restored the car and took it to the 1966 Ferrari Club Of America meet in Indianapolis Indiana where he won the prize for Best Roadster. We still have the pewter cup...He later sold the car to Ken Hutchison. Click here to find out more about this incredible one off Ferrari.
