The Ron Sturgeon Collection has welcomed a remarkable new addition, a 1970 Ferrari 250 GT Red Special Spyder, a handcrafted tribute to one of the rarest and most elegant Italian designs in automotive history. This recreation draws inspiration from the 1957 Berlinetta Speciale, originally created by Pinin Farina for Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands, embodying the styling and spirit of a true one-off masterpiece.

Under its sculpted long bonnet, the Spyder boasts a high-revving powerplant equipped with triple Weber carburetors, delivering an estimated 320 horsepower. The vehicle’s performance is further enhanced by a five-speed manual transmission, ventilated disc brakes, and a quad-exit exhaust system, ensuring both power and presence on the road. The classic Ferrari flair is captured through its 15′ Borrani wire wheels and distinctive design elements such as an oval grille, independent front bumperettes, sculpted fender vents, and curved tailfins with taillights perched on top.

Inside, the Spyder features a wood-rimmed steering wheel adorned with the iconic prancing horse, fronting Veglia Borletti gauges that include a 180-mph speedometer and an 8k-rpm tachometer. Additional instrumentation is elegantly housed above the center stack, blending functionality with timeless design.

Ron Sturgeon, founder of the DFW Car & Toy Museum, remarked on the significance of this addition, stating, ‘This car is an homage to one of Ferrari’s most exclusive commissions. It may be a recreation, but the craftsmanship and character are unmistakably Maranello.’ The Ferrari 250 GT Red Special Spyder stands as a testament to the timeless appeal of Italian automotive design, from its royal lineage to its roaring tribute.
