1964 Ferrari 250 GT Drogo 🦇
Piero Drogo (1926-1973) was an Italian racer and coachbuilder. After winning in Venezuela (1956), he moved to Modena, racing until 1960. He then founded Carrozzeria Sports Cars, crafting iconic Ferrari bodies like the 250 GT SWB ‘Bread Van’ and 330 P4. Financial issues closed his shop in
1971. He died in 1973 driving a Ferrari 250 GT California.
In 1964, Piero Drogo built the car featured here.
Initially constructed around chassis # 0716TR, a 1957 pontoon fendered Ferrari Testa Rossa, the spectacular berlinetta bore a close family resemblance to the legendary Ferrari 250 GTO. In 1978, perhaps due to climbing Testa Rossa values, the decision was made to reclaim the 0716TR chassis, around which a new Testa Rossa body was constructed. At the same time, the Drogo body was married to the chassis and drivetrain of car number 2493GT, a 1961 Ferrari
250 GTE.
