Generally speaking, Ferraris are rare. Although there’s a full-fledged factory churning out Prancing Horse cars somewhere in Italy, sticking a mass-produced sticker on a Ferrari is nothing short of sacrilege. And that’s not only because of the exotic nature of these machines, but also thanks to the draconic ways the Italian carmaker uses to protect its image.

But even in the world of Ferraris, some are rarer than others. The 1963 Ferrari 400 Superamerica Aerodinamico LWB Coupe shown in the gallery above is a fine example of that. Part of the larger bloodline that was born in 1950 as the America, the 400 Superamerica came under the spotlight in 1959 equipped with a 4.0-liter Colombo engine that sent 340 bhp to the wheels through a four-speed manual transmission.
