Record
RM Sotheby's describes 3413 GT as the third of 36 GTOs. Phil Hill used it as a test car for the 1962 Targa Florio; it went on to class wins there in the following two years and won the 1962 Italian GT championship with nine victories in ten races. Greg Whitten consigned it to RM Sotheby's Monterey sale, where in August 2018 it sold for $48,405,000 after nearly ten minutes of telephone bidding, then the highest price paid for a car at auction.
