Despite the fact that Carrozeria Boano earned the contract for the early Ferrari 250 GT coupé production, four chassis in the series were sent to Pinin Farina for individual coachwork. These cars were classified with their own chassis designation, no. 513, and were subsequently clothed in Superamerica-style bodies that endowed them with the stout appearance of their more muscular stable-mates. The resulting 250 GT Pinin Farina Coupé Speciale examples have become prized for their rarity and classic Superamerica styling and can be regarded as an important precursor to the series production Ferrari 250 GT Coupés by Pinin Farina.
