- Christie’s is set to auction Angelina Jolie’s 1958 Ferrari 250 GT coupe, one of only 353 made.
- The celebrity-owned Ferrari boasts a 3.0-liter Colombo V12 engine and just 6,424 miles on it.
- Estimated to sell for $660,000 to $880,000, this rare Ferrari will be auctioned off on November 20.
Rare Ferraris always end up costing a pretty penny. That goes for examples even in utterly deplorable condition. What happens when a relatively rare Ferrari with a celebrity seller goes up for auction? It goes for even more and we’re about to find out by just how much. Angelina Jolie’s personal 1958 Ferrari 250 GT coupe will go over the auction block in November.
This car is only the 11th of the 353 examples ever made by Ferrari. It boasts the famous 3.0-liter Colombo V12 under the bonnet and a five-speed manual gearbox. The exterior sits in stunning black paint with a bright red leather upholstery finishing the cabin. It has just 6,424 miles on the odometer.

Introduced at the 1958 Paris Motor Show, the 250 GT featured Pininfarina bodywork over a steel-tube chassis. While not stated by Robb Report or Christie’s, these appear to be genuine Borrani wire wheels at each corner. Beneath them, the buyer will find aluminum drum brakes. The front suspension features an independent setup while the rear rests on a solid axle and leaf springs.
It’s unclear at this stage why Jolie is selling the car. She hasn’t been photographed in it very often over the years so perhaps she just wants to move a car out of the garage. It appears as though this is the car Jolie drove in a commercial for a perfume some years ago.
These grand tourers tend to trade hands for around half a million dollars. In this case, no doubt in part due to its famous soon-to-be former owner, Christie’s expects it to bring between $660,000 and $880,000. Being such an early example of the car doesn’t hurt it either. The auction will take place on November 20 so you still have a little time to prepare your affairs if you plan on bidding.
