actually it was a

1961 Ferrari 250 GT California.


and 

The 1960 GT 2+2 had the following for a Tranny:

Multi-plate clutch, 4-speed gearbox and overdrive + reverse, conventional 
differential

The 1960 GTCabriolet has the sameee:
Multi-plate clutch, 4-speed gearbox + overdrive + reverse, conventional 
differential

so my estimation would be that it was a replica and was probably and 
automatic..
