#1 Concours
World-class. Could compete in the world’s best Concours d'Elegance events.
Ghia's 1952 Geneva show car, then at the Turin show. Discovered in a Grand Blanc, Michigan barn in 2011 with Chevy power. Purchased by Tom Shaughnessy who reunited it with its original engine. Displayed at Pebble Beach in 2017, Platinum and the Wayne Obry Memorial Cup winner at Cavallino this year. Concours restoration, excellent fresh paint, interior and chrome. Bright, crisp gauges. The underbody is restored better than new, too, but not overdone.
Market commentary
Adorned with many neat little details befitting its show car purpose to display Ghia's design and construction abilities, it came up short on the block but was concluded later at this all-in price, a particularly good deal for the new owner in a unique early Ferrari restored to the highest standards.
