Equipment
Borrani wire wheels, Cinturato tires, dual mirrors, Marchal headlights and driving lights, Fall-Line Motorsports roll bar covered in leather, 4-point belts, IPRA heater, fire system, tool roll.
Condition
One of just 14 alloy-bodied Boanos, first owned by George Arents, later raced by Bob Grossman at Nassau in 1958 and Lime Rock in 1959. Wheel weights held on with shiny duct tape on the right rear wheel. Even gaps. Paint and chrome are excellent. Some light pitting and scratches on the original steering wheel. Otherwise the interior is fantastic. Missing fastener in the front left wheel well. Crack in the right taillight lens. Taillight gaskets are dry and cracking. Underneath is very good but lightly used. At first glance it looks like a concours car, but up close it shows its fair share of wear and use, although none of is is in the all-important paint and chrome. The modern equipment is an odd choice for such a rare alloy-bodied car, and may not be to many collectors' tastes. First restored in the 1980s, then restored again in the 2000s and displayed at The Quail and ran the Colorado Grand and California Mille.
Market commentary
This would be an expensive result but for the fact that it's an alloy body. In this event it is moderately, but appropriately, priced considering its modifications.
