Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Rusty chrome spoke wire wheels with aluminum paint daubed rims, engine internal number 064\C, nothing on engine number pad. Repainted long ago without good prep and peeling off the hood in sheets. Peeling chrome. Stiff but sound vinyl interior. A pretty disreputable barn find apparently not used in twenty or more years. Body and chassis are dry and appear generally sound. David Tunick collection. Bill of sale only.

Market commentary

At this price theres no room to restore this old Ferrari without going completely into financial arrest. Money will evaporate like moisture in Death Valley.... the littlest things (and there are myriad little things) will be ungodly expensive and the replaced engine will always be a cement block weighting down this Ferraris value. Its enough to put even Tom Shaughnessy on guard.
