Condition
#3 Good
Runs and drives well. Flaws not noticeable to passersby. Most common condition.
One of three built by Ferrari in this evolved GTO alloy bodied style. Sister car 06885 finished third overall at Le Mans in 1965 (which isn't, by the way, 'the best finish by a front-engined car' as represented in the catalog.) Original bumpers removed and three supplemental air intakes added later. Later owned by Michel Pobrejeski ('Mike Sparken') and Brandon Wang. Sound but aged older repaint with a center stripe added early in its life. No racing history. Underbody is dirty from use. Scuffed aluminum trim. 'Aggressive' only begins to describe the demeanor of this Ferrari.
Market commentary
Aggressive' also only begins to describe the price it brought, on the hammer only a million dollars less than the eye-opening price of the one-owner NART Spider here a year ago. While it basks in the halo of 06885's Le Mans accomplishment, 06701 has no racing history. Its bodywork has benefited from several non-Ferrari changes to enhance its GTO-glow and its condition is no more than good. The price it brought is massive, a premium that puts the McQueen-premium of 10621 in an entirely new light. The transaction is mind-extending.
