Equipment
Maranello Rosso Collection.
Condition
Ex-Carlos Reutemann, Gilles Villeneuve 1978 British Grand Prix-winning, 1979 Race of Champions-winner. Dull, oxidized aluminum. Shiny show car repaint. Pushed on to the block with the engine running pretty conclusively demonstrating that all is not well with the drivetrain. Needs comprehensive restoration to be raced successfully or safely.
Market commentary
Awesome looking with its polished aluminum low front wing and carefully profiled rear wing sticking out the back, almost organic in its appearance and breathtaking in the sound of its flat-12 engine. There was more and quicker interest in this 312T3 than in the GTO, and the bids quickly reached and then surpassed the high estimate. The race winning history in the hands of Gilles Villeneuve is the stuff of legends and this car, after extensive mechanical attention, will be a thrilling historic GP ride. Expensive, but it induces heart palpitations.
