It's a 1952 Ferrari 340 America that will be sold in Indianapolis this weekend. It is one of only 24 copies produced and represents a racing machine that won fifth place in the Le Mansh race in 1952.
It was then imported to the US, where it changed several owners, and one of them replaced the original V12 engine with a Chevy V8. The original engine has since lost track.
The body was later damaged by a crash and replaced, but it was also damaged during transport, so the owner later decided on a Devon Spider chariot. The car then disappears and does not return for decades.
In 1990, however, it was purchased by driver Mike Sanfipi in a garage sale for $200 because the seller simply wanted to get rid of it. Sanfilippo did not know the origin of the car, they wanted to prepare it for speeding races, but they sold it to EBay in 2006 for $26.912, Tom Shaughnessy.
It's about a restoration expert who soon found out what he bought and that the car is actually worth $3 million.
This was followed by a restoration carried out by Ferrari Classic, and the car returned to its original state of state and took its 4.1-liter V12 engine accompanied by a four-speed manual truck, and the original view was returned thanks to photos and pieces of newspapers.
The car is expected to sell for over $6 million.
