Pebble Beach RM Auction Ferrari 412

Ron, I wondered about that car, thanks for the update. Any other auction results?

 

Nice to see 400 / 412 series cars finaly being recognised by serious collectors

 

which 412 P is that? s/n? Thanks.

Best, Peter

 

I an anxious to see how all the auctions go overall. I have suspicions that with the R/E market teetering on the edge of the abyss in lots of areas like Florida, Cali, the northeast and such the baby boomers may start curtaining some of their crazy spending. At current prices and after the crazy run they have had over the past several years, collector cars have to be in the "crazy" catagory at this point. Will the big Monterey auctions this year indicate the needle has punctured the balloon???

I believe the original poster meant to say the 1958 412 S (0744).

 

The last I knew, the car was owned by S.Robson Walton, of Wal-Mart fame. Christies had it at an auction in Maranello last year and it did not sell. I would like to wish the new owner many years of enjoyment driving this great car.

 

Bertoochi, where art thou?

 

412 MI (Monza-Indianapolis) #0744 - Formerly a 312S, factory upgraded to 412 MI spec (single seat engine). Enhanced to compete in the US, against Scarabs, Maserati 450Ss and the like. 400 HP/2100 lbs approximates. Later the factory added disc brakes.

Owned by Rob S. Walton, since '94.

 

Did the 275gtb 4 cam sell at RM? That was a beautiful car.

 

The 72 365 GTS/4 Daytona Spyder alloy conversion sold for $320k. A fun car to take up to the block! I thought it was very clean and in great shape

 

Wow... big money for a cut car! Any more details or links to info on this car? Any other Daytonas sell this weekend?

Not if you go by the results at Christies. From what I could see, all the Ferraris there sold within the pre-auction estimate range, with the 225 Vignale Sport Spider topping the list at $1.28 million. And the Miura SV went for $477K, well above the high estimate of $425K. (The cars that DIDN'T sell there were the highest-end Porsches.)

 

the 275 4 cam went for 900,000 like the queen for 135,000 and the 195 bitsa for 300000+ the crowd had a mid 80s feel to it.......

 

Those Porsches were definately poorly presented. You could almost choke of the fumes and smoke coming out of every vent on each car (including the rear wheel wells) - I'm surprised the smoke alarms didn't go off.

A little money spent prepping these cars for auction could have gone a long way.

 

I'd say late eighties . . . .mid-eighties they were relatively a bargin. - GJ

 

NOT A 412P.

 

THE only 412MI...Monza Indianapolis...actually a hot rodded 335S, IIRC...

Not a 400i, definately not a 412P....LOL!

Maybe it was a 315S to start with, so it's had several engine swaps, greasey fingerprints all over the darn thing.....

 

See RM's site:

for a detailed history of 412MI s/n 0744. It did not start life as a 315 Sport, and never was a 315 Sport, just to stick to the facts. A very interesting car nonetheless, anyone know who the lucky new owner is?
