Description
Lot #735 - This 1965 Ferrari 212 Barchetta roadster re-creation is powered by a 4.0-liter Colombo V12 engine with triple Weber carburetors and velocity stacks, paired to a 4-speed manual transmission with overdrive. This example is based on the chassis and running gear of a donor 1965 Ferrari 330 GT 2+2. Properly maintained by vintage Ferrari expert Greg Jones for over a decade, this car is finished in the combination of red over tan leather. The reproduction alloy body features a vented hood secured with leather straps, 4-wheel disc brakes, polished buckles, dual windscreens, Marchal headlights, driving lights and twin dual exhaust outlets with chrome finishers. The interior features bucket seats trimmed in tan leather with brown piping, along with a matching dashboard pad, door panels and accent stitching. Its equipment includes diamond-quilted trim on the driveshaft tunnel, door pockets, lap belts and polished boot anchors. The wood-rimmed steering wheel boasts a Prancing Horse horn button, and the vehicle features Veglia instrumentation including a tachometer, speedometer and gauges for the oil temperature, oil pressure, coolant temperature and fuel level. It rides on Borrani wire wheels wearing 175/80 Michelin tires, with a spare wheel and tire mounted in the trunk. This Ferrari has been stored in a climate-controlled facility. Awarded the Special Recognition Award at the Ocean Reef Vintage Weekend in 2022.
