This Ferrari Barchetta was found in Tucson, where he had been languishing in a backyard for 50 years. Finding this gem was a bit expensive, but very rare. The picture is of Ron Kimball.
The story of the finding of Ferrari 166MM barchettas is the story of someone who found a gem that languished in the Arizona desert.
The car is a 1950 Ferrari Barchetta 166mm. According to Michael T. Lynch, a historian of Monterey specializing in automotive Ferrari only made 25 of these cars with 2-liter V12 engine. Most of them still exist.
Abandoned to the elements most of the past 50 years, this rarity of rarities has been repaired mechanically, but the body is left untouched because that is what the owner wanted. We talked about a guy who loves his classics and wants to lead, not leave them in sealed containers as queens contest.
With a Gioacchino Colombo-designed V12 2.0L, the 166mm much with front suspension fork and rear axle the same as its predecessor, the 125. The Ferrari 166 was used to win the Mille Miglia in 1948 and 1949, the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1949, and the 1949 Targa Florio. The only car to complete the feat in the same year.

"They told me the price: more than $ 1 million" and I said "I'll take it - without looking sign," said Rice. And that was before anyone knew that this car was the one who led "The Master", five times world champion Juan Miguel Fangio.
