Chassis:
Following a single works outing early in 1956, this, the final 410 S built, was sold to American John Edgar. He subsequently entered the car for the likes of Carroll Shelby, Richie Ginther, Masten Gregory, Jo Bonnier and Bruce Kessler. Especially in Shelby's hands, it was particularly successful with various victories including at Nassau and Palm Springs late in 1956. Ginther also added victories to its tally, winning at Riverside in September of 1957. The car's contemporary racing career finally came to a close in April of 1959 when Chuck Daigh failed to finish in the Daytona 1000 km.
It was subsequently stored for many years, before it was completely restored by Stephen Griswold in the early 1980s. In the following years, it was raced and and shown at a wide variety of events by its subsequent owners, which included noted collectors Bill Marriott Jr, Engelbert Stieger and Christopher Cox. It was then sold to Roger Willbanks. He showed the car at Amelia Island and Pebble Beach in 2010 and 2012 respectively. In 2022, 0598CM was consigned to the RM Sotheby’s Monterey auction. It changed hands for just over $22 million, making it the most expensive car sold at a public auction in 2022.
