Chassis:
Following the unique machine's retirement from contemporary racing, it passed through the hands of some of America's finest collectors like Jack Nethercutt and Bill Harrah. In the 1970s, it was owned for a brief period by the Monterey Historic Automobile Races founder Steve Earle, who used in the inaugural event in 1974. In the 1990s the car was subjected to a complete restoration, bringing it back to its late 1950s glory. Since then the car was both used in historic races and entered in several concours d'elegance. In 2005, the car was offered in the high profile Sotheby's Auction in Maranello, but an offer of EUR7.1 million was not enough to convince the owner to let it go. A year later RM Auctions grabbed headlines by claiming the 412 S could break the Ferrari auction record. It found a new owner for $5.61 million, which was considerably less than offered just over a year earlier. Fortunately the new owner is an avid racer and he skilfully piloted his newest purchase during the 2007 Monterey Historics.
