THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE IS AN EXQUISITE RECREATION OF THE ORIGINAL
1959 FERRARI 196S DINO FANTUZZI SPYDER #0776. THE VEHICLE'S HISTORY
IS SHROUDED WITH INTRIGUE THAT CAN BE TRACED BACK TO THE EARLY 90s
WHEN IT WAS PACKAGED AS PART OF AN ASSET TRADE TOWARDS A GULFSTREAM
JET, ULTIMATELY ENDING UP IN THE COLLECTION OF A NASCAR RACING TEAM
OWNER. AT THE TIME, THE NEW OWNER WAS ADVISED THAT THIS VEHICLE WAS
BUILT BY A GROUP OF "OLD ITALIAN CRAFTSMEN", BASED IN MARANELLO
ITALY, WHO "WENT TO GREAT LENGTHS TO PRESERVE THEIR ANONYMITY DUE
TO THEIR CLOSE PERSONAL TIES TO PININFARINA, FANTUZZI AND OF COURSE
FERRARI." OTHERS OFFICIALLY CREDIT VINCENZO MARIANO AS THE BUILDER
WHO WOULD PRODUCE APPROXIMATELY 12 RECREATION EXAMPLES. THIS
PARTICULAR ONE BEING CHASSIS #MVTR009 WITH FIAT ENGINE #135C-000
0006267.
THE BODY WAS EXPERTLY CRAFTED IN ALUMINUM ALLOY OVER A FULL TUBE
CHASSIS. YOU CANNOT DENY THE PLACEMENT OF EVERY RIVET, FIT OF EVERY
PANEL, AND THE METICULOUS ATTENTION TO DETAILS CANNOT GO UNNOTICED!
THE SHAPE OF THE PININFARINA-DESIGNED BODY WITH MARCHAL ENCLOSED
HEADLAMPS, BODY DUCTING, MARKER LIGHTS, TRANSPARENT HOOD SCOOP,
CHROME SPOKE 15" BORRANI WHEELS, AND FULL-LENGTH PLEXIGLASS
WINDSCREEN, ARE ALL REMARKABLY AUTHENTIC! THE INTERIOR DESIGN IS
