Chassis no. 902011; Engine no. 902030. Metallic Pewter Grey with Ecru cloth top over Ecru leather. 446/160hp V-12, 3-speed, chrome wire wheels, wide whitewalls, dual enclosed sidemounts with mirrors, Solar headlights, Pilot-Rays.

Evaluation: Previous owners include Dr. Joseph Murphy, Otis Chandler, David Kane, Joseph and Margie Cassini and now offered from the estate of Frank Ricciardelli. Believed to be one of only three examples on the V-12 chassis. Restored by Stone Barn in 2014. Pebble Beach class winner and CCCA Trophy that year. Excellent paint, chrome, interior, and top. An older concours restoration that shows some age but no miles. Elegant, refined, imposing coachwork. Frank Ricciardelli estate.

Bottom Line: The centerpiece of RM’s ballroom preview display, overshadowing with its elegance and style the modern supercars that flanked it and bringing a well-deserved premium price. It will be eligible for Pebble Beach in only two years and it’s hard not to see it being a Best of Show contender as it was in 2014.
