Land Shark!!!.... [PIC]

I guess you have to be pretty old to remember that recurring SNL skit from the Chevy Chase era. This one-of-a-kind 1962 Ferrari 330TRI/LM/60 spyder began life as a 1960 250 Fantuzzi spider that had the bad luck crashing preparing for both the '60 and '62 Targa Florio events. Rebuilt and re-bodied, given the "shark nosed" front clip that mimicked the 1961 156 F1 single seat monoposto, the could take advantage of new regulations and use a 4.0 liter tipo 163 V12 to win the 1962 24 Hours of Le Mans event. This car marked the last front engine car to win that event and was also the last of the racing Testa Rossos. After that event, it was sold to the North American Racing Team and was entered into Le Mans the following year where it was running third when, of course, it crashed a third time. Sold to a collector, it was converted to a road car and after a few owners, it was restored to its Le Mans specs and was last sold for $7,500,000 privately. I always loved the design of this car with its unique nose and found a discounted BBR curbside model that, although lacking the mechanicals, is beautifully finished. Oh, yeah, this Ferrari also has blue upholstery.
