Another Barn Car

7 min. wow.

 

I was going to say Markowski at RPM in VT when I looked at the photos before scrolling down. Well done! How did the car turn out?

 

Any photos or links to the restoration? What an awesome find!!

Here's another link and photo of 0086E: http://www.barchetta.cc/All.Ferraris/by-serial-number/ferrari-by-serial-number/model-index/model-summary/212-export-index/index.html

The photo is dated 2003 - did it go from a partial restoration to a barn find 3 years
later? Weird. Maybe the owner was too upside down to do anything more?

It had a feature article and front cover photo in Hemming's sports and exotics a couple years back, some of those photos were in the article. Now where did that issue go........

 

From their website and the photos on the blog it becomes clear the groundup restoration started 2 years ago and is still going on.

The date is incorrect, that photo is from the Cavallino Classic in Palm Beach, FL in 2006. I was there....
