can someone give me info on the car

I'll take a stab at this. It would appear that this is a practice shot from the 1956 1000km of the Nurburgring, probably at the Karussell, driven by Eugenio Castellotti (partnered by Fangio) in a Ferrari 860 Monza 4-cylinder, #0602M, finished 2nd overall.

Nice picture!!

 

I saw some drove this car (if not, the same model) at my dealer and they told me it's worth 6 million, is that true?

 

There were 3 860 Monzas (0602, 0604 and 0606) , market for them (when they even come up) would currently be about $2 to 2.2 million.

The 3 857 Monzas are approximately $1.1 to 1.35 million.

Don't ask me why 12 more ccs of displacement get you an extra million . . .

 

Jeff,

Once again pulls one from the ultimate auto archives in the northwest.

well done.

Could it be that the 857 is more closely associated with the (customer) 750 Monza, while the 860 is a factory car, and very similar to the V12 290MM which was run alongside it in 1956?

Just a SWAG........

I agree, Paul - I guess the only 857 w/ any SF pedigree would be 0570 - I got to see 0570 when Dusek brought it to Reading PA concorso a few years ago. Sergio Scaglietti was also there as the guest of the show to see some of his babies.

I also see that barchetta lists 0606 as a 290MM and not an 860M?
