1973 Ferrari 312 P
I came across this particular car at the Local Ferrari dealer, Steve Harris Ferrari. A little background on this car.
The 312 P was designed, built and raced in 1972. The engine and driveline is based upon the then current Ferrari Formula one car. In reality this car is a 1972 Formula one car with two seat and fenders.
The engine is a flat twelve of 2,991 cc with about 460 hp @ 10,800 rpm. The car weighed 650 Kilo’s or about 1,430 pounds.
J. Ickx, Mario Andretti, Clay Regazzzoni, Brian Redman and Ronnie Peterson drove it. I’m not sure how many cars of this model Ferrari built but I doubt if it was more than 6 to 12.

I like the patina on this car. This is apparently an original car without a full restoration.
This particular car is the last one built chassis number 0900. It was built in 1973 as a test car and I don’t think it was raced much. Its wheelbase is longer than the rest of the 312 P’s. After testing it was sold to Luigi Chiniti in New York. Note the N.A.R.T. sticker on the side of the car. The car remained in the family until recently the family sold it to Steve Harris Ferrari.
