1952 Ferrari 212 Barchetta
This spectacular Ferrari 212 Barchetta was a gift from Enzo Ferrari to Henry Ford in 1952. It is the last Barchetta built and believed to be the very first left-hand drive Ferrari ever built. It was used as a design influence for the upcoming Ford Thunderbird and is equipped with wide whitewall tires courtesy of Henry Ford’s neighbor, a certain Harvey Firestone Jr. The car is one of the most important exhibits at the Petersen Museum in Los Angeles.
We have been tasked with rebuilding the cylinder heads, fabricating a new exhaust, rebuilding and tuning the Weber carbs, replacing failed fuel lines, all coolant hoses, rebuilding the clutch and rebuilding the braking system.
