It has stunning looks and a rich history. We think it is worth every penny.
This Ferrari you don’t see every single day. It’s not like you don’t see a Ferrari every day unless you work for an automaker or enjoy the luxury of owning one. You won’t see this Ferrari every day, even if you are in one of these categories. This 1952 212 Inter is unique because it has a Ghia body. It can be yours through Moto GT for $1.6 million.
This Ferrari is a stunning Ferrari. The special 212 was first displayed at the 1952 Paris Auto Salon. Juan Peron, an Argentine president, saw it. After the death of Evita, his actions were closely scrutinized. It is believed that Peron purchased the car but it was driven first to Milan, Italy. The registration number was then given. Peron was able to avoid paying high taxes on luxury imports into Argentina.
The car was abandoned by the exiled man a few years later. The car remained in storage until 1973, when it was purchased by an Italian living near Buenos Aires. In 1987 it was sold again. In 1990, it underwent a meticulous restoration in order to restore it to the condition it was in when it was first seen in Paris many years ago. The stunning Ferrari has been awarded numerous awards since then, including a second place finish at 2002 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance.
There are many cool collector cars out there, but this Ferrari 212 Inter stands out. It’s stunning to look at. It sounds just as amazing under its long hood, the vintage Colombo V12. Add in a rich ownership history, including a former president of Argentina, and you have a remarkable machine with an incredible history.
