At the Oregon Coast Exotic Car Show we were all fortunate enough to get a up close and personal tour of one of the rarest cars in existence, the oldest complete Ferrari, the 1947 Ferrari 166 Corsa Spyder owned by a James Clark from Vancouver, WA. His father originally bought it for $3800 and passed it on to his son who spent years restoring the car. It truly is a pristine example of how a vintage car should be restored and he plans to pass it on to his son who has already promised to keep it. I had a few moments to take pictures of this beautiful (and LOUD) machinery.

Here's the video

A little history on the car: 1947 Ferrari Corsa Spyder

Beautiful imagery Jason... thanks for posting

 

Nice to see a red Ferrari on here again.

 

Wow Jason, that car is stunning.

 

Awesome Pics -- thank you for sharing

Also that kid is lucky this car is not Cararra white...

 

Very nice. What is that car worth nowadays? I'd imagine quite a bit...

 

It's priceless.

 

Great shots! That's a cool looking car! Kind of boring in the engine bay,where is the red top, & Ferrari logos?

 

Did you forget that this car was from 1947. Well before those things were thought of. They built this car during trying times shortly after WWII ended. It wasn't an easy time for Ferrari at the time. Click on the link earlier and you'll see what I mean.

 

Yea, I know it was more tongue in cheek. Most cars from the era are kind of unfinished like that.

 

Just checking...

 

Very amazing Jason...

 

wow!

absolutely gorgeous. That this is mint.

wonderful shots too, Jason.

I am a little speachless, wow.

 

Oh thank the Gods of Speed. That is incredible. I had wondered about that car and where it is. Enzo must be proud. Incredible post and pics. Thanks!
