The fully restored open-top racer even has a numbers-matching inline-four engine.
This particular 500 TRC, chassis No. 0706 MDTR, was the second to last example built and rolled off the line in April 1957. Although it was originally painted blue and white, it’s now done up in a much more classic red and black racing livery with a thin white pinstripe separating the colors. The car, which was acquired by noted collector Oscar Davis in 2014, has been fully restored, including having its after-market Ford 289 V-8 for a numbers-matching inline-four acquired directly from Ferrari.
In addition to being a true beauty, this particular 500 TRC has a rich racing history of its own. Although it didn’t get off to a fast start—it had to retire from Le Mans in 1957 because of a water pump failure—it would claim two SCCA E-Modified championships in 1958 and 1959. It competed in at least 30 races between 1957 and 1963, claiming podiums in 18 of them. It hasn’t raced in decades, but has become a fixture of classic car shows around the US since.
