Artcurial expects the ex-Bardinon 1957 Ferrari 335 Sport Scaglietti (chassis 0674) to sell for $30m–$34m when it comes to market in Paris on February 5. The car has significant U.S. racing history.
Gaston Andrey raced 0674 more than any other driver. Andrey’s son Rogér has provided period photographs of his father in the car, featured in the gallery below. During the 1958 season, Andrey won the Road America 500 in this car driving for NART, and placed 2nd at Thompson Speedway, 3rd at the Watkins Glen Grand Prix and 4th at Nassau Speed Week.

Seeing 0674 being auctioned brings back some special memories. It’s fun seeing more about it’s history than I had known plus some great photos. The ownership history isn’t quite correct however. I purchased 0674 from John “Buck” Fulp in May, 1969 for $2,000. He had gotten it from Luigi Chinetti as part of the package when he purchased two 330P’s to race in the USRRC series. Fulp told me he drove it around town a few times but not on a track. It had the pontoon fenders then. I sold it to Robert Dusek several months later for $4,375 to help fund the purchase of an ex Bruce Jennings EP Speedster for my start in SCCA National racing. It was the first and most significant of several cars that I sold too soon (as I’m sure most of your readers have done).
