1949 Ferrari 166 MM Barchetta Up For Auction

I am a bit rusty, so this may be a repost. I apologize if it is.

RM Auctions will be offering up a 1949 Ferrari 166 MM Barchetta - one of the most important Ferraris ever made - on January 21, 2011.

It is chassis number 0024M.

The story behind this particular chassis is just as amazing as the way it looks and performs.

More pics and the entire back story is available here: RM AUCTIONS

The auctions estimate is $3,000,000.

Note that there is NO RESERVE.

I suspect it will fetch closer to $5,000,000.
