To do so, he needed to create a car that could race well on circuits while also successfully completing the five-day Carrera Panamericana rally through Mexico.designed its new type 519/C chassis for the championship, complete with a low-riding tubular spaceframe. The race car was fitted with a 5.
John Edgar retired the car from racing in 1960 when he sold it. However, it was pulled from retirement by its new owner for the 1963 Daytona Continental 3 Hours. New regulations stipulated race cars needed a fixed roof so one was fashioned for the car but it poorly impacted aerodynamics and the new owner decided to race a 250 GTO instead.
The car was then retired again and remained in a collection for two decades. It was acquired by Howard Cohen in 1980 and underwent a restoration. Chassis 0598 CM has passed through the hands of numerous owners since. It is so special that the original fuel tank has an inscription from Carroll Shelby reading, “Mr. Ferrari told me that this was the best Ferrari he ever built.”
