We really should do a Hemmings Find of the Day feature here on the blog. There’s so many wicked awesome vehicles for sale in the Hemmings online classifieds, such as this 1953 Maserati A6C54, currently being offered by Fantasy Junction in Emeryville, California, for $1.95 million.
One of 52 such cars built, this one was sold new in the United States, is believed to have been raced by Fangio (then again, Fangio is believed to have raced every red mid-century Italian car…), and at one point in the late 1950s had a Chevrolet engine – presumably a small-block – under the hood as it raced in New Jersey. It was then used as a street car in the late 1960s, restored in 1989 and spent some time in Japan in the 1990s before coming back to the United States for a second restoration.
It’s a good thing I didn’t write the classified for this car. I would have left it at, “This car is pure sex.”
