This car (chassis number 0724TR) is a standard LHD customer car with a live rear axle and outside door hinges and was the ninth Testa Rossa built in 1958. Its first owner was Jacques Swaters of Ecurie Nationale Belge. This car first raced in the 1958 Nurburgring 1000 Km Sports Car World Championship round driven by Finns Kurt Lincoln and Pentti Keinanen. It finished 12th overall and ninth in the three-liter Sports class. Three weeks later it was entered by Ecurie Francorchamps at Le Mans for Willy Mairesse and Lucien Bianchi wearing Belgian racing yellow and number 58. It failed to finish after an accident. After repairs at the factory the car was sold to American John Richard 'Buck' Fulp, who painted it white with a dark blue stripe. It was entered in the 1959 12 Hours of Sebring but used only in practice. It placed 5th in the 1959 USAC Road Racing Championship round at Road America and was sold back to Chinetti who sold it to Alan Connell who removed '0724's' three-liter V-12 engine and installed it in a Tipo 60 'Birdcage' Maserati.
In 1961 the chassis was sold to Dr. Willis Murphy of Ft. Worth who fitted a Chevrolet V-8 in place of the original three-liter V-12. Murphey found the original engine in 1995 and kept it safely with the car until it was put back in the chassis. A professional restoration commenced in 2014 which returned this chassis number '0724', the ninth Testa Rossa built, to its original and proper factory specification.
