This Ferrari was sold new to Charles Hirsch of Classic Autos of New England via Auto-König in Regensburg, Germany. It was imported to New York City aboard the SS Rigoletto on February 2nd by Jake Kaplan of Providence, Rhode Island. On June 12th of 1984, it was approved by the EPA for federal use, and is believed to have passed into local ownership, as it remained in the area more than 10 years later. When it was federalized, the gauges were switched to MPH, though the odometer continues to clock in kilometers.

By early 1997, the Ferrari was owned by Dr. Albert Carlotti Jr. of East Greenwich, New York. In April, the car was given a major engine overhaul - it had reportedly not run in five years. Remarkably enough, the odometer displayed only 124 kilometers.

Dr. Carlotti owned the car until at least October of 2003. By early 2006, the car was acquired by R. Duncan McPherson of Charlotte, North Carolina.

The current caretaker acquired the car in late 2016 and was treated to an extensive engine refurbishment in late 2016.
