Ferrari 375 MM Pininfarina Spyder with chassis number 0372AM was created in December of 1953. It was owned by Briggs Cunningham who had it raced in competition during the 1954 season. It made its debut at the 12 Hours of Sebring where it was piloted by John Fitch and Phil Walters and wearing the number 5. At the end of the 3rd hour, with Phil Hill driving, the car was in 1st place but toward the end of this hour, an oil seal failed and the car DNF'ed. After the race, Cunningham made a few adjustments and improvements to the car such as adapting liquid cooled brakes. It was entered in the 24 Hours of LeMans where it was again driven by Walters and Fitch, but failed to finish the race. The final outing for the car under Cunningham's ownership was at Watkins Glen where Cunningham drove the car to an impressive sixth place finish.
Bill Spear continued to race this car in 1954 winning at the Thomson Raceway and ad Watkins glen where he set the course lap record of 86.6 mph, which still stands today. Spears sold the car in 1955. The car continued to race until October 1973 under various owners. Following the October 1973 Watkins Glen Race, owner Ian Gunn brought the car home and put it up on blocks until 2009. It has never been restored.
The 375MM is powered by a 4.5-liter Lampredi-designed V12 engine resulting in 300 horsepower.
