An outright Le Mans winner is a car with a result that cannot be recreated. This privateer Ferrari combines that sporting importance with a long museum history and a major documented auction result.
- Gregory and Rindt won Le Mans overall in 1965 for the North American Racing Team.
- RM describes a retained matching-numbers drivetrain.
One car, a documented identity
RM identifies chassis and engine 5893, with gearbox 21. The catalog calls it a 1964 car; its addendum gives a 1965 title year.
The catalog year and title year differ; both identify chassis 5893.
The auction result does not establish the present owner. No later offering has been verified for this record.
