This Connetti Ferrari Monza is a very rare competition junior sports car. Built in 1959, there were very few of these diminutive sports cars ever produced. The little racer was originally priced at $595, which got you a real, if rather small, race car. It was fully prepared and equipped with a two-horsepower Red Seal Continental AU series engine. Furthermore, they were fitted with a factory recoil starter, competition-style automatic clutch drive, and internal expanding brakes made from special linings that are controlled from inside the cockpit by a hand lever. The Ferrari-inspired racing chassis is equipped with direct positive steering for exceptional handling. It even has fully adjustable aircraft ball joints and steering components. It has true front coil springs and twin swing axles mounted to tube-type chassis. Each wheel is a true two-piece, ten-stud, race-designed unit.

The Connetti Ferrari Monza was featured in the September 1959 issue of Car Craft as well as in Motor Trend’s Sportscar Graphic June 1959 issue. The quality of this particular car and its professional restoration is stellar, down to the original body, chassis, motor, and even tires. It has never been modified and is presented with a collection of vintage magazines, photos, and period advertising.
