There is something magical about the combination of Italian Coachwork and a 5.3 liter American V8. In this case a 360 Horsepower turning a ZF five speed gearbox and 3:31 rear axle which will get you close to 170 miles per hour.
In 1991, the car was sold by Oliver Kuttner to Signore Giuseppe Prevesti, an Italian textile magnate. He returned the car to Italy and engaged Salvatore Diamonte, the former Bizzarrini factory manager to commence restoration. Due to tax issues, Prevesti liquidated his collection in 2007. The new owner, Herr Fischer of Hamburg, regularly exercised the car at speeds up to 160 mph. These momentary indiscretions led Fischer to sell the car in 2012, to Imtiaz Shaikh of Dubai. After lengthy negotiations, the car was brought stateside to Southwest Florida.
This was the cars first outing since returning to the states.
