A Little Background
By 1950 Ferrari had built about 20 “Inter” street cars, which carried odd-numbered chassis; Ferrari did not make bodies for any of his cars for many years.
In 1950 the first two Ferraris with Ghia bodies were built, S/N 0049/S and S/N 0087/S. Eight or nine similar Ghia two-seater coupe bodies were ultimately built.
In 1975 car S/N 0049/S was damaged in a fire and was later rebodied with a racecar-style open body.
The early history of S/N 0087/S is not well-known, although it is rumored to have had a Chevy V8 engine for a time.
