The amount of truly significant barn finds gets smaller by the day, and this 1961 Ferrari 250 GT Series II is as significant as they come. Parked since 1971, this Ferrari was originally owned by Carlos Abarth, the namesake behind Abarth & C. The scorpion-badged maker of racing, road, and upgraded Fiat cars was bought out wholely in the early ’70s by Fiat. Abarth sold the car in 1966, after which it made its way to the US. The current owner purchased the car in 1968, and in 1971, parked the car in his garage where it would remain for the next 52 years. The car is now listed for sale on eBay at a bargain basement price for a 250 GT — although getting it back to drivable condition will cost the next owner an order of magnitude more.
