by Mike –

Here is my pick for the classic car for sale today that I would like to own. Please don’t call this a baby Ferrari. The engine has 1,032 cc displacement and is based on the Ferrari 250 GT engine, with a 4-speed transmission. It produces 97 hp.

The body style is by Bertone. The coupe was introduced at the Turin Auto Show in 1961 and the Spider was introduced in 1963.

I wrote about the ASA 1000 GT Spider here.

This is a great color combination and is not red, a big plus in my book. The pictures of this car look good but there is not much information in the eBay listing. I don’t think those Ferrari logos belong in the interior but could be easily removed.

The seller says the engine is “based on a Ferrari design” but it actually was designed by Ferrari.

It is difficult to judge if this is a good price because not many of these come up for sale and the price guides that I use do not list ASA! I think this is a huge oversight – any car designed by Ferrari should be in these classic car price guides which are: “Sports Car Market Pocket Price Guide” and the “Hagerty Price Guide”. I have the latest issue of both.

Let us know what you think about this classic car in the Comments.
