A well-known collector has taken a page from history and commissioned a coach-built one-off Ferrari he hopes to debut center stage at a premier automotive event this summer.

And while this information has not officially been released, its source is reputable—the collector himself sharing details online. Whether this is a case of braggadocio or a done deal remains a question until the unique Ferrari is seen in its carbon fiber flesh; all else being equal, however, if it is for real, it undoubtedly will be a stunner.

New York-based collector James Glickenhaus spilled the fagioli over the last several months about his secret, custom “new” Ferrari 330 P4-inspired prototype in various chat rooms, specifically at ferrarichat.com. Glickenhaus, 55, a former B-movie writer/director/producer-turned Wall Street fund manager (Glickenhaus’ movie credits include Maniac Cop, Frankenhooker, Slaughter of the Innocents and Timemaster), is particularly passionate about the P3/4 (also known as the 412 P) and P4 models; only three of each model were produced in 1966 and ’67 and he owns one of them, worth up to $10 million.

For those who need a reminder of their history, the original Ferrari P3/4s beat the Ford GT40s at Daytona and won the constructors’ sports car championship in ’67, the year in which the GT40s won Le Mans.

This latest P4 one-off prototype, dubbed 612 P4/5, is based on an Enzo chassis and reportedly aims to compete in a new Prototype class at the annual Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance in August. (As of this writing Pebble Beach Concours organizers have not yet extended invitations for participants, so Glickenhaus’ expectations might be premature.) This car’s goal, besides giving a collector a unique toy about which he can forever boast, is to project the sensuous P4 styling into the future.
