For Enzo Ferrari, this was just as important as his efforts to win the Formula One World Championship. Chassis no. 0628, set for RM Sotheby\u2019s Petersen Museum sale, was the fourth and final example ever built. Equipped with an all-new powertrain, composed of the Tipo 130 V-12, 3,490-cc engine, with highly developed cylinder heads, high-lift camshaft, bigger valves, twin spark plugs, 9:1 compression ratio and dry sump, coupled with the Tipo 520 transaxle, the 290 MM was the car to bring the manufacturer title back to Maranello for the third time. Bodied by Scaglietti, the 290 MM is a truly impressive, brutal, and beautiful machine, and is estimated to achieve $22 million to $26 million in Los Angeles this December.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/1956-Ferrari-290-MM-by-Scaglietti_3.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-654840 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/1956-Ferrari-290-MM-by-Scaglietti_3.jpg\" alt=\" Diana Varga \u00a92018 Courtesy of RM Sotheby's\" width=\"1080\" height=\"720\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/1956-Ferrari-290-MM-by-Scaglietti_3.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/1956-Ferrari-290-MM-by-Scaglietti_3-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/1956-Ferrari-290-MM-by-Scaglietti_3-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/1956-Ferrari-290-MM-by-Scaglietti_3-100x67.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/1956-Ferrari-290-MM-by-Scaglietti_3-770x513.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/1956-Ferrari-290-MM-by-Scaglietti_3-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/1956-Ferrari-290-MM-by-Scaglietti_3-370x247.jpg 370w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/1956-Ferrari-290-MM-by-Scaglietti_3-293x195.jpg 293w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>In serving for the Scuderia Ferrari team, the racing history of this 290 MM speaks for itself.

The car spent the next five decades in America, first earning multiple podium and first-in-class finishes at a variety of national races between 1958 and 1961, and then spending time in several highly notable private collections. From there, chassis no. 0628 was sold to a collector in England in 2008 and driven in the Tribute to Juan Manuel Fangio Parade during the Goodwood Revival in 2011.
