Ferrari 612 Can-Am Riverside 1969 #16 DNF Chris Amon in 1:43 scale
This is the Ferrari 612 Can-Am Riverside 1969 #16 DNF Chris Amon in 1:43 scale by Tecnomodel.
Chris Amon brought his Ferrari 612 P—powered by a 6.2‑liter V12—to Riverside for the final Can-Am round of 1969, qualifying impressively in 3rd place behind the dominant McLarens. However, misfortune struck: the car failed to start properly on the grid and was push‑started — a decision that led to Amon being black-flagged and disqualified from the race. What made this race particularly memorable was the context: Ferrari had flown in a new 6.9 L version of the engine (effectively creating the 712P), but persistent oil-pump drive issues undermined its debut. The dramatic end to Amon’s season at Riverside underscored both the ambition and fragility of Ferrari’s Can-Am program in that era.
Excellent quality and finish. Beautifully crafted and exquisitely detailed. Models are hand
painted, decorated and assembled. Beautiful detail and accuracy of shape and scale. Photo
etched parts, die-cutting, tampo printing and waterslide decals are also used. Each model
comes with its own acrylic display case.
