1966 FERRARI 275 GTS: One of 200
This stunning 1966 Ferrari 275 GTS is one of just 200 examples produced. Highly regarded as one of Ferrari’s ultimate open GT cars, the Pininfarina-bodied 275 GTS exudes sophisticated elegance. This particular example wears newer paint and recently re-chromed Borranis. At some point in this car’s early history the engine was replaced with another correct tipo 213 unit and restamped with the original number. The car is accompanied by a Marcel Massini report, as well as factory books, past ownership documents and service receipts.
According to a Massini report on file, chassis 07987 completed assembly in February 1966. Finished in the striking color combination of Argento (Silver) over Nero (Black) Connolly leather interior, this car was assigned the assembly sequence no. 177 and Pininfarina body no. 175177, as shown on factory tags and markings still visible throughout the car. A left-hand-drive version destined for the US market, the car was delivered to importer Luigi Chinetti Motors of Greenwich, Connecticut. In 2020, the 275 GTS was serviced by the well-known Continental AutoSports, a longtime factory-authorized Ferrari dealer near Chicago. At 33,424 miles, a major service was performed, which included new brake master and slave cylinders, brake fluid flush and bleed, new battery, engine and gearbox oil change, carburetor adjustment, distributor tune, electrical system check, and front-end alignment.
This highly evocative 275 GTS is a brilliant example of Maranello’s elegant mid-1960s spider. It would be ideal for any collector or discerning Ferrari enthusiasts. This handsome and thrilling Ferrari 275 GTS will be at home in any fine collection of Italian icons.
