According to marque historian Marcel Massini, this Ferrari 275 GTB/4 completed factory assembly in July 1967, finished in Rosso Chiaro with a Nero Vaumol leather interior. As approximately the 140th example built, the berlinetta was distributed in September 1967 to Societe Anonyme pour la Vente des Automobiles Ferrari (SAVAF), the Swiss Ferrari importer in Geneva, owned by renowned racing team sponsor Georges Filipinetti.

By 1970, the GTB/4 was exported to Algar Enterprises in Paoli, Pennsylvania, a distinguished Ferrari dealership founded by Al Garthwaite. Shortly after, it was sold to Kirk White in Philadelphia as part of a deal that included a 275 GTS and a 250 GTO.
In June 1973, the Ferrari changed hands to Nicholas Simpson of Sterling, Colorado, and by October 1974, it was acquired by Daniel and Leo Shannon of Loveland, Colorado. Mr. Shannon commissioned several mechanical updates, including an engine and transaxle rebuild, an electrical overhaul, a new clutch, and fresh Borrani wire wheels. After these improvements, the car was listed for sale in December 1975 and purchased by Ferrari collector Joseph Moch of Grand Rapids, Michigan, whose collection included a 375 America Coupe, a 250 GT Europa, and a 250 GT California Spider.

By 1984, the berlinetta was owned by Jean Banchet, a renowned French chef in Wheeling, Illinois, known for his acclaimed restaurant La Francais. A year later, it underwent a comprehensive refurbishment by John Hajduk of Motorkraft in Indiana. Around 1988, the Ferrari was acquired by Jake Weaver of Jackson, Mississippi, who maintained it meticulously. When he offered it for sale five years later, he described it as "beautifully maintained."

In 1993, Bill Mitchell of Colleyville, Texas, purchased chassis 10147, keeping it for at least four years while commissioning an interior reupholstering by Bob Smith Coachworks in Gainesville, Texas. In March 1998, the Ferrari was acquired by James Malouin of Banning, California, who soon entrusted a full engine rebuild to Ferrari specialist Patrick Ottis in Berkeley, California. The $30,000 restoration included extensive work on the block, cylinders, crankshaft, carburetors, fuel pumps, clutch, radiator, steering box, brakes, and shocks. The Borrani wire wheels were properly rebuilt and fitted with Michelin XWX tires. The car also received a new Rosso exterior finish, applied by a former Straman Coachworks employee. Malouin retained the Ferrari for five years before selling it in 2003.

By May 2005, the car was owned by Beth LeQuin and Bruce Miller of Santa Fe, New Mexico. Miller presented it at the Third Annual Quail Motorsports Gathering in Carmel Valley, California, in August 2005. Later that year, the berlinetta was purchased by Steve Wolf and moved to Boca Raton, Florida.

Between late 2010 and 2011, the 275 GTB/4 underwent a significant cosmetic restoration, including paint refinishing and an interior retrim. In March 2011, it was offered at Amelia Island and purchased by Canepa Motorsports in Paradise Valley, California. Following a detailed refinement, Canepa sold the Ferrari to Jeff Lotman of Los Angeles, who later showcased it at the FCA National Field and Driving Concours in Palm Springs in October 2011. Around this time, the car received Ferrari Classiche certification, securing a Red Book that verified it retained all of its original factory-issued matching-numbers mechanical components, including the original Tipo 213 V-12 engine.

An automatic entry into any concours event, a 275 4-Cam is a must have for a collection.
