1967 Ferrari 275 GTB/4 For Sale - Ferrari Classiche Red Book
Certified As Numbers-Matching LMC is very proud to offer for sale
this 1967 Ferrari 275 GTB/4 Introduced at the 1964 Paris Salon as
successor to the elegant 250 GT Berlinetta Lusso, the 275 GTB
showcased a combination of technologies that would define modern
Ferrari GT design for decades: independent rear suspension,
rear-mounted transaxle configuration, and aerodynamic Pininfarina
coachwork. The new berlinetta achieved immediate acclaim both on
road and track, with competition variants taking part in the Targa
Florio, N�rburgring 1000 Kms, and the 24 Hours of Le Mans where the
275 GTB Competizione of �curie Francorchamps claimed 3rd place
overall and 1st in the GT class. Produced from 1964 to 1968, these
competition successes influenced 275 GTB's evolution from its
original "short nose" Series I form, through the improved "long
nose" Series II variant of 1965, culminating in the magnificent
four-cam 275 GTB/4 introduced in 1966. The 275 GTB/4, with its
distinctive central hood bulge, was the first production Ferrari to
utilize a four overhead camshaft version of the Colombo V12-derived
directly from the 330 P2 sports racing prototype. Equipped with six
Weber 40 DCN carburetors and dry sump lubrication like its
Competizione counterpart, the Tipo 226 V12 produced 300 horsepower
at 8,000 rpm. Combining racing-derived technology with grand
touring refinement, the 275 GTB/4 established the template for
subsequent Ferrari grand tourers during the marque's golden era.
Per the research of marque historian Marcel Massini, it was
completed in July 1967 and is documented as the 140th of just 330
GTB/4s produced. In September 1967, it was distributed to Societe
Anonyme pour la Vente des Automobiles Ferrari (SAVAF)-the Swiss
Ferrari concession in Geneva operated by successful Swiss-Italian
Ferrari importer and racing team owner Georges Filipinetti. By
1970, the Ferrari had crossed the Atlantic to Al Garthwaite's Algar
Enterprises in Paoli, Pennsylvania, before being sold to Kirk White
Motorcars Inc. in Philadelphia. In June 1973, the berlinetta passed
to Nicholas Simpson of Sterling, Colorado, and by October 1974 it
had been acquired by Daniel and Leo Shannon of nearby Loveland,
just north of Denver. The Shannons advertised the car in the
Ferrari Club of America Newsletter in December 1975, noting recent
mechanical work that included an engine and transaxle rebuild,
electrical system overhaul, and the installation of a new clutch
and Borrani wire wheels. Prominent collector Joseph Moch of Grand
Rapids, Michigan, subsequently acquired the Ferrari, adding it to
his stable alongside a 375 America coupe, a 250 GT Europa, and a
250 GT California Spider. Then passed to Jean Banchet in 1984, a
renowned French chef and proprietor of the acclaimed La Francais
restaurant in Wheeling, Illinois. The following year, in 1985, the
275 GTB/4 underwent a restoration at John Hajduk's well-known
Motorkraft facility in nearby Bensenville, Illinois. Around 1988,
it was acquired by Jake Weaver of Jackson, Mississippi, who later
described the car as "beautifully maintained" when offering it for
sale five years later. In 1993, Bill Mitchell of Colleyville,
Texas, entrusting noted Ferrari authority Patrick Ottis of Berkeley
to complete an engine rebuild in 1997. James Malouin of Banning,
California, became the next owner in April 1998, retaining the
Ferrari for five years before offering it in 2003. By May 2005,
ownership had passed to Beth LeQuin and Bruce Miller of Santa Fe,
New Mexico. Miller presented the car three months later at the
Third Annual The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering in Carmel Valley,
California, before it was purchased at year's end by Steve Wolf and
kept in Boca Raton, Florida. From late 2010 into 2011, the GTB/4
underwent a significant cosmetic refurbishment, including paint
freshening as needed and a re-trim of the interior. Offered at
Amelia Island in March 2011, it was reportedly acquired by Canepa
Motorsports, then detailed and sold to Los Angeles resident Jeff
Lotman, who showed it at the FCA National Field and Driving
Concours in Palm Springs that October. Around this time, it
received Ferrari Classiche certification, verifying retention of
its original matching-numbers mechanical components, including the
engine, transaxle, coachwork, and chassis. This 275 GTB/4 has since
enjoyed an enviable schedule of concours appearances and routine
maintenance, highlighted by completion of the Ferrari Cavalcade
rally in October 2023, followed by a minor service performed at the
factory Ferrari Classiche center in Modena. In June 2024, it was
serviced and detailed by Rex Nguyen in Los Angeles before taking
honors at the Beverly Hills Concours d'Elegance, where it received
the Steve McQueen Award, and it subsequently attended Monterey Car
Week that August. Displayed at the 34th Annual Cavallino Classic in
January 2025 and ModaMiami in March, it then earned "Best Vintage
Car" at The Palm Event at Mar-a-Lago shortly thereafter. Presented
in a striking factory Ferrari 275 GTB/4 color Blu Chiaro (20.295),
now offers its next fortunate owner the chance to experience
firsthand why the 275 GTB/4 remains among the most beautiful and
mechanically accomplished expressions of the Ferrari grand touring
tradition. Accompanied by a complete owner's manual set, tool kit,
authentic set of Borrani wheels (including the correct spare)
fitted with fresh tires, a Marcel Massini Report, restoration
receipts and photos, service receipts, and its Ferrari Classiche
"Red Book," the example is an exceptionally well accompanied,
irresistible four-cam ready to continue its recent run of premier
appearances. Additional Details: 1967 FERRARI 275 GTB/4 -
