1967 Ferrari 275 GTB/4 LHD
This stunning Ferrari 275 GTB/4 is a very desirable quad cam car
that comes with full matching numbers and Ferrari Classiche.
The 275 GTB was a two-seater GT introduced in 1964 with production
running through to 1968. It was powered by a 3.3 litre Colombo V-12
engine which produced 280 hp. The standard 275 GTB coupe came with
3 or 6 Weber twin-choke carburettors and a Series Two version with
a longer nose appeared in 1965. A much updated GTB/4 version was
introduced at the Paris Motor Show in October 1966, which had
revised bodywork and came with a reworked 300 hp engine, still with
two valves per cylinder but now with four camshafts and six
carburettors as standard. The transaxle was also redesigned with a
torque tube connecting the engine and transmission, which greatly
improved the handling, noise, and vibration levels.
The example offered here is one of the 350 GTB/4s produced and was
delivered new to Italy in 1967. It was sold via the Perugia dealer
Romeo Pedini to a Marino Mignimi on May 9th. Sr Mignimi kept the
car for just over a year before selling it to its second owner
Giuseppe Zappala on August 23rd 1968. Factory records show that it
was serviced at the Ferrari Factory Assistenza Clienti in Modena on
April 14th 1969 at which time the odometer showed 21,655 km. The
car remained in Italy with Sr Zappala until September 15th 1972
when it was sold through dealer Dino Armando Genghini and exported
to the USA. The next record shows the car in the possession of an
Iowa-based surgeon, Dr Olivencia, in 1984 who eventually passed it
on to Lawrence Simon of Pennsylvania. Mr Simon was a serious
Ferrari enthusiast and exhibited the car at numerous concours
events across the US including the 26th, 27th and 28th Annual
Ferrari Club of America National Meetings where the car placed 1st
in class three years running.
Acquired by its current owner a few years ago it has subsequently
benefitted from a full JD Classics restoration and now presents
beautifully in Grigio Ferro Metallizzato with Red interior. With
full matching numbers and accompanied by an original tool roll,
full set of books and Ferrari Classiche it offers an exceptional
opportunity to acquire a properly restored and highly desirable
quad cam 275 with excellent provenance. Please contact us for
