Incomplete restoration

Auction House
Chassis no. 7529; Engine no. 7529. Silver primer exterior over black leather. V12, 3286/240hp, 5-speed, centerlock alloy wheels, short nose body.

Evaluation: Rotted sills. Wiring folded into a disorganized nest on the passenger’s floor. Bad door fits. A “loosely assembled” long-abandoned incomplete restoration that needs everything.

Bottom line: The only hope for this 275 GTB is a comprehensive no expense spared restoration in its original color of Giallo Stemma Ferrari (Ferrari Crest Yellow). It will be an expensive process, but at this price it might be achieved without going broke, if there are no unpleasant surprises. Based upon its condition as offered here unpleasant surprises are to be expected, however and just as the short nose body lifts when approaching its 150mph top speed, the restoration’s cost can be expected to lift as it proceeds and this is a realistic but far from safe amount to pay for it.
