Chassis no. 7765; Engine no. GP07213. Blu Sera over Beige Scura leather and cloth. 3286/240hp, 5-speed, centerlock alloy wheels, 3-lobe wheel nuts, Dunlop Racing tires, drilled pedal pads on floor mounted pedals, fire system, Willans 4-point belts, driver's headrest, braced roll bar, short nose, covered headlights, lightweight opening panels.

Evaluation: Bought new by Count Frederic Chandon de Brialles, sold after a year to Claude Bouscary who upgraded from three carburetors to six and raced it in France, winning the French GT Championship in 1967. Restored in 1991 with a Roelofs Engineering six-carburetor engine and competition gearbox that are still installed along with many other competition modifications. The rebuilt original 3-carburetor engine s/n 07765 and gearbox are included along with other removed original items. Ferrari Classiche certified. Very good cosmetics, spotless engine compartment.

Bottom Line: With a combination of interesting history, period competition success, top quality race preparation and two engines this 275 GTB has a lot going for it. All of that is reflected in the price it brought, a result that is fair to both the buyer and the seller.
