Chassis no. 08863; Engine no. 08863. Red over red leather with beige cloth inserts. 3286/240hp, 5-speed, centerlock alloy wheels, books, long nose, torque tube. Engine internal # 1278/64.

Evaluation: One family owned from new until 2020 with 43,237 miles. Sound but flawed and chipped old repaint. Old undercoat in the wheel wells, and the chassis is festooned with spider webs. Good replaced upholstery and probably original interior trim. Admirable engine compartment and aged chassis. A desirable example with a benign history.

Bottom Line: A remarkable find and blissfully left alone to age gracefully, there is little if any premium in this result for this long nose, torque tube 2-cam 275 GTB. It’s not going to make much of an impression at preservation events, but its condition is ideal for driving after spending a ton to go through its mechanics for preservation, performance, and reliability. The result here is fair and respectable for both parties.
