This 1967 GTB/4, authenticated as chassis number 10195, is a freshly restored investment piece that's suitable for exhibition at finer concours d'elegance and the world's most discerning FCA events.
According to Ferrari archives, this particular 275 was originally delivered to a French concessionaire in July of 1967 and rarely put into competition. In addition to its characteristically powerful Colombo drivetrain, the car featured an unusually beautiful and refined Blu Sera over Blue Chiaro color scheme; otherwise translated as Evening Blue over Special Light Blue. And when the car's most recent owner, a longtime Ferrari collector, confirmed it as a numbers-matching GTB/4, he ordered an exacting restoration that wouldn't disturb any of its faultless, original elements. The 275-mint Ferrari was promptly shipped to Ferrari Classiche where the highly supervised reboot was completed by July of 2012. And today, the car's spectacular fit and first class finish create one of the world's finest collector cars!
Like its predecessors, this car's Ferrari-certified-original engine still features two valves per cylinder. Unlike its predecessors, it spins four overhead camshafts and sips fuel through six Weber 2-barrel carburetors. That departure from previous logic allowed the engine's valve angle to be reduced for a more compact head design. The aforementioned dual-cam set up allowed those valves to be "correctly" aligned, instead of patterned in their traditional SOHC Ferrari offset. And the entire set up was converted to a dry-sump lubrication system that features a huge 17 quart pan capacity.
Sporting a four wheel independent suspension that's equipped with Koni shocks and a thick anti-roll bar, this 275 features Ferrari's first completely independent set up; and that track-ready chassis has been further strengthened by a mandatory torque tube that connects the car's engine directly to its transaxle. During this GTB/4's detailed restoration, its transaxle was completely rebuilt by renowned Ferrari specialist Patrick Ottis of Berkley, California. Its clutch, pressure plate, flywheel, and mechanical and electric fuel pumps were replaced just the same. All of the car's suspension and ancillary components were replicated with brand new, original-specification items. A new, and equally correct, Ansa exhaust system was bolted up. And finally, four new wheels, produced on special order from Borrani, were shod with correct 205VR14 Michelin XWX tires.
Despite its awesome performance, this Ferrari is quite civilized inside, featuring well-formed seats, a wood-trimmed dash and power windows as standard equipment. Large and easy-to-read gauges, which came from the factory measuring miles per hour, sit front and center. There's a gorgeous 3-spoke steering wheel in your hands, and a small chrome shifter to your right. The Connolly leather buckets are surprisingly comfortable, without being too confining or tight. The car's restoration-fresh dash is excellent, with no shrinkage or warping. And everything works as it should including a small center console that's fitted with chrome power window switches.
The name Ferrari commands strong feelings from its owners and admirers, and this spotless coupe's unmatched combination of style, performance and pedigree is the literal embodiment of why. Call, click or visit RKMotorsCharlot... for more information on this awesome GTB/4!
