The Ferrari 275 GTB replaced the very popular and successful 250 GT. The lessons-learned on the racing circuit went in to building the Ferrari 275. It was Ferrari's first fully independent suspension Gran Turismo, similar to their racing program, with a rear-mounted transaxle. The result was a better balanced car that offered performance and luxury.
Production began in 1965; two years later it received an increase in power thanks to the dry sump, 6-Weber, dual overhead camshaft engine, resulting in the 3.3-liter V12 275 GTB/4.
Pininfarina had created the design for the long-nose fastback Berlinetta incorporating a traditional Ferrari oval grille, abrupt tail, and voluptuous fenders. The design echoed the cars performance, sophistication and style.
Luigi Chinetti, the United States importer and famed LeMans-winning driver, encouraged Ferrari to produce a Spyder version of the Berlinettas for the US Market. The 250 GT California, a Spyder version of the 250 GT, had been the earliest example of Chinetti's requests. Later, the four-cam 275 GTB/4 was given a Spyder body with construction work handled by Sergio Scaglietti. At this point in history, the 365 California Spyder was already in production; to avoid confusion, the 275-based Spyder's were dubbed 'NART Spyders.' The name NART, short for North American Racing Team, was in recognition of the team's racing success.
Only ten examples of the 275 GTS/4 NART Spyders were originally built.
The 275 GTB/GTS was debuted in October 1964 at the Paris Salon. It was designed by Pininfarina and built by Scaglietti. The 275 GTB was based on the 250 GT Berlinetta Lusson and the 250 GTO. The GTS version drew styling from the 330 GT 2+2. Production continued through 1966.
The fastback Berlinetta coupe was the GTB series. This version was meant for driving on the road and at the track. The Open spyder was the GTS series. This version was more comfortable and more suited for touring.
By moving the transmission to rear of the car, better weight distribution was achieved. The engine used was a Colombo-derived V-12 engine that produced 260 horsepower in the GTS and 280 horsepower in the GTB. With the GTB version, an option was given to the buyer to purchase the vehicle with three or six Weber carburetors.

In the 1990s, the car was exported to Switzerland where it was maintained at Graber. During its stay, the gearbox was rebuilt by Ferrari specialist Checchin.
The car is in great condition and has been well maintained throughout its life. It has power windows, five-speed manual transaxle, and four-wheel independent double wishbone suspension with coil springs and tubular shock absorbers. The single overhead camshaft engine displaces 3285cc and produced 330 horsepower. It has an open carburetor arrangement with velocity stacks. Since new, the engine has been completely rebuilt by factory-authorized Ferrari dealer Foreign Cars International.
In 2007 the car was offered for sale at the Gooding & Company auction held in Pebble Beach, California where it was estimated to sell for $1,000,000 - $1,300,00. Those estimates were proven accurate as the lot was sold for $1,320,000 including buyer's premium.
