 |  |  | Coupe Coachwork: Scaglietti Designer: Pininfarina Chassis Num: 10469 |
The car was delivered to the current owner by Ferrari of North America as part of a multi-car transaction involving a 'one-off' special bodied 250 Ferrari that was owned by the Ferrari Factory.
The car received a minor cosmetic restoration in the late 1990s by the original owner. The current owner has maintained the car in a climate controlled environment since the purchase.

All Ferrari needed to do was play their cards right and the success and prestige would continue. Pinin Farina would recognize this and go on to only create an evolution of the chassis. The rest of the improvement would be made up of the 3.3-liter Colombo V12 engine that was capable of producing between 280 and 300 hp.
The model capable of turning 300 hp was the 275 GTB/4 which was first introduced at the Paris Motor Show in October of 1966. The GTB/4 stood for a four-cam engine. Combined with the six carburetor arrangement, the Colombo V12 was able to reach 300 hp and hit speeds of 165 mph.
One of those 300 hp, fire-breathing 275 GTB/4 Berlinettas, would be offered at this year's RM Auctions event in Monterey, California. Not only would this car draw its lineage from one of the most-balanced and nimble-footed Ferraris of all time, it would end up earning honors to prove the elegant Pinin Farina body is as much of what makes a car as that which lies under the bodywork and hood.
The car would remain in Italy after being produced. It would be delivered to the director of Tecnotele, S.p.A. in 1967. It would remain with the Milanese company until the early 1970s when it would end up being shipped to the United States. Bart J. McMullen had imported the car and would pass it on to its second owner, Jerry D. Leonard. Leonard had obviously become drawn to the GTB/4 as he already owned one by the time he would come to acquire 10051.
Leonard would own the Bleu Ferrari from 1973 until 1976 when he would go on to sell the car to Jim Hunter of Atlanta, Georgia. Jim Hunter was co-owner of FAF Motorcars, which is the official Ferrari dealership for the area.
The car would again be sold. After four years with Mr. Hunter, the car would change hands and become the property of Bruce Vineyard. Vineyard was a former president of the southern region of the Ferrari Owners' Club.
After nearly twenty years of ownership, Mr. Vineyard would have the car go through a complete restoration. He would contract Mike Gourley of Continental Coachworks to oversee the work. In addition to Continental Coachworks, Ferrari of Atlanta would be included to take care of the mechanical work. Charlie Kemp, of Ferrari South, would oversee completion of the cosmetic details.
When it neared completion, it was decided to complete the car in Fly Yellow with a black leather interior. Upon completion, Vineyard would go on to sell the car. He had owned the car for a quarter of a century.
In 2008, after being purchased, the car was immediately refinished to its original Ferrari Blue exterior finish. The interior would also be refinished in Bleu VM trim. Complete with Borrani wheels, a full set of tools, service manuals and historical records the car would go on to earn a First in Class and Best Closed Design award at the Dana Point Concours d'Elegance just in June of this year. Currently the car is being inspected by Ferrari Classiche and is expected to receive its full certification soon.
The gorgeous, sweeping lines of the Pinin Farina bodywork, the Colombo V12 engine, award winning history and being one of the greatest Ferraris of all time all combined to create a car that end up garnering $1,485,000 at auction.

This particular car just completed a total restoration, after being disassembled for over 25 years. The restorer, Andy Greene Sports & Vintage Race Cars LLC, rebuilt the engine for the previous owner 20 years ago. The engine was never installed, and sat with the car, until 2006 when the current owner bought it. The engine was completely gone through again, and ran on the very same test rig. The body was redone by Wayne Carini, in the original color, and the interior is by Luppi of Italy in the original black.

There is believed to be fifteen such documented examples similar to this one. It is a very rare and original automobile that is truly spectacular and well preserved. There were 785 examples of the 275 Berlinetta's constructed with an assortment of variations. Some were constructed of steel while others were of alloy. Some had 2-cams while others had four. Some were short nosed while others had long. Three and six-carburetor, various driveshaft designs, different clutch types, and more make many of these vehicles very unique.
The fifteen examples of the 275 that left the shop of Scaglietti clothed entirely of aluminum where lighter than the others and were intended for serious competition. The four-cam engine provided a large amount of torque which made these machines very fast with performance to match.
The Ferrari with chassis number 10103 is seen at the 2007 Cavallino Classic.

The vehicle with chassis number 09337 was sold to Mediana, Italy. It had assembly sequence number 18 and body number 0025. In 1970 it was purchased by Dr. Bill Jackson of L.A who retained the car for twenty years. In 1988 the vehicle was sold for $1,075,000 to the Auto Toy Store. It was sold to Jim Dewson in 1993 that showed it at the Ferrari Nationals in 1995. It was acquired in 2003 by Jim Spiro. He retained the car for a very short time, selling the car to Mark Minkin. Minkin had the car restored. After the restoration it was shown at the Cavallino Classic where it was awarded a Platinum and a 'Coppa Bella Machina'. It was then acquired by its next owner who had another restoration performed on the vehicle. It was shown again at the 2006 Cavallino Classic where it scored 99 points and was awarded another Platinum Award.
The 1967 Ferrari 275 GTB/4 was offered for sale at the 2006 RM Auction in Monterey, Ca where it was estimated to sell for $750,000-$950,000. The beauty of the car and the wonderful restoration drove the bidding to nearly one-million dollars. The vehicle found a new owner selling at $990,000.

At the 1966 Paris Salon, Ferrari introduced the next evolution of the 275 GTB, the 275 GTB/4. It had an increase in track by 24mm; besides that, the chassis remained unchanged. The body remained the same with the exception of a small hood bulge which provided extra room for the carburetors. Under the hood was the most significant change, the addition of four overhead camshafts, two per cylinder bank. This revised powerplant, known as the Tipo 226, was able to produce the same amount of power as Ferrari's competition twin-camshaft engine. It featured many engine modifications directly related to Ferrari's racing program. The list includes a dry sump oiling system for the new quad-cams, and six twin-choke Weber carburetors. Top speed was in the neighborhood of 160 mph making it a very capable car both on and off the track.
This vehicle, chassis number 10253, is a left-hand driver version that was delivered new in August 1967 to the official dealer M.G. Crepaldi S.a.S. in Milan Italy. It was later exported to the United States. By 1977, the car was listed in the Ferrari Owners Club membership directory as being owned by a San Francisco, California resident named Donald L. Holsworth. In 1982, it was offered for sale by Bruce Trenery's Fantasy Junction in Emeryville, California. At the time, the odometer read 33,207 miles.
Since then, the car has been treated to a professional, nut-and-bolt, ground-up restoration. It has been judged 100 points on two occasions; the first was the in 2007 where it earned the Excellence Cup at the XVI Palm Beach Cavallino Classic. At the 43rd Annual Ferrari Club of America International Meet, Field and Driving Concours, at Corning, New York, it earned its second 100 point inspection.
In 2008, this vehicle was offered for sale at the 'Sports & Classics of Monterey' presented by RM Auctions. It had an estimated value of $1,600,000,000 - $1,800,000. The lot was sold for a high bid of $1,925,000, including buyer's premium.

The body was designed by Pininfarina and built by Scaglietti. This car is one of about 15 cars built with all-alloy body; all other 300 and 275 GTB/4s were steel-bodied.
The current owner had the car since 1978 and had it restored in 2002.

The car came from the factory equipped with power windows, full leather seats, radio, and instruments in miles. It did not have air conditioning, but a unit was retro-fitted in the 1972-1976 period using the 330 GT/Daytona system. In the 1990s, it was upgraded to incorporate a contemporary rotary compressor.
The present owners have owned this alloy-bodied coupe since January 6th of 1977. In 1998, it was given a two-year restoration and made its post restoration debut at the Orlando area Concorso Portofino in 2001 where it won a First FCA Sebring and Washing, DC Nationals in 2001 to 2006 period.
In 2010, this vehicle was offered for sale at the Automobiles of Amelia Island auction presented by RM Auctions. It was estimated to sell for $1,350,000 - $1,750,000. As bidding came to a close, the car had been sold for the sum of $1,265,000 including buyer's premium.

The car was purchased in Milan Italy in 1967 and driven for 10,000 miles. In 1970, the car was sold to Colonel Dave Page who was stationed in Italy. Colonel Page had the car shipped to California, drove it for several hundred miles and due to cam problems, stored it from 1972-1996.
The car was sold from the estate of Colonel Page to a resident of Rhode Island, in 1996. The owner had the car inspected and re-conditioned by an Arizona resident. Since 1996 the car was driven only 20+ miles and spent most of its life on jacks, thus putting no strain on the wheels or suspension.
Three hundred thirty 275 4-Cams were produced through 1968.
During the late sixties, Ferraris road-oriented berlinettas split in terms of design from their race cars. After the 250 short wheelbase berlinetta, the dual purpose road / race Ferrari seemed gone. This new distinction motivated Ferrari to manufacture more civil road cars having impressive specification. The first example of this new trend was the 275 GTB.
The 275 GTB/GTS was debuted in October 1964 at the Paris Salon. It was designed by Pininfarina and built by Scagliettie. 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 designed to replace the 250 California. This version was more comfortable and more suited for touring. Around 200 examples of the GTS were created during its two year production.
Being light, powerful and strikingly beautiful, the 275 was a very successful car for Ferrari. It sold well, with around 1000 examples made, and, as an afterthought, scored victories in endurance racing after the 250 LM was denied homologation.
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 1965, Ferrari created three examples of the 275 GTB for the purpose of endurance motor sport racing. The vehicles were dubbed the 275 GTB/C and outfitted with a light-weight aluminum body, air vents for the brakes, six carburetors, and a 320 horsepower engine, and a few other minor mechanical modifications.
In 1966 the 275 GTB was re-introduced with a four-cam version of the V12. Six Webber carburetors aided in delivering around 300 horsepower. To cope with the new power, the GTB/4 was given wider tires and a ZF limited-slip differential. The 4 in the name GTB/4 represented the twin camshafts per cylinder bank totaling four. This was the first quad-cam road-going Ferrari ever created. It was easily distinguished by its bulge in the hood. During its production run lasting until 1968, around 320 examples of the 275 GTB/4 were created.
The 275 P and P2 were purpose built to Capture the World Championship and in the process beat Ford. The 275 P was powered by a 3.3-liter powerplant; a 4 and 4.4 liter version were also used. These mid-engined, open-topped cars were comprised of many of the same components as the road-going versions.
