1965 Ferrari 275 GTS Spider Convertible Coupe

It would be challenging to succeed the emblematic 250, however, the new 275 GTS and GTB would not just be successors they would be a huge step forward.

Over the course of its production lifetime, there would be just 200 examples of the GTS produced. Chassis 07449 would be one of those rare examples. Completed in July of 1965, 07449 would feature all of the new technology that would make the 275 GTS a vast improvement upon its predecessor. Independent suspension, a rear-mounted five-speed transaxle and a new 3.3-liter Tipo 213 V12 engine would all be a part of this new car. But, there would be other little details that would set this car apart from its fellow GTS brethren.

Polished side vents, a Voxson stereo and a six-carburetor arrangement would all be some of the details that would set this car apart. Capable of reaching top speeds in excess of 140mph, 07449 was a serious performer and would attract a Modena resident by the name of Gino Paoli. Paoli would have the car for only a short period of time before he would sell the Cesare Di Consiglio. This would take place in 1966 and would be just one of many owners throughout the 1960s.

However, in 1969 something would happen…love would be in the air. The GTS would be a rather popular design for Ferrari and would draw the elite clientele. From Eric Clapton to Jayne Mansfield, the car would draw interest from just about everyone. However, how many truly fell in love with the car? Chassis 07449 would be among the truly lucky ones.

In 1969, the car's current owner would come along and purchased the car from Renato Boiocchi. It would be a match made in heaven that would continue for more than 40 years. Robert Hodur would be on his way back from Vietnam and would determine to own a Ferrari. He would find the car in the Washington D.C. area and would decide he just had to have it. The same passion would remain with Hodur for more than four decades.

In 2014, the car would arrive at Motorkraft in Noblesville, Indiana and would receive a great deal of care there. Nearly all of the components would receive attention. The car had remained with Hodur for some 45 years. When completed, it looked ready for another forty years. Interestingly, in spite of the freshening, very little of the car has changed over the years and therefore offers a very original look and feel.

Chassis 07449, after some 45 years with its owner, would be made available for purchase through Gooding & Company's Arizona auction in January 2015. In light of its interesting details, originality and long ownership, estimates for the car would run between $1,350,000 and $1,650,000.
