1966 Ferrari 275 GTB Competition

This 1966 Ferrari 275 GTB Competizione is an alloy body vehicle in left-hand drive configuration. Luigi Chinetti ordered the car for use with their North American Racing Team (N.A.R.T.) program. Bob Hutchins purchased the car in 1966 and used it in competition at the Vineland SCCA Nationals and at Bridgehampton. Ownership passed back to Luigi Chinetti in 1967 and a short time later was sold to Harley Cluxton of Illinois. The car was raced in the B Production category at Lime Rock, Bridgehampton and Thompson Raceway by Cluxton.

It would pass through several owners throughout the year. In 1976 the asking price was $25,000. In 1988 it was for sale for a $1.5 million.

In 1993 it was shown at the Cavallino Classic. The following year it was brought to Monterey where it was raced in the Historics, and shown at the FCA National Meet. It was raced in the 1997 Shell Ferrari Historic Challenge.

In recent times it was raced at the Ferrari Shell Historics at Moroso.
