1967 Ferrari 275 GTB/4 Competition Speciale Navigation
There were nearly 800 examples of the 275 Berlinetta produced from 1964 through 1968. A two-cam version of the 275 was introduced two years later. A four-cam version soon followed. Though the Ferrari factory never produced a competition 275 GTB/4, there was a run of alloy body versions manufactured to special order. These lightweight aluminum, alloy bodies weighed around 260 pounds less than their steel counterparts. For the two-cam Berlinettas, around 27 alloy bodies were constructed with two-gauges of aluminum used. Around 17-19 of the alloy-bodied cars were made with the four-cam engine.

This 1967 Ferrari 275GTB/4 Alloy Berlinetta is chassis number 10311 and wears coachwork by Scaglietti. Its first race was at the 1968 Watkins Glen Six Hour race where it was run under the NART (North American Racing Team) banner. The drivers were Bob Grossman and Ronnie Bucknum. When the checkered flag fell, they were seated in the ninth position after traveling 240 laps. To prepare it for the race, the bumpers had been removed, an outside exhaust system was installed, a roll bar was inserted, an external gas filler was built to feed the twin fuel tanks, twin Bendix electric fuel pumps, and 15' x 7' Borrani wire racing wheels were fitted. Some tuning was done to the engine.

The car was brought to Daytona but it did not have a driver. There were a few drivers available, such as a young Sam Posey and Ricardo Rodriguez. Rodriguez was a cattle rancher from South American who had a passion for racing. Posey had never raced in a Ferrar. During the race, the gearbox failed. There was no spare, so the crew attempted to rebuild it in the pits. The unit was fixed and the car returned to racing. It finished 2nd in class and 23rd overall. This was an impressive accomplishment, especially after losing 3 hours in the pits.

By the early 1970s, the car was in Houston. At this point in history, it wore a metallic brown paint scheme and was owned by Dr. Ron Finger, a plastic surgeon who would go on to own many interesting Ferraris. In 1972, the car was purchased by a young doctor Frenger for $8,000. During the next two years, the car was painted white, similar to its original ivory color. A $1,200 valve job was performed on the engine.

Skip Berg became the car's next caretaker in 1984. While in his care, the car was given a restoration. Some time prior in its life, the car had been in an accident, and the repair job was done poorly. The car's restoration was featured in Cavallino magazine in issue number 40, August of 1987.

In 2008, the car was offered for sale at the 'Quail Lodge, A Sale of Exceptional Motorcars and Automobilia' presented by Bonhams Auction. It would leave the auction unsold.

Tom Price of California acquired the Ferrari in February 2010 before next passing to a Swiss collector a few years later. In June 2012, the car was certified by Ferrari Classiche, issuing a White Book to preserve the racing modifications, such as the outside fuel filler, which the car received from NART en route to its class victory at the 1969 24 hours of Daytona.

While residing in Switzerland, the 275 was maintained by the official marque dealership Garage Nemeth in Bern-Hinterkappelen, before being acquired by the current owner in 2015. In 2024 the Ferrari was submitted to Motion Products Inc. for a refinish to the 1969 Daytona livery, including a fresh repaint in the original Avorio (with race #41 and NART decals) over a new rosso leather interior.

Only 16 factory-built 275 GTB/4 alloy-bodied cars were constructed, and this 'Ferrari 275 GTB/4 NART Alloy by Scaglietti' was the only car to achieve a class victory in a major international race. It was prepared by Luigi Chinetti's North American Racing Team (NART) in 1968 for competition use and finished 1st in class at the 1969 24 Hours of Daytona, driven by Sam Posey and Riccardo Rodriguez. It has received a Ferrari Classiche certification, and benefits from a 2024 cosmetic refinish by Motion Products Inc. to its 1969 24 Hours of Daytona livery, including the original factory-appointed color combination.
