If you love Italian supercars, particularly those of the vintage variety, the 1967 Ferrari 275 GTB/4 by Scaglietti that is going under the hammer with RM Sotheby’s is undoubtedly going to be right up your street. It has a guide price of $3.2m+ so you’ll need to start saving if you want to make this majestic steed your next ride around town.
It is the 28th of 330 examples built and one of only six examples originally finished in the striking black/black colour combination. This sensational looking 1967 Ferrari 275 GTB/4 by Scaglietti from RM Sotheby’s keeps its matching-numbers engine and it benefits from a beautifully preserved mid-1990s restoration. It has been painstakingly maintained during 20 years of current ownership and it is presented in a remarkable condition.
A 275 four-cam is one of the most enduring and best-loved Ferrari road cars of all time, bearing an iconic aesthetic that pairs well with any style of collection. Exhilarating to drive and beguiling to witness, this model is without doubt the triumphant zenith of Maranello’s celebrated front-engine grand touring tradition. As mentioned, it keeps its matching-numbers engine and chassis number 09425 is desirably equipped with the preferred rigid torque tube driveshaft, and unusually finished in the unbelievably-rare and extremely desirable colour combination of black over black.
The next owner of this phenomenal Ferrari can continue to preserve the well-maintained restoration or opt to steward it through a significant freshening, after which the car would make an ideal entrant at touring events, regional concours d’elegance, or FCA gatherings. In any event, this sophisticated and distinctively finished 275 provides ongoing enjoyment as one of the more unusual and finely preserved examples of Maranello’s beloved Berlinetta, checking all the boxes for collectors in search of a strongly maintained and spectacular 275 GTB/4.
