1965 Ferrari 275 GTS by Pininfarina

Take this classic car out for a tour or drive through the long winding road, as it is for springtime jaunts between countries, with only a passenger, a pair of suitcases, and the distinctive growl from the V12 engine as good company.

1965 Ferrari 275 GTS by Pininfarina

The luxury Italian sports car manufacturer, Ferrari unleashed theĀ black edition of the Ferrari 275 GTS, which was seen by many as one ofĀ the most unique models ever constructed in the 1960s, an ideal car for a successful businessman and gentleman racer.Ā The GTS, however, was described by Bruno Alfieri, an author, as being one of “the direct descendants – as always in the Ferrari tradition and spirit – of competition cars, and that made them unique, fascinating, and extremely enjoyable to drive.”

OnlyĀ 200Ā beautiful examples of this GTS examples wereĀ constructed in 1965, and managed byĀ theĀ 3-litre,Ā V12 engine, capable ofĀ producingĀ 260bph, andĀ nudging a top speed of 147 Mph and 0 to 60 acceleration in 6.6 seconds.

Built with a left-hand drive, this model carĀ features an elegant and sophisticated exterior styling, accentuated with the beige interior, all to glorify theĀ perfect proportion with the bodywork designed byĀ Pininfarina.Ā TheĀ Ferrari 275 GTSĀ was originally delivered to Luigi Chinetti Motors in New York, who in turnĀ soldĀ it to theĀ first owner, Mr Mac Ham.Ā By 1977, the GTS hadĀ found its way to Florida andĀ it received aĀ meticulous ground-up restoration.

The car had a new coat of paintĀ with interior detailing, and itĀ remained in Arizona until 2013Ā before being acquired by a prominent restoration company in the UK. The GTS had beenĀ part of Gordon McCall’s Motorworks Party display and wasĀ featured on the stand of Beverly Hills Motoring during the 11th Annual Quail Lodge gathering.

The upcoming Fort Lauderdale premier collector car auction will take place from April 6-7, 2018. Visit hereĀ for more details or shop for classic cars on Luxify.Ā Ā
