Equipment
Centerlock alloy wheels, Michelin XWX tires, two Heuer timers, halogen headlights, covered headlights, six Weber 40DCN carbs.
Condition
The second 275 GTB built by Pininfarina, retained as Battista Pininfarina's personal car, with many unique details like bumperettes, a domed hood to clear the six Webers, exterior trunk hinges and rear underbody diffuser. Frankfurt, Paris, Torino and Brussels show car. Restored by Mike Sheehan for Brandon Wang in the early 90's. Class second at Pebble Beach among other awards. One small chip in front of the left rear tire, another on the passenger's door and one just behind the right front wheel. With those exceptions the paint is wonderful. The chassis and engine are like new, as are the upholstery and interior trim.
Market commentary
Without a standard 275 GTB beside it the myriad special details are obscure but their presence is enough to set this Ferrari apart. This was the top sale in Scottsdale this week, a car with history and presentation that deserved the achievement even if it's triple the value of an 'ordinary' 275 GTB.
