Equipment
Blaupunkt multiband radio, chrome spoke Borrani wire wheels, Michelin XWX tires.
Condition
#3 Good
Runs and drives well. Flaws not noticeable to passersby. Most common condition.
Paint is old and flawed but sound. Chrome is remarkably good for its age. Borranis have been cleaned up, as has the engine compartment. Original leather is cracked but has only one tear in the driver's cushion. Described as 'Wonderfully preserved', but it isn't really; but it's good enough to use until it needs restoration.
Market commentary
The only 275 GTS in the Monterey auctions, the flawed condition of this car was apparent to all, as was the exaggerated claim of preservation. It's a tired car that needs serious attention, or one that can be used only by acknowledging its cosmetic and mechanical shortcomings. It should have been 'loose and selling' well below the reported high bid.
