Equipment
Centerlock alloy wheels, Michelin XWX tires, aircraft style belts, tool kit.
Condition
#4 Fair
Has visible flaws to the naked eye. Runs fine, but could use mechanical or cosmetic attention.
Stored since 1991 along with lot #16, 417 Cobra. A crusty, dirty barn find that is sound and complete under the dirt of generations. Recently serviced and running (barely). Despite the dirt and mildew, the underlying 275 GTB is remarkably good, and the alloy body is sound and largely dent and ding free.
Market commentary
Featured widely, including on Tom Cotter's 'Barn Find Hunter' and at the recent Cavallino Classic, the case for this 275 GTB is strong and it will probably clean up to be reasonably presentable and to be drivable after extensive mechanical work. That said, it will probably get reduced to its parts and restored in some fabulously expensive and nearly interminable process, losing all the fun of its first car wash and amazing onlookers with its preservation. The price it brought is appropriate for its condition and history, but is a bargain for its potential in the preservation game.
