Condition
#3 Good
Runs and drives well. Flaws not noticeable to passersby. Most common condition.
Mostly original, 40 years of single family ownership, showing 10,794 miles, recently serviced. The paint is visibly aged with some scratches, small blisters and wrinkles in the finish here and there. The wheels are clean. Windshield is delaminating around the edges and the windshield gasket has fine cracks around the edges. Heavily worn driver's seat but the rest of the interior is quite clean and with a nice patina. Lovely GTB, too good to restore and has already been awarded for its impressive level of preservation.
Market commentary
Sold at Gooding's Pebble Beach auction in 2015, it's had several subsequent owners and a mechanical rebuild at Motion Products last year, but other than that it has just been preserved, probably one of the best time-warp 275 GTB/4s around. That hasn't helped its value, though, and it changed hands here for about $350,000 less than the $3,877,500 that it brought back in 2015 although still carrying a material increment for originality.
