Chassis Number: 10025
Unveiled at the Paris Salon in October 1966, the 275 GTB/4 was a groundbreaking Ferrari. As Maranello’s first 4-cam road car, the GTB/4 paid homage to the dominant sports prototypes of the era and pointed to the future of Ferrari design. The most noteworthy roadgoing 275s are the aluminum-bodied GTB/4 berlinettas, of which just 16 were built. Like their 2-cam predecessors, which were produced in far greater numbers, the alloy-bodied GTB/4s were built to order for a variety of clients throughout the model’s brief production run. The 275 GTB/4 presented here, chassis 10025, is the ninth of the 16 aluminum-bodied cars produced. The only deviations from the original specification are the external fuel filler, added by Tom Meade in the early 1970s, and the present color combination. Together with the glamorous NART Spyders and competition GTB/Cs, the 16 alloy-bodied GTB/4s are among the most rare, sought-after, and valuable of all 275 GTB Ferraris. Not only are these cars far more exclusive than the 95 alloy-bodied 2-cams, but they also represent the culmination of 275 GTB production, with four camshafts, six carburetors, dry-sump lubrication, and the improved torque-tube driveshaft as standard equipment. Historically, alloy-bodied GTB/4s have always commanded a substantial premium over a comparable steel-bodied car.
