Chassis 09425 is a 1967 Ferrari 275 GTB/4, one of only six examples delivered new in Nero over Nero specification, and one of just 330 built before the model was discontinued in 1968. Issued a certificate of origin in January 1967 as a European-market car, it retains its matching-numbers Tipo 226 quad-cam V-12 and the preferred rigid torque-tube driveshaft. The car was comprehensively restored around 1990 and has since been carefully preserved through several American collections.
