Chassis 10045 is a 1967 Ferrari 275 GTB/4, one of only 330 built, finished originally in Grigio Argento over Nero leather. Equipped with Ferrari's first road-going twin-cam V-12, it was delivered new to the Martinelli and Sonvico dealership in Lugano, Switzerland, before export to the United States.

This car's public record is built from its auction and competition history. Register your ownership and privately add your own records to make it a verified Legacy Metrics passport — provenance that backs your car's value at sale and gives your insurer evidence to price against. Roy reviews and verifies every registration personally.

Each chassis record is compiled from public auction archives and links to its source material. Ownership, competition and maintenance entries are extracted from those catalogue listings by an LLM, which can make mistakes — please contact us with any corrections. The summary is Legacy Metrics’ own writing; we do not reproduce catalogue text.

“Full” and “partial” documentation labels indicate how well each entry is corroborated in the underlying sources, not an audit of the car’s physical paperwork. Names of recent or living owners are withheld for privacy.
