1965 Ferrari 275 GTB/6C
- Engine
- V12 with six carburetors
- Colour
- Argento (silver)
Ferrari 275 GTB/6C chassis 07933 is among the most desirable variants of the 275 GTB line, combining a lightweight aluminium body, long-nose configuration, and six-carburetor specification that gives it performance comparable to the later GTB/4. Delivered new through Luigi Chinetti Motors in late 1965, the car passed through a sequence of American and European owners over subsequent decades. Following a full cosmetic restoration to correct period silver Argento finish with a blue leather interior, it has been campaigned on the Tour Auto and South American rallies, and shown at the Palm Beach Cavallino Classic. It holds Ferrari Classiche Red Book certification.
