1964 Ferrari 275 GTS

07563roadItaly

Engine: 3.3L V12 short-block
Colour: 'Rosso Cina' (Chinese red)

The Ferrari 275 GTS (chassis 07563) is one of just 200 examples of this rare open-top grand tourer, bodied by Pininfarina and introduced at the 1964 Paris Salon. Powered by a 3.3-litre Colombo V-12, it was delivered new to the United States via Luigi Chinetti Motors and subsequently spent nearly four decades in Oklahoma under two owners. By 2007 it had reached Europe and in 2015 entered a significant private collection. It carries Ferrari Classiche certification with Red Book, confirming matching engine, gearbox, body, and chassis, and retains its original Rosso Cina exterior finish.
