275 GTB/4 Serial Number: 10021

I saw the attached photo posted on Instagram during Monterey Car Week. It struck me as quite odd because I had never a 275 GTB/4 with this rear end treatment, I'm accustomed to seeing 275GTB/4's with a total of two circular tail lights. I was wondering how many of these cars were produced & if there was any indication as to what prompted the design change.

Hah I had that car right in front of my desk for months almost twenty years ago, loved the color and the unique, special order details.

 

Maybe a privately done aftermartket change by one of the previous owners?

m.h.

 

See the thread "Pics of vintages I find/see on the net" - post #1358 and post #1361. Details original to this car, rear lights are 500 Superfast.

 

I think you guys will like this link......go to inventory and toggle down to the first 275 GTB/4 when this car was for sale many many years ago.

Wonder what year some of those sales went through - the 365 GTC on the site sold for $129,500. The "SOLD -THANK YOU!" in listing was a nice touch

 

Old sale link with some cool photos of it.

Is this the one that was at Waterman’s? If so, I passed it every day on my way to work, seeing it baking in the sun behind the showroom’s plate glass window. I always wondered why it took so long to sell. I figured it was one of those cars that Ed didn’t really want to sell.

 

Yes it was but before or after that Ed also had a stunning 4 cam displayed at the south end of the showroom. That one was, IIRC, Nocciola which he sold to an Argentine in Miami who then did a huge touring rally in his homeland with it.

When he likes a car he does not try too hard to sell it

 

Now that you mention it, it was probably the nocciola that I recall.

Yep. East-facing plate glass window, wheezing wall unit air conditioner and a floor fan to cope with the heat.

 

My personal floor fan

 

That's why no one normally visits Florida in high summer but you hadn't gotten the memo.

 

I loved that car. Driving past it twice a day (I lived in Rio Vista and worked on US1 north of Oakland Park Blvd) was inspiring and frustrating at the same time.

 

Hotel rates are much lower then!

 

Is 10021 an alloy bodied car? Paul Russell's website lists the car as one yet the car lacks the extended chrome trim above the side windows.

It is not.
