FCA - Victoria Division - 1st April Concours.

errrrrrrr...what?

 

Huh? Where did this come from?

 

Not all that easy to answer as there are half a dozen distinct 275 types and so many other factors come into it as well. I suspect the bottom price for a 275 short nose, non- torque tube car with needs is about $600k Oz- assuming the car is already here and tax paid. More if it isn't.
A concour Oz delivered, tax paid 275 GTB/4 is probably a $1.25 million and up car. A competition, alloy bodied 6 carb car might be anything up to $2 million? (see pic 1 of #7545) That is probably the range for cars that are actually here in Oz at this time.

There are other types that are not available here and go for much, much more. The ultimate is probably # 6885 the 275 speciale (pic 2). This is seriously exotic and was the "1965 250GTO" . The sky is the limit for this car. Maybe $7 million US or more?
If you are interested check Sheehan's site under "articles" for a great description of the different 275 types.

Phew! Thanks for that. I remember telling Tiki at the Concour that the 275GTB comp was well over $1 million +... and then I felt a little nervous that I might have been incorrect as I wasn't up to date on 275 prices!

 

All 275's are wonderful; but it must be said that the lack of bumpers and incorrect Borrani wheels make that example look a bit odd. I seem to recall it also sports chromed intake trumpets, sans airbox?

 

Well, all prices are no more than educated guesses on my part. Old cars in that league are a hard sell in Australia and don't change hands very often.
It is much easier (sadly) to sell an $800k 599 to the cafe set than to sell a real Ferrari for the same money.

At the end of the day, any car is worth what someone will pay on the day.

 

wonder whom did that to it.

 

Previous owner, DR.

 

yep.Followed it on the rally a fair bit,such a sweet car.I don't understand why he sold her?

That's the ex-Batagol SA?

Great shots, Rob! You just don't expect to see these cars with morning dew on them from being parked out all night!

 

Spoke to him briefly at the concour and he says that he isn't a 275 fan. They haven't got much torque (true) making them relatively difficult in traffic and they are fragile and expensive to fix. He prefers the 250 GTO replica at half the price as it is lighter, torquier, faster and more fun. He thinks the Daytona is also better value and has no qualms about giving it power steering or a lighter clutch (a hot rod modification apparently). Horses for courses etc.

 

I hope so scotty.

 

You can count on it.

 

power steering! why IMO once they get rolling they have terrific road sense/feel through the steering.

 

and he must be gay if he thinks the clutch is heavy. No more or less effort than a 246 or 308, with great feel because the cable is only a foot long.

 

Only ever drivern one and I thought it was fantastic motor car,bought the BB following day as I was short about 200k to buy the Daytona.Having said that the Boxer is great value when you compare to Daytona.

 

I agree, BB's are great value, will easily double within 5 years. But still the youngsters have to have a 355 or 360 don't they...

Daytona prices are dragged along by 275's, which in turn are dragged along by 250GT's. Front engined V12 Berlinetta's were the icon Ferraris of the 50's and 60's and the driving experience matches the hype, hence the price appreciation.

 

i feel the same they are to under valued,feel and drive like a 200k plus OHOS,when you look at Aston prices,dinos even E-type roadsters are bringing 150k plus.

 

Rob,What would a 330gt 2+2 twin headlight in good original condition be worth now.I knew of one that sold in the 60k area about 7 years ago,at that time there didn't seem much upside to this unpopular model.

 

DD, Brooklands had a 330GT 2+2 se 2 (single headlight) for approx $89k for quite a while (up until last year IIRC), and a se 1 (four headlight) for $60-something thousand as well, a couple of years ago.
