Good Morning! I am being asked about this 275 GTS, I pass on this request to the Ferrari Chat specialists: 1965 Ferrari 275 GTS by Pininfarina | Monterey 2025 | RM Sotheby's Pick it apart, what do I need to know? Steve
From the pictures looks quite nice and correct apart from non original body and interior colours. States all matching numbers according the 2022 Red Classiche book which will have expired now but that only represents the time the car was inspected anyway. Advertised with 35000 miles in 1989 and 39000 miles in 2004 according to Marcel Massini report but now showing only 21338. Who completed the restoration is important and is not stated so likely not a well known company. Clock appears to have stopped, which although minor, shows a lack of attention to detail in the car's restoration. Although the car looks nice in pictures, it most importantly needs to be mechanically inspected, as well as inspected for any structural damage and hidden rust.
Compare it to 07275 here which is said to be original and never restored, where the teak, or teak effect, appears to be more of a grain and less wavy. The black vinyl on top of the dash seems to compare well but you can never really tell for certain unless you see it in the flesh. That is why these cars need to be physically inspected. These seem to also come with black vinyl coloured instrument panel and facia.
A clue as to the level of recent service is that the tires appear to be 2016 date code. It makes you ask what other service is past it's due date?
