Two rare Ferraris including one originally sold to Pirelli are headed for auction shortly.
made its debut at the 1964 Paris auto show, initially with a 3.3-liter V-12. It was Ferrari's first road car equipped with a transaxle and independent rear suspension, and it proved popular for both grand touring and racing.
The cars going up for auction feature the long-nose body by Scaglietti that Ferrari introduced in mid-1965 to reduce front lift at high speeds. They each also feature six carburetors and a lightweight alloy body designed for racing, hence the “6C” and"Alloy" designations in their names. The red car, which bares chassis no. 07809, is claimed in its listing to be the third of the long-nose 275 GTBs and the example displayed by Ferrari at the 1965 Turin auto show. It was initially purchased by privateer racer Luciano Conti and, among its campaigns, saw action at the 1966 Targa Florio. It raced under the number 228 but completed just two laps before it was forced to retire.
The yellow example, which bears chassis no. 08157, was originally sold to Pirelli, which used it for tire testing from 1966-'68. It features unique rear fender flares, believed to have been added by Pirelli to fit wider tires for testing. A photograph of it taken at a Pirelli test track was published in L.J.K. Setright’s “Ferrari” book.
After its days of tire testing were over, it was sold to Pietro Achilli in 1968. It then traded hands multiple times before its current owner purchased it in the mid-1990s. It was painted yellow during a restoration by the previous owner.This year's Monterey Car Week starts Aug. 11 and runs until Aug. 20, culminating would the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance.
