Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Owner sues Ferrari when he can't buy an Aperta LaFerrari

[Jeff Kennedy (jkennedy.design]

Folks,

Preston Henn's 275 6885 should never be confused with a mere mortal 275.  It is one of 3 or 4 (depends upon who is counting) of what could more accurately be described as a GTO development/continuation.  This was the most race worthy of the group.  GTO with a 250/275 LM motor, GTO chassis with IRS.  The body is more an interpretation of a 275 GTB that a GTB.  6885 got banned out of the European races after a while because the FIA figured out just how much of a cheater car it really was.  It then came to the US with Chinnetti.  David Williams did an entire book on this car.

I'd have to do some digging, but there used to be a 275 here in the DC area w/ race history.  Roll cage, Nardi steering wheel supposedly signed by someone significant (which, iirc, was part of its provenance documenting said history), etc.  Was eligible in the late '90's for the Ferrari Historic Challenge.  Now, it may have been a converted road car, vice full "C" spec - I'm really not sure.  Sadly, owner passed away and I have no idea where the car went after that....

FWIW.

According to the article it's the only one with race history.

From the AutoWeek piece which Brian attached:

"The 275 GTB/C alone is worth nearly $100 million."

Whaaaaaaaat????

When a 250 GTO tops out at, what (?), 50-60M, a 275 *can't* be worth "nearly $100 million".  Even if it is a "C".....  Can it???
