1966 Ferrari 275 GTB/C at RM Sotheby’s Monterey 2022
A 1966 Ferrari 275 GTB/C, chassis #09067, estimate $7,500,000 – $9,000,000, is the most expensive car thus far announced for the RM Sotheby’s Monterey 2022 classic car sale.
This third-series 275 GTB/C benefits from sparing competition use in-period, fastidious care during a former 19-year ownership, and a recent three-year comprehensive restoration, resulting in one of the most original and well-presented examples of the venerable 275-based competition.
Certified as a matching-numbers example with a Ferrari Classiche Red Book and featured in Keith Bluemel’s well-regarded book Original Ferrari V12 1965-1973, this Ferrari is accompanied by a complete set of tools, as well as an extra set of Campagnolo Fuse alloys wheels with Michelin XWX tires.
