1966 GTB/4 Ownership

What leads the fortunate stewards of these mechanical masterpieces to consider a transition? For many 1966 Ferrari 275 GTB/4 custodians, the decision reflects both investment strategy and practical considerations. These landmark automobiles have experienced exceptional market evolution, with investment-grade examples now regularly achieving $3.4-5.2 million at prestigious auction events, reflecting their status as the first of just 330 GTB/4 models ever produced. The timing considerations surrounding these vehicles have become increasingly sophisticated, with many collectors strategically managing them within broader investment portfolios. Simultaneously, the specialized maintenance requirements present unique challenges, particularly for first-production models with their specific technical characteristics. The growing scarcity of technicians intimately familiar with the intricacies of the quad-cam engine—featuring its complex timing chains, six Weber carburetors, and dry-sump lubrication system—often influences owners’ decisions to entrust these treasures to new guardians.

Ferrari 275 GTB/4 – Several attributes make it especially coveted:

Historical Significance and Innovation: The 275 GTB/4, introduced in 1966, represented the ultimate development of the 275 platform. Its defining feature was the sophisticated four-cam version of the Colombo V12 engine, producing 300 horsepower – a significant improvement over its two-cam predecessor. This engine, with its dual overhead camshafts per cylinder bank, set new standards for road-going Ferrari performance.

Engineering Excellence: The GTB/4’s engine featured dry-sump lubrication, six Weber carburetors, and the highest specific output of any road-going Ferrari V12 to date. Combined with the already advanced transaxle gearbox and independent rear suspension, the GTB/4 represented the pinnacle of 1960s Ferrari engineering.

Production Rarity: With only 330 examples produced, the GTB/4 remains one of the rarest and most sought-after variants of the 275 series. The model’s limited production run, combined with its technical sophistication and historical importance, has made it particularly desirable among serious collectors.

Design Evolution: Building on the long-nose body style of the later two-cam GTB, the GTB/4 featured subtle refinements that made it even more visually striking. The distinctive bulge on the hood, necessary to accommodate the taller engine, became a hallmark of the model and a visual identifier of its enhanced performance capabilities.

If you’re thinking about buying a 1966 Ferrari 275 GTB/4, youve come to the right place! The last and most desirable model of the Ferrari 275 series, the Ferrari 275 GTB/4 was revealed at the Paris Motor Show in 1966. The 4 stands for four camshafts, in comparison with the 2-cam V12s fitted on the first models between 1964 and 1965. The Ferrari GTB/4 model differs from the standard version by its longer nose and slimmer bonnet. Designed by Pininfarina and built by Scaglietti, the body uses mainly steel and features aluminum doors, boot lid and bonnet, although few examples boasted full aluminum bodies. Alloy wheel with a ten-hole design came standard, with the option of ordering Borrani wire wheels. Powered by a 3.3-Liter V12 engine developed for the 1965 prototype racers, the car produces up to 300hp. The revised cylinder heads with four camshafts and dry-sump lubrication system increased the performance of the car significantly over the previous models.

“Dealing with Alex in selling my car was one of the easiest transactions in buying or selling a vehicle I have ever had. Alex and his entire team are extremely professional and a true pleasure to deal with. I recommend strongly to anyone buying or selling a vehicle to contact Alex Manos.”

“Fast easy transaction. Thank you!”

“There’s two words that describe this man. Class and Professionalism. This transaction could not have gone any smoother. For starters this guy answers the phone himself -no voicemails. If he’s out to a meeting, he’ll get back with you, he answers the phone. I spoke to him about what I had, he told me to send him pictures. And within minutes of looking at the pictures we agreed on a fair offer. After hanging up the phone, I kid you not, within two minutes his transport company called me to schedule the pick up the following morning -within about two hours of making the transaction. he sent me a picture of a cashiers check made out in my name. The pick up was easy breezy the transport guy had the paperwork to sign, gave me a cashiers check in my name and he picked up the car took all of five minutes. If you’re selling your exotic or luxury car this is the guy you want to choose. no drama, no stress. I don’t think across the whole United States or even throughout the World you can do an easier more hassle free transaction then with Alex Manos. he literally takes all the stress out of selling your car and he is a fair and honest person which is not easy to come by in the car industry. Ten Stars!!!!!!! “

“Very hassle free transaction. The funds for selling the car were available in a very short time and the transporter picked up the car in a minimum amount of time. Paperwork was a snap. The only complaint I have is that the selling price was somewhat less than I was hoping for but I understand the market is down and the car cannot command a high selling price. This was the third car I have sold to Alex and every transaction has gone without a hitch.”

“The whole experience start to finish was a pleasure. I had listed my car online with not much feedback, I decided to send a few pics to Alex. We agreed on a price bing boom bang, they sent check, sent truck to pick up and my Florida Ferrari is now in Southern California in a new home. Many thanks to Alex and his whole crew awesome job.”

“Once I decided to sell my Ferrari, the process was very quick and efficient. Everything I discussed with Alex in the initial conversation regarding payment and shipping was followed thorough in a very professional manner. It was hard selling the car after 18 years but the transaction was very smooth and I would recommend Alex to anyone.”

Dennis C.

August 23, 2019

“I sold my Ferrari to Alex in a very comfortable and efficient manner. He quoted me a price, I said yes, and within 15 minutes the money was in my account. It was hard to believe that we could conduct such a transaction, so quickly and painlessly. Alex has assembled a cadre of people whose only goal is to help and make the deal equitably, and effortlessly, so all concerned are satisfied. I would endorse and recommend to anyone. You will not be disappointed.”
