1966 Ferrari 275 GTB Long Nose Alloy Estimate: $2,900,000-$3,200,000
Designed by Pininfarina with coachwork by Scaglietti, the Ferrari 275 GTB Long Nose Alloy is the ultimate
road-going 275 GTB Ferrari. Scaglietti built just 205 examples with the desirable long nose body style, of
which only 80 were the lightweight aluminum variants. The alloy-bodied 275 GTB presented here, chassis
08117, was completed in late 1965 and finished in the elegant color scheme of Grigio Argento Metallizzato
(silver) over a black leather interior. The car was restored by Italian specialists Brandoli, Sauro and Luppi,
who upgraded the engine from its original three-carburetor setup to the more desirable six-carburetor
arrangement for enhanced performance. Offered for sale in the US for the first time in over 15 years, this
superb 1960s berlinetta has been Ferrari Classiche certified and presents a great opportunity for the
discerning collector.
1965 Ferrari 500 Superfast Estimate: $2,800,000-$3,200,000
Introduced at the Geneva Auto Show in March 1964, the Ferrari 500 Superfast was the ultimate offering to the
marque’s wealthiest clients. Only 36 examples were built and the price matched the exclusivity, as the 500
Superfast was nearly double the price of any other Ferrari the company offered in the 1960s. Equipped with a
5.0-liter V-12 producing 400hp, this sleek missile was capable of nearly 175 mph, yet was also very
comfortable for long-distance touring. The stunning Series I 500 Superfast offered here, chassis 5989SF, is
an original left-hand drive car and only the seventh example built. Sold new in California, beautifully restored
by leading West Coast specialists, and Ferrari Classiche certified, this stunning 500 Superfast is a unique
opportunity for the true connoisseur of the finest classic cars. These cars are rarely offered at public auction,
and today, as when new, they remain one of Ferrari’s finest bespoke Gran Tourers.
1969 American Motors AMX/3 Estimate: $900,000-$1,300,000
In 1968, American Motors sought to focus on more performance-based products that could better compete
with foreign competition and infuse excitement in the brand. Richard “Dick” Teague, the head of design at
AMC, was tasked with designing a mid-engine sports car, which resulted in the AMX/3 program. The program
collaborated with other firms, which included BMW, ItalDesign and Bizzarrini to assist with the engineering
and design elements of the AMX/3. This example is known as the Monza car, due to the aerodynamic
development that Bizzarrini put it through at the racetrack in 1970, testing that resulted in a top speed of 170
mph. After an extensive concours-quality restoration, this AMX/3 won First in Class at the 2016 Pebble Beach
Concours d’Elegance®, in the featured Bizzarrini class. This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of American
automotive history.
1975 Lancia Stratos HF Stradale Estimate: $500,000-$600,000
The Lancia Stratos was built with one mission in mind, to win World Rally Championship titles. With a
chassis and engine from the Ferrari Dino and a striking design by Bertone, the Stratos looked like nothing
else the world had ever seen and went on to win three consecutive titles. The road-going version of the famed
rally car, such as the example presented here, chassis 001948, was completed at Bertone’s Grugliasco
works in 1974 and painted in the rare Azzuro (Blue) livery. This particular car was once part of Peter Kaus’s
famed Rosso Bianco Collection in Germany. Only 492 examples were produced, and this Stradale example is
one of the best Lancia Stratos ever offered for public sale. It has undergone a recent comprehensive cosmetic
and mechanical restoration and ready to be enjoyed by its next owner.
