We are pleased to offer 275 GTS s/n 07359 GT/S, one of only two hundred 275 GTS Pininfarina Spyders built during the entire production run which spanned from 1964 to early 1966. Sharing the chassis and running gear with the 275 GTB, including the Tipo 213 engine and rear mounted 5 speed transaxle, they are wonderful and fast road cars, with period road tests reporting 0–60 times in the low–6 second range and a top speed of nearly 150 MPH.
275 GTS s/n 07359 GT/S was a gift to its first owner, the lovely Raquel Welch. Both the car and Ms. Welch appeared in the 1967 movie “Fathom”, and Ms. Welch reportedly enjoyed driving the car so much during filming that the director gave it to her when they were done filming. Ms. Welch owned the car for a number of years, eventually selling it to a couple who have in turn owned it until recently.
This very original Spyder has just been fitted with a new stainless steel exhaust from Time Valve, had the bumpers rechromed, the distributors and carbs done, and a good tune. The service was approximately $8700 “in house”. The body and paint were also polished and detailed.
275 GTS s/n 07359 needs a new top and interior and the removal of the home made center console w/ 8 track. Other detail work is available at extra cost.
