1965 Ferrari 275 GTS Spider

Overview:
Offered here is a 1965 Ferrari 275 GTS Spider, one of just 200 examples produced during its brief run. First unveiled at the 1964 Paris Motor Show alongside the 275 GTB, the 275 GTS marked Ferrari’s return to the open-top market following the conclusion of 250 GT California production. With elegant Pininfarina styling and refined road manners, the GTS presented a more luxurious, grand touring interpretation of Ferrari’s race-inspired Berlinetta. This example, finished in black with just 11,000 miles and three owners, is a superb representation of one of Ferrari’s most exclusive and desirable mid-1960s open sports cars.

Exterior:
The 275 GTS is distinguished by its flowing, timeless Pininfarina lines, offering a smoother and more classic profile compared to the GTB Berlinetta. The design integrates a long hood, balanced proportions, and elegant detailing, creating a convertible with enduring aesthetic appeal. This example presents in striking black, emphasizing the subtle curves and understated sophistication that set the GTS apart. Chrome bumpers, wire wheels, and delicate brightwork highlight its authenticity and elegance, while the overall fit and finish underscore the craftsmanship of Ferrari’s mid-1960s coachbuilding.

Interior:
The cabin pairs sporting simplicity with refined Italian craftsmanship. Upholstered in leather, the interior retains its period-correct layout, featuring supportive bucket seats, a wood-rimmed steering wheel, and a clear instrument cluster. The design emphasizes driver engagement while offering comfort for extended touring, reflecting Ferrari’s intention to produce a car equally suited to spirited drives and grand touring. The preserved authenticity of the interior enhances the car’s desirability as a collector-grade example.

Mechanical:
At its heart is a 3.3-liter Colombo-designed V12 engine producing 260 horsepower, paired with a five-speed manual transmission. Compared to the Berlinetta, the GTS featured slightly softer tuning and a longer rear axle ratio, prioritizing smooth, flexible power delivery and comfortable high-speed cruising. Independent suspension on all four wheels and a short wheelbase chassis provide excellent handling balance, ensuring the GTS delivers the poise and responsiveness that define Ferrari’s mid-1960s V12 models.

Ownership and Mileage:
This car has had three owners and now shows just 11,000 miles, a remarkable figure that underscores its preservation and careful stewardship. Its originality, low mileage, and rarity make it a standout example for collectors seeking an investment-grade Ferrari Spider.

Significance:
The Ferrari 275 GTS Spider holds a special place in the marque’s lineage as the first Ferrari convertible with a short wheelbase and fully independent suspension. Produced in just 200 units, it remains among the rarest and most sought-after open-top Ferraris of its era. Blending beauty, exclusivity, and performance, the 275 GTS exemplifies the transition from Ferrari’s raw racing machines to elegant grand tourers.
