The Ferrari 275 GTS
Between 1964 and 1968 Ferrari built 200 GTS models meaning spyder or convertible. The bodywork designed by Pininfaria was different than its GTB brother. It’s predecessor was the famous 250 GT. Retaining the same 3.3 liter V12 as the GTB it is a beautiful, touring roadster.

This vehicle is driven to/in shows and events such as the Carolina Trophy and The Copperstate Classic. While it was in good shape it fell victim to a day of sap that was baked on throughout the day. The sap not only stuck it etched the paint. All efforts were made to remove the sap finally resulting in 3M Adhesive remover to remove the residue. The sap had etched the paint requiring a 3000 grit sanding in multiple place This vehicle was restored at the Ferrari factory near 30 years ago.

Outstanding job.
Tailpipes look like they need some "Roboshine".

[CONCOURS.JOHN]

Thanks for the compliments!

Good eye on the tailpipes. They are 40years old and starting to show. Have to replace the whole rear exhaust to fix. Resonators are in good shape so it will wait.
