Rare Ferrari 275 GTS by Pininfarina Emerges With Pristine Pedigree and a $1.89M Price Tag
Read the full story on Modern Car Collector
A remarkably preserved 1965 Ferrari 275 GTS designed by Pininfarina has surfaced for private sale, drawing the attention of collectors worldwide. With only 200 units built during its short production run, this example—chassis 06819—is among the earliest, boasting impeccable originality, storied Italian ownership, and Ferrari Classiche certification. It's being offered at €1,750,000 ($1.89 million USD).
The 275 GTS was Ferrari's elegant answer to the open-top grand touring market, introduced alongside its Berlinetta sibling in 1964. While the Berlinetta carried Ferrari's motorsport DNA, the GTS delivered road-going poise with its front-mounted 3.3-liter V12 engine, rear-mounted five-speed transaxle, and independent rear suspension—a first for Ferrari at the time.
This particular example stands out for more than its mechanicals. Finished in rare Nero (black) over Nuvola blue leather, it departs from the more common Rosso Corsa finishes of the era. The restrained yet sophisticated color scheme amplifies the car's design purity, making it a standout at concours events or on scenic coastal drives.
Originally delivered to Milan publisher Dino Fabbri's wife in April 1965, the car remained in Italy for decades. It was then purchased by Cesare De Lucchi of Varese, who kept the Ferrari for the rest of his life. After his passing, his son Vittorio inherited the car before it changed hands and was exported to the UK and later France.
In 2004, the Ferrari received its Classiche certification, verifying that it retains its original chassis and engine. The gearbox was replaced with a correct-type unit—a common update for the model.
With fewer than 55,000 kilometers (34,000 miles) from new, and recently restored interior by Fratelli Luppi of Modena, this 275 GTS represents a rare fusion of aesthetic refinement, engineering excellence, and well-documented provenance.
As Ferrari moves deeper into hybrid and electric powertrains, classic models like the 275 GTS continue to gain appeal among collectors seeking timeless design and analog driving experiences.

STMicro Will Eliminate 5,000 Jobs in the Next Three Years, Says CEO
CEO Jean-Marc Chery revealed at a BNP Paribas event in Paris that STMicroelectronics N.V. (NYSE:STM) will lose 5,000 workers over the next three years, including 2,800 job layoffs that have already been publicized. A worker assembling the inner circuitry of a semiconductor product. It is anticipated that 2,000 of the total will depart naturally, with voluntary departures making up additional reductions. Chery pointed out that continuing talks with local authorities were the reason for implementation delays, especially in Italy. The French and Italian governments jointly share a 27.5% interest in STMicroelectronics N.V. (NYSE:STM), which employs 50,000 people worldwide. Its cost-cutting initiative, which was started in late 2024, is to reduce the workforce through early retirement and attrition in order to save hundreds of millions by 2027. In April, the business announced that 1,000 of the 2,800 scheduled layoffs would be voluntary in France. According to reports, the Italian government has opposed further cuts and has pushed to limit them to 1,000. Market declines and CEO-targeted insider trading accusations, which the company refutes, are additional factors putting pressure on the business. While we acknowledge the potential of STM as an investment, our conviction lies in the belief that some AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns and have limited downside risk.
