About the car offered here:

Marque historian Marcel Massini indicates this 275 GTB/4 was completed in fall 1967. Carozzeria Scaglietti finished the coachwork in brilliant and distinctive colors; Verde Pino (Pine Green) with an Arancia (Orange) leather interior. Though it was originally destined for sale in Italy, with delivery slated for Crepaldi’s dealership in Milan, the new Ferrari was grouped in a package of cars and delivered to official US distributor Luigi Chinetti Motors. In November 1967, Chinetti sold 10563 to west coast Ferrari distributor, Modern Classic Motors, Bill Harrah’s dealership in Reno, Nevada. In January 1968, 10563 was sold to its first private owner, the Hodges Chemical Company of Burlingame, California. A series of photographs taken in 1969 show the Ferrari as a virtually new car, wearing black-and-yellow California license plates, numbered “VYA 674.” In July 1971, the second owner, Roger Selby of Redwood City, California purchased the car. Mr. Selby, an avid enthusiast and successful motorcycle dealer, kept the four-cam for over five years before selling it to Harley Cluxton’s Grand Touring Cars, Inc. in Phoenix. After having its engine and transaxle rebuilt, the Ferrari was sold to Mark Magruder, a resident of Grand Junction, Colorado. Magruder owned the car for a brief period, selling it back to Mr. Cluxton in October 1977. In April 1978, Mr. Cluxton sold the four-cam to well-known collector Dr. Ronald Finger of Savannah, Georgia. Dr. Finger owned many important Ferraris during this period, including an aluminum-bodied 275 GTB/4 and a 250 GTO, both raced by Chinetti’s North American Racing Team. He retained 10563 until 1981, subsequently selling it to James “Kirk” Kircher of Ludington, Michigan. Mr. Kircher was the first owner to display 10563 as a show car, entering it in the Ferrari Club of America National Meeting held in Asheville, North Carolina, in June 1981 and at the next two FCA National Meetings, in 1982 and 1983, earning back-to-back Best in Class awards. In late 1983, the prize-winning 275 GTB/4 was sold, via The Stables Ltd., to respected collector Sherman M. Wolf of Amherst, New Hampshire. Well-known in Ferrari circles, Mr. Wolf was a passionate enthusiast who lovingly maintained and regularly enjoyed campaigning cars in events such as the Colorado Grand. Mr. Wolf kept 10563 until 1998, when it was sold to Mel Weiss of Kinnelon, New Jersey. The car remained in his possession until 2009, when the Ferrari changed hands again. The new owner was Orin Smith, from Vero Beach, FL, USA. Via the dealer Peter Kumar, Gullwing Motor Cars, based in New York, USA, the 275 GTB/4 arrived in Japan in May 2017, where it was registered for the first time in the same month. The car spent the following 4 years in the collection of its Japanese owner. In July 2021, the Ferrari was sold and exported to its current owner in Europe.
