1968 Ferrari 275 P2 (Michelotti)

Originally a 250 P from 1963, the car was converted to a 275 P. In races this car was very successfully with successes in 1963 and 1964. In 1965 the car burned out at St. Jovite. Michelotti rebodied the car. The result of that is mentioned here. In 1989 the car was restored by Autosport Bastiglia in Italy. In 1999 the car was restored to its original form in Italy.

“The creation of this 275 P represents an unprecedented collaboration of European and American philosophies,” read the sales card. ‘Coco’ Chinetti and commercial artist Bob Peak entrusted Michelotti to build their voluptuous co-designed body on a 275 P chassis, which had previously suffered fire damage at Le Mans. High-speed stability was a key consideration, apparently.
