Chassis:
Ready in time for the 1966 edition of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, this was the second 275 GTB/C built. It was entered by Luigi Chinetti's North American Racing Team (NART) for gentleman racers Giampiero Biscaldi and Prince Michel de Bourbon-Parma. Having completed 218 laps, they were forced to retire with a gearbox issue. The car was then sold to legendary Reno, Nevada based casino mogul William Harrah. He entered the car for Bob Grossman and Denise McCluggage in the Road America 500 in September 1966 where they finished 12th overall and seventh in class. Retired from contemporary racing after the 1966 season, it has survived in a beautiful, original condition. Since 1980 and until very recently, it was owned by noted, New York based collector Anthony Wang.
