Default Steve McQueen with his 1967 Ferrari 275 GTB/4

This is s/n 10621, a 275 GTB/4 built in late 1967. It was shipped, 22 November 1967, from Leghorn, Italy, on the M/V Jamestone, to San Francisco, from which it was trucked to Reno, NV, where it was sold to its original owner, the super cool guy with the sunglasses in the picture.

Beautiful..nothing sounds like a 4 cam ,6 Weber, vee 12 engine at full chat.

Many great engine sounds from sports cars over the years.

I'll toss my car in the ring as a strong contender.
