[DeTomaso] High priced Pantera for sale

[Gray Gregory]

Another typo! The 64 cars were short nose but they were all 2 cam cars. As the article says the 4 cam engine was introduced in 66 a year after the change to the long nose body. The 2 cam cars, both long and short nose, are 275GTB's The 4 cam cars are 275GTB/4's. The article wrongly uses 275GTB/4 in reference to both cars.

Au contraire, Gray. The first 275 GTB/4 (which I assumed is what we were talking about), launched in 1964, was dubbed the "short nose" to distinguish it from the later versions (1965 on), which had a "longer" nose to decrease front end lift.

All the 4 cam 275's were long nose so I assume it was just a typo and the car is a 274GTB4? And yes many orders of magnitude more than a Pantera. A 4 cam is a $2mil + or =  car and if it's a 250SWB even more than double that.

And a 275 4 cam Ferrari is worth orders of magnitude more than a Pantera! Michael, I believe all 275 Ferraris were the same wheelbase. Perhaps you meant "short NOSE" vs. long NOSE.
