The 1967 Ferrari 275 GTS/4 NART Spyder, chassis number 10749, is not just a car but a living piece of automotive history, set to dazzle at the Kissimmee 2024 auction. This iconic vehicle weaves together a rich tapestry of Italian engineering and American racing heritage, emblematic of the famed North American Racing Team (NART) and the visionary Ferrari dealer Luigi Chinetti.
