CMC 1/18 Ferrari 275 GTB/C Chassis 09063 Nassau Tourist Trophy, Pedro Rodriguez, No.4 1966

Chassis 09063 is the last LHD, completed in August 1966 at Carozzeria Scaglietti. It was delivered new to Mexican racing driver Pedro Rodriguez in Rosso Rubino (Ruby Red), and the purchase was partially funded by Ennio Gerardi, Chinetti’s supporter, in an effort to keep Rodriguez loyal to NART. The new 275 GTB/C was debuted in the combined Tourist Trophy and Governor’s Trophy on December 2, 1966 with Rodriguez at its wheel to take a class win and a seventh overall finish. After the impressive result in Nassau, Rodriguez entered his GTB/C in the 24 Hours of Daytona in February 1967. When he was offered to drive the N.A.R.T. Ferrari 412P, Rodriguez enlisted Carlos Salas Guterrez and Hector Rebaque Sr. to drive his 09063. The GTB/C, however, had to retire early from the race due to an accident. After Daytona, 09063 was repaired, fitted with 6 twin carburetors and repainted in the official colors of N.A.R.T. red with a blue-white-blue center stripe. Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, 09063 was raced and exhibited extensively in the US, mostly by its subsequent owners at various historic motorsport events. Between 1992 and 1994, the car was completely restored to concours quality and the original Rosso Rubino livery as raced by Rodriguez in the Bahamas. Since then the beautifully-preserved 09063 has earned a string of awards, including “First in Class,” “Finest Competition Ferrari,” and “Best of Show” honors. What with its impressive racing history and provenance, 275 GTB/C 09063 is among the most sought-after Ferrari GT cars and belongs in a legendary line of thoroughbreds from Ferrari that include 250 GT TdF, 250 GT SWB, 250 LM, and 250 GTO.
