Geocache Description:


Welcome to the twentieth in the Gone in 60 Seconds Series

If you are familiar with the movie you will know that there was a list of 50 cars that needed to be boosted (stolen), you do not need to steal any cars to find this cache. To complete the series there will be another 30 caches hidden named after the remaining cars on the list, this is the twentieth one on the list 1967 Ferrari 275 GTB4 - Nadine

Introduced at the Paris Motor Show in October 1966, the Ferrari 275 GTB/4 (or 4-cam) used the same basic platform as the early 275 GTB with mostly mechanical improvements. The Scaglietti-built bodywork was largely the same as the series II "long-nose" 275 GTB, with the most visible difference being an added hood bulge with creased edges. Campagnolo magnesium alloy wheels sized 14x7 were standard equipment, while traditional Borrani wire wheels were a special-order option.

The engine was the Tipo 226 3285.72 cc Colombo V12, derived from the earlier Tipo 213 275 engine with two valves per cylinder, but now upgraded with four overhead valves and six Weber 40 DCN carburetors as standard. This engine produced a claimed 220 kW. In a departure from previous Ferrari designs, the valve angle was reduced three degrees to 54° for a more-compact head. The dual camshafts also allowed the valves to be aligned perpendicular to the camshaft instead of offset as in SOHC engines. The engine used a dry-sump lubrication system with a large 16 L capacity.

Improvements from the series II 275 GTB were carried over to the 275 GTB/4, including the torque tube connecting the engine and transmission. In addition to the upgraded engine, the 275 GTB/4 had several minor improvements to the cooling system, exhaust and suspension. The 275 series were the first road-going Ferraris equipped with a transaxle and independent rear suspension. The Ferrari 275 GTB/4 had a claimed top speed of 268 km/h.

Just like stealing cars, stealth must be used at all times.
