Ferrari 275 GTB "Le Mans Speciale", LHD
1st of 3 (maybe 4) 
Red
 
Alloy wheels, covered headlights, raised hood blister with chrome air induct, half bumpers on the front and full bumpers on the back, triple air inlets like a 250 GTO, Pobrejesky added these in the early 1970's, triple vents outside the rear wheels, four vents behind the front wheels and an outside fuel filler below right rear window.
 
The body shape is much different than the other two sister cars. Its body shape is not nearly as pretty. As the front end on the other two cars has a much more dramatic styling flare, whereas this car looks more like a standard 275 GTB.
 
The 275 GTB/LM's are powered by the type 213 engine, build to the same specifications as the 275 LM delivering 290-302 bhp.
