What We Know:
This GT6+ underwent a thorough restoration in North Carolina in the early 1990s at the hands of a previous owner. The restoration was a body-off job, with a photo-log containing roughly 100 photos of the project. The car has since changed hands a couple of times, residing in a Connecticut collection before we brought it to Chicago.

The Exterior:
Best known for his work with Ferrari, Maserati, BMW, and Lancia in the early 1960s, Giovanni Michelotti’s eye for beauty really shines with this car, it’s just gorgeous. The paint and chrome on this particular example shows very well with minimal signs of aging. Bright yellow does well to emphasize the very 1960s Italian-exotic-esque shape of the car, much more-so than the “pure white” (code: 19) that the car originally wore. Please look through the photos, every inch of the car is documented in detail. Please note: Our body shop (Albany Auto) is addressing the spot of surface rust below the rear hatch. It will be taken care of prior to sale. We will also provide a small amount of color-matched paint for any potential future needs.
The Interior:
As stamped on the VIN tag, the car was originally fitted with black vinyl interior (code: 11). Black vinyl has since been swapped out for black leather. Seats are in great shape, with the exception of a scrape on the side of the driver’s seat, which looks to be likely due to someone’s belt catching the seat while sliding down into the car. Dash is in great shape as well, with no cracks or wrinkles.
Under the Hood / Under the Car:
This car has seen a good bit of mechanical work over the years and it shows. Odometer reads 67,725 miles, though we cannot be positive that is accurate due to the fact that this car once underwent a restoration. Underbody is free of corrosion, with no cracks and very limited surface rust. Car starts right up, idles cool, shifts well, and brakes straight and effectively. Exhaust note is fantastic thanks to the Monza exhaust. This car does not have overdrive, and engine number reads KD57024 indicating it is a 1970 motor. We would be happy to provide additional underbody photos on request.
The Final Assessment:
While not entirely original, this GT6+ is a great example of a rare and stunningly beautiful car. It’s very well done and ready to be enjoyed and admired. If interested, give us a call at Evolve Motors today!
