He Sold For $623,696: Meet Clint Eastwood's Ferrari That Became The Envy of Hollywood

When you think of Clint Eastwood, you probably imagine a cowboy hat, a steely glare, and a one-liner that could drop a bad guy faster than a six-shooter. But when it came to life off-screen, Clint also had a soft spot for something a little flashier—and faster: a 1966 Ferrari 275 GTB Berlinetta. Keep scrolling for more details about this classic machine.

And not just any Ferrari-this beauty was gifted to him by legendary Italian film producer Dino De Laurentis. 

Forget horses-this was a prancing horse Clint could get behind.

Here's the twist: Eastwood didn't just buy this Ferrari. He earned it. His tough negotiations for the movie "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly" became legendary, delaying filming but ultimately securing him a hefty sum - $250,000, 10% of the profits.

The 1966 Ferrari 275 GTB packed some serious muscle under that sleek, curvy hood. It was powered by a 3.3-liter V12 engine, a marvel of engineering at the time and still one of the most beloved engines in Ferrari history.

With around 280 horsepowe, it wasn't just a car-it was a full-blown Italian opera on wheels. The 275 GTB Could hit speeds over 150 mph, making it one of the fastest road cars of its era. 

Let's just say, if Dirty Harry needed a getaway car, this Ferrari would've done the trick in style 

Inside the 275 GTB, everything was about minimalist luxury. 

Soft leather seats, a thin, wood-rimmed steering wheel, and a cockpit that wrapped around the driver made it feel more like a fighter jet than a typical sports car.

No touchscreen. No voice-activated anything. Just a pure mechanical connection between the driver, the road, and that glorious V12 soundtrack echoing behind you.

For a guy like Eastwood-tough, no-nonsense, and a little old-school--it was a perfect match.

((What's It Worth Today?))

When Clint's 1966 Ferrari 275 GTB hit the auction block in 2004, it fetched a cool $623,696 at Bonhams. 

Considering the car's Hollywood history and its status as one of Ferrari's most iconic models, that price sounds like a bargain today. 

(Spoiler: modern 275 GTBS often sell for well over $2 million now!)
