Rare 1967 Ferrari 365 California Spyder to Headline Hillsborough Concours d’Elegance

Posted

One of the world’s rarest Ferraris will be on public display for just the second time in four decades.

For classic car lovers, few events rival the spectacle and prestige of the Hillsborough Concours d’Elegance—but this year, one showstopper promises to steal the spotlight: an ultra-rare 1967 Ferrari 365 California Spyder, one of just 14 ever built, will make a rare public appearance on June 22 at the 69th annual event held at Crystal Springs Golf Course in Burlingame, California.

It’s only the second time in more than 40 years that this Ferrari has been shown publicly, making it a once-in-a-generation opportunity to witness one of the final masterpieces of Ferrari’s America/California GT convertible lineage. The hand-built Pininfarina-designed roadster blends understated elegance with vintage V12 performance, boasting a 320-horsepower Colombo engine fed by triple Weber carburetors and backed by a 5-speed manual gearbox.

“This is one of those unicorn moments for collectors and fans alike,” said Glen Egan, Chairman of the Hillsborough Concours. “The Spyder isn’t just rare—it represents the end of an era, and we’re thrilled to offer the public a chance to see it up close.”

More Than a Car Show, A Celebration of Automotive Legends

The Concours isn’t just about one car. The event will also celebrate several automotive milestones, including:

  • 50 years of the Ferrari 308/328, arguably the most recognizable Ferraris of the modern era
  • A tribute to the turbocharged era, showcasing some of the wildest forced-induction performance machines
  • A salute to Cadillac and its legacy as a luxury icon
  • Celebrations for Volkswagen’s 90th anniversary of the Beetle and the 75th anniversary of the VW Bus
More than just a static display, the weekend is packed with enthusiast-focused events, including a vintage car rally through scenic Bay Area backroads and an exclusive Friday night kickoff party at a private vintage car club housed in a historic Burlingame location.

The Concours Legacy

Founded in 1956, the Hillsborough Concours d’Elegance holds the distinction of being the longest continuously running Concours in the world. It blends the spirit of old-school motoring with world-class automotive design, showcasing vehicles across every genre—from classic-era icons and muscle cars to modern exotics and handcrafted custom builds.

Hosted on the 18th fairway of the Crystal Springs Golf Course, the event’s picturesque setting is only matched by the caliber of vehicles on display. All proceeds from the weekend benefit local nonprofits, including AbilityPath, The Guardsmen, and the Hillsborough Schools Foundation.

Tickets and event details are available at Hillsborough Concours.

If you’re anywhere near Northern California this June, this is more than just a car show; it’s a curated journey through automotive history, and a rare chance to experience one of the most exclusive Ferraris ever made.
