1972 | Ferrari 365 GTC/4

Registration number: AM-49-85

The 1972 Ferrari 365 GTC/4 is a unique and sought-after classic from Ferrari, which had a brief production run and essentially served as a bridge between the production of the 365GT 2+2 and the 365 GT4 2+2. This Ferrari was first unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show in 1971 and was produced in a limited run of just 500 units, making it extremely collectible today. Although often overshadowed by its contemporary, the legendary Daytona, the 365 GTC/4 shares many of the same mechanical components, including a 4,390 cc V12 engine with four overhead camshafts. This engine is derived from the Daytona’s but features a wet sump and delivers 320 hp. The engine is mated to a conventional five-speed gearbox rather than a transaxle as in the Daytona, contributing to a more refined driving experience.

The design of the 365 GTC/4 is elegant and understated, with a low bonnet line made possible by the cylinder heads, which were modified to house side-mounted carburetors. This resulted in a sleek yet stylish appearance that made the car popular with more mature car enthusiasts. Despite the greater emphasis on comfort and refinement, the 365 GTC/4 remained an impressive performer, with a top speed of over 240 km/h and a quarter-mile sprint in under 16 seconds.

The example offered here is particularly valuable, as it was the official show car at the 1971 Paris Motor Show. This Ferrari, originally delivered by Ferrari Pozzi in Paris, is a highly desirable European version with a left-hand drive configuration. It is equipped with air conditioning, tinted glass, a Voxson radio, and electric windows. The car’s original color scheme, Marrone Colorado with a black leather interior, adds to its exclusive appeal. The vehicle is matching numbers and comes with the original brochure and extensive documentation tracing its history back several decades.

The car underwent a complete restoration and overhaul by a Dutch specialist, with all work professionally executed with attention to detail and preservation of authenticity. The exterior is in excellent condition, with a high-quality paint finish. The interior is equally stunning, with as much of the original interior preserved as possible, resulting in a beautiful cabin with exceptionally well-preserved original details. The dashboard and instruments are in great condition.

The V12 engine has been professionally overhauled and runs beautifully, with regular maintenance by renowned specialists to keep the engine in top condition. All invoices are available, and with a value of nearly €100,000, they attest to the careful and thorough maintenance this Ferrari has received. The car was recently serviced, further underscoring the extraordinary condition of this Ferrari 365 GTC/4. This car offers not only a beautiful piece of Ferrari history, but also a fantastic driving experience, wrapped in an elegant and timeless design.
