MassiniThe Torchbearer of Traditional Ferrari V-12 Power to the
Modern Era An ideally practical Ferrari grand tourer, 18715 was
completed on September 24, 1975, delivered to official dealer
Autoterminal and sold new to a Mr. Villa. A Parise of Vicenza,
Italy decal preserved on the rear windscreen, indicates they either
sold or serviced the GT4 early on. This home market 365 appears to
have later made its way into German residency sometime in the
early-mid 1980's, suggested by a supplemental VIN tag, 1984 dated
German seatbelts and period (unused) first aid kit. And eventually,
the GT4 traveled across the pond and has seen Massachusetts
residency for at least the last two decades under the care of one
owner. The car has remained thoughtfully preserved, yet never
restored.In years past, an exterior repaint in correct Blu Ribot
(2.443.631) was commissioned, while the cabin displays factory
installed Beige (VM 3234) leather upholstery. All interior
electronics appear to be in working order, including the clock,
Blaupunkt Frankfurt radio, windows and A/C fan speeds. All glass
shows original etchings, along with the front windshield
recommended tire pressures decal for the Michelin XWXs on the
Chromodora 7.5x15inch wheels. 18715's undercarriage is remarkably
solid, well-presented, uniform in fit/finish and presents factory
original spotwelds and sheet metal. Both engine and luggage
compartments are tidy, noting both bonnet pads have been removed
and do accompany the sale, along with several other small original
parts. The rear also contains its correct jack, wrench and lug nut
socket in roll, along with a European emergency triangle and wheel
spanner for the Rudge knockoffs. A body number stamping is visible
on the spare wheel well pan.The GT4comes to us out of long term
storage and currently displays 108,568 kms (67,461 miles). The
Ferrari's front mounted V12 consistently reads 175+ psi of
compression across the board, in running and driving order,
although a complete inspection of all mechanical systems and brake
service is recommended prior to road use. Remarkably the underside
of the car has really impressed, it is highly original, very solid
and nicely detailed.
