Marcel Massini report
With superb looks and a striking resemblance to the legendary
Daytona, the 365 GTC/4 offers both exceptional comfort and stunning
performance. With more cabin space due to its elongated chassis,
the 365 GTC/4 can accommodate four passengers and their luggage and
whisk them all away in quintessential Italian style. Impressively
outfitted with ZF power steering, power brakes, a radio, and
sumptuous Italian leather, the 365 GTC/4 was purpose-built to carry
people across the continent at speed and in total comfort. One of
only 505 examples produced from 1971-1972, this Ferrari is much
rarer than both its predecessors.
According to marque historian Marcel Massini, this 365 GTC/4,
chassis no. 14969, was the 130th example built. It was delivered
new to Bill Harrah's Modern Classic Motors in Reno, Nevada, in U.S.
specification and fitted with power windows, air conditioning, and
instrumentation in miles. Though originally delivered in the
eye-catching Verde Medio Niyinsky, it has been repainted in its
current shade of Nero. The paint remains in excellent condition
overall, while the interior appears to be largely original and
shows a beautiful, inviting patina throughout. It wears highly
attractive Cromodora wheels shod with Michelin tires and has been
fitted with an aftermarket Blaupunkt stereo system. Included in the
sale is its Ferrari tool kit, jack, and manual.
Considered by many to be the most practical iteration of the famed
Ferrari Daytona, the 365 GTC/4 combines aggressive Ferrari beauty
and the iconic Colombo V-12 with exceptional practicality. Easily
capable of taking to the open road for long-distance tours at
speed, this particular 365 GTC/4 is a wonderful and highly usable
example of the breed.To view this car and others currently
