Vehicle Description
One of the most beautiful of Ferrari's Pininfarina-styled grand
touring 2+2s, the 412 represents the final evolutionary advancement
of Ferrari's GT class from the 365 of 1972. In fact this model was
the last Ferrari produced with the legendary Colombo designed
60-degree V12. With it's spacious interior and big 4.9 liter V12
Ferrari engine this car was built for high speed touring in
comfort.
Lotus chief designer Peter Stevens called the Ferrari's 2+2 series
the "most beautiful production car of all time."
The 412 is a rare model with only some 576 cars built during a
4-year run and they were not imported into the United States so
they are even rarer in this country. In fact a Countess in
Switzerland originally purchased this car. The current owner bought
this car from the Vice President of the Ferrari Club of France so
the provenance and service history of this particular Ferrari 412
is well known and documented.
The owner says the car comes with service records and Auvergne
Motors of Clermont-Ferrand did the last full service in March 2017,
which included a front suspension rebuild with new bushings. It has
new fuel pumps and the leather dash has been replaced. It also has
4 new Michelin TRX tires.
This 412 has the three speed automatic transmission found on only
306 412s. The 412'a 4.9-liter V12 put out 340 h.p. with the fuel
injected engine. This was the first Ferrari to feature anti-lock
brakes and this car has power steering.
The paint is original in Blue Sera Met and in good condition while
the interior of this 2-door 2+2 is beautiful in beige leather.
Bidders should also be aware that the owner says he has the
original Ferrari tool sets and all the original manuals in their
leather envelopes.
This is an opportunity to own a classic and rare Ferrari 412 2+2
with clear provenance that has in the words of the owner, "been
optimally maintained throughout its 32 year life."
