Vehicle Description
1970 Ferrari 365 GT 2+2 with Matching Numbers and 1 of Only 800
Produced This 1970 365GT 2+2 is a matching numbers example that has
been parked in a heated garage for the last 24 years. One of only
800 examples produced. Originally finished in desirable Argento
(Silver) paint with black leather upholstery. Chassis 13049 is a US
delivered car originally distributed through William F. Harrahs
Modern Classic Motors in Reno, Nevada, before being sold to an
owner in Austin, Texas. By the end of the decade, the 365 GT
assumed California-based ownership, and records from the Ferrari
Owners Club show that it was in the care of Barry Bellport of
Lafayette, California, in 1984. Around 1986, the Ferrari was sold
to David Hunt of Piedmont, California, and he commissioned the
esteemed marque expert Patrick Ottis to conduct a substantial
restoration that included a rebuild of the V-12 engine and related
mechanical components, including the braking and suspension
systems. In mid-1989, Harry Koue of nearby Aptos, California,
acquired the refurbished 365 GT from Ferrari of Los Gatos and
showed it on rare occasions, eventually commissioning a bare-metal
repaint in Rosso. Circa 1994, after he had driven the car little
more than 1,000 miles, Mr. Koue parked the 365 GT in a heated
garage in the company of his Dino 246 GT, and the cars enjoyed
hibernation together for the next 24 years.While this Ferrari has
recently undergone a basic service to return it to running order,
it will still require additional mechanical attention before use.
Remaining in very presentable cosmetic condition, this rare grand
touring Ferrari is now an excellent candidate for a full
concours-quality restoration, or it could simply be returned to the
road for driving enjoyment. Chassis: 13049Engine: 13049 -A Rare
