Vehicle Description
West Coast Classics are proud to present a 1970 Ferrari 365 GT 2+2
V12 5spd Coupe in the beautiful and highly desirable color
combination of original factory 'Giallo Fly Yellow' exterior paint
with its all original Black leather seats interior with only 64K
original miles and with reportedly only two southern California
owners since new and 1 of only 809 365GT 2+2 models built between
1967-71!Boasting only 64K original miles, the car, starts, runs and
drives, but after having been in long time storage since 2002 it
must be noted that the car will certainly require some mechanical
attention with the car having been recently inspected and serviced
at 64,083 miles at the renown Ferrari independent specialists 'KB
Motorsports' of San Marcos, CA who reported that there had been
signs of a coolant issue in the oil which would require a partial
engine disassembly / head removal / to confirm or correct whether
there is a head gasket or cylinder sleeve O-ring failure issue
after having been sitting for so long, or whether the engine had
maybe overheated prior to 2002, although at that time it was noted
that the oil had no signs of coolant present anymore. It should
also be noted that the rear air shocks have a slow leak. KB
Motorsports installed 4 new Pirelli Cinturato Lucas Classic tires,
new ignition switch, window switch, battery, oil change, new spark
plugs, carb kit etc and considered the car to be drivable and
indeed sellable, although it should be noted that it was further
noted that there is some backfiring through the front carburetor
that may be related to an internal intake valve sealing issue and
that as stated there is most likely a head gasket or internal
mechanical issue present . Service records available. The 1967-71
Ferrari 365GT 2+2 was almost all of Ferrari's then current GT ideas
wrapped up into one package and a replacement for the 330GT 2+2. It
carried the firms typical multi tubular chassis design but with new
all independent suspension. The engine was the big displacement V12
mated to a front mounted gearbox and 275GTB type rigid driveline.
It had the distinction of being Ferrari's largest car to date with
long classically refined styling by Pininfarina. It topped 150mph
despite its fairly hefty weight and size.This particular example
should be considered a very nice and honest southern California
example with an all original interior and no signs of any body
damage or accidents but that as described will certainly be
requiring mechanical attention in due course.
