Auto Show
Exciting "Garage-Find" of an Enzo Era V12
The 365 GT 2+2 was built for the sporting enthusiast with
additional comfort, giving the quintessential 1960s vintage Ferrari
experience with the last of the curvaceous Pininfarina-bodied grand
tourers, powered by the final iteration of the Colombo V-12 two-cam
engine. The inclusion of additional convenience and luxury features
further enhanced the car's drivability, while the familiar
front-mounted 4.4 liter V12 and striking Pininfarina styling
ensured that the car retained all of the traditional positive
Ferrari traits. Often called the "baby Superfast" it has a timeless
style and uncompromising performance, so common among the greatest
Ferrari's classics Grand Touring cars.
12223 was completed in February 1969 (Assembly Sequence #891) and
delivered new to Chinetti Motors for display at the 1969 Chicago
Motor Show in stunning Blu Ribot (dark blue) paint 2.443.631 over
Beige leather VM 3218, in U.S. Specification, optioned with Power
Windows, Power Steering & Air Conditioning. It subsequently passed
through the hands of a few loving U.S. caretakers, (as documented
by Mr. Peter Perry a steward of the Queen Mother from 1998-2004)
taking up residence in the Pacific Northwest from the late-1980's
until 2015. The current recorded mileage of 55,430 tracks
consistently and is believed to be accurate and original. Its
current paint scheme was applied in the 1990's and exhibits flaws
and aging in areas, while the tan leather upholstery and black
carpeting was freshened around 1980 and remains very
presentable.
Chassis 12223 was a running and driving car about three years ago
but a compression test was done which showed compression of 175psi
on 9 cylinders and 45psi on the other 3 cylinders. The piston rings
need to be replaced. Likely due to a long period of storage the
Ferrari is in need of servicing and top end rebuild at a minimum to
reach its full and celebrated performance potential that these
Queen Mothers are famous for. Ferrari's 365 GT 2+2 is a gentleman's
sports car with the pedigree to match.
This 365 has matching body panels stamped #891 also the original
Blue Ribot paint is found in several areas (pitctured).
With a great history attached to it and attractively priced leaving
room to do the needed work, this rare 365 GT presents a great
opportunity. We encourage and welcome questions, inspections and
inquiries.
