1972 FERRARI 365 GTC/4
--Azzuro Metalizatto with Blue leather interior and Blue carpets,
Restored, Cromodora 5-star wheels, Documented by Massini.
Designated for the U.S. market, this particular 365 GTC/4 was
delivered new to Bill Harrah’s Modern Classic Motors in Reno,
Nevada. It is believed that the car was kept by Harrah himself as
personal transportation and as such it is likely the July 1972 Road
& Track magazine cover car with the full road test featured
inside.
The car was later recorded as being owned by Paul Exton of Eureka,
California, still in its original color combination of Grigio
Argento over Nero Cogolo with red inserts. It remained on the West
Coast until at least 1985 and prior to purchase by Dan Harwitz of
Miami, Florida. By this time it had been painted Azzurro
Metallizzato paintwork with had a new black leather interior.
In May of 2011, the car had been purchased by Mario Bernardi of
Hann-Münden, Germany. During his ownership, the car was fully
restored and refinished yet again in its lovely shade of Azzurro
Metallizzato. It returned to the United States in 2013 when
purchased by Autosport Designs, Inc. and on behalf of one of our
clients. We were instructed to reupholster the interior in Blue
leather with matching Blue carpets to bring this GTC/4 to
absolutely superb condition throughout and as presented today.
More recently, a service by Autosport Designs to ensure it is in
excellent running condition, at this time it was fitted with new
Michelin XWX’s tires. This 365 GTC/4 is accompanied by a healthy
file of service and restoration documentation.
The 365 GTC/4 combines classic, aggressive Ferrari beauty with
practicality. Easily capable of taking to the open road for long
tours, this particular 365 GTC/4 is a wonderful example of the
breed.
