A Parise of Vicenza, Italy decal preserved on the rear windscreen, indicates they either sold or serviced the GT4 early on. This home market 365 appears to have later made its way into German residency sometime in the early-mid 1980's, suggested by a supplemental VIN tag, 1984 dated German seatbelts and period (unused) first aid kit. And eventually, the GT4 traveled across the pond and has seen Massachusetts residency for at least the last two decades under the care of one owner. The car has remained thoughtfully preserved, yet never restored.In years past, an exterior repaint in correct Blu Ribot (2.443.631) was commissioned, while the cabin displays factory installed Beige (VM 3234) leather upholstery. All interior electronics appear to be in working order, including the clock, Blaupunkt Frankfurt radio, windows and A/C fan speeds. All glass shows original etchings, along with the front windshield recommended tire pressures decal for the Michelin XWXs on the Chromodora 7.5x15inch wheels. 18715's undercarriage is remarkably solid, well-presented, uniform in fit/finish and presents factory original spotwelds and sheet metal. Both engine and luggage compartments are tidy, noting both bonnet pads have been removed and do accompany the sale, along with several other small original parts. The rear also contains its correct jack, wrench and lug nut socket in roll, along with a European emergency triangle and wheel spanner for the Rudge knockoffs. A body number stamping is visible on the spare wheel well pan.The GT4comes to us out of long term storage and currently displays 108,568 kms (67,461 miles). The Ferrari's front mounted V12 consistently reads 175+ psi of compression across the board, in running and driving order, although a complete inspection of all mechanical systems and brake service is recommended prior to road use. Remarkably the underside of the car has really impressed, it is highly original, very solid and nicely detailed.

About Ferrari
The first Ferrari road car was the 125 S introduced in 1947 and powered by a 1.5 L V12 engine, right? Well it's not quite that simple, Ferrari did in fact produce e Tipo 815, in 1940. Tipo 815 was designed by ex-Alfa Romeo engineers Alberto Massimino and Vittorio Bellentani and by Enrico Nardi under Enzo's company but legal issues with the former associate Alfa Romeo prevented Ferrari from launching the Ferrari marque at that point.
Enzo did produce a series of fine road cars in the 50's and 60's but they were merely to finance his true passion racing, wheather GT/Sports car or Grand Prix. The 50's saw the birth of Ferrari's most memorable cars, 250 GTB (tour de France) 250 Testa Rossa, 250 GT swb just to name a few.
Under the surface tension was growing though. In November 1961 long-time sales manager Girolamo Gardini made an ultimatum to Enzo: if tensions continued, he would leave the company. As a result, Gardini was ousted, as well as Scuderia Ferrari manager Romolo Tavoni, chief engineer Carlo Chiti, experimental sports car development chief Giotto Bizzarrini, and a number of others who stood by them.
Without Chiti and Bizzarrini the development of what was to become the most quintessential Ferrari and today the world's most expensive car, 250 GTO, was at a pivoting point. 250 GTO project was saved by a young engineer Mauro Forghieri and long-time racing bodyman Sergio Scaglietti who stepped in and took over the program with known results.
In addition to 250 GTO, Ferrari launced such master pieces as 250 LM, 250P, 275 GTB, 365 GTB/4 "Daytona" during the the 60's
By the late 60's Ferrari's prototypes' success came to a sudden halt by a new competitor, GT40. Ford turned to Lola to produce a Ferrari beating long distance racer after Enzo had cut the deal off with Henry Ford II making the latter absolutely boil with fury. The collaboration between Ford and Lola created the mighty Ford GT40 that gave Ferrari some heavy hits in Le Mans 24 to come.
By the end of the 60's FIAT purchased 50% of the company, starting a development that has led to a new mass-produced era of Ferraris.
