Ferrari 365 GTC/4 GTC/4 Only 505 made! 1972
General description :
The Ferrari 365GTC/4 may look like a modern version of the Ferrari Daytona, it was in fact a completely newly designed model. The 4.4 litre V12 with four overhead cams is the same one used in the Daytona. The 365GTC/4 actually has a longer bonnet which meant the carburettors were situated at the side. This in turn had one purpose only: To allow the V12 to fit into the slimmer nose. The Colombo V12 delivers 340 Hp through its 5-speed gearbox. As is the case with the Daytona, the 365GTC/4 has independent suspension on all four wheels. The rear ride height is hydraulically adjustable. The external appearance of the 365GTC/4 was very advanced for the time. The Ferrari 365GTC/4 has that typical 70’s wedge shape. Its exotic looks are complimented by hidden headlights, rubber bumpers and matt black rear taillight panel. The 365GTC/4’s hidden headlights were a primary design feature and as such were seamlessly integrated as opposed to those of the Ferrari Daytona. From the rear the six separate taillights are quite striking. Another remarkable feature was the availability of 46 different exterior colours and 10 different interior finishes. The exterior finish could even be customized to any colour a client could wish for, unique for its time! At its introduction the 365GTC/4 was lauded by the press for its good brakes, fine gearbox shift and the extensive choice of finish options. The 365GTC/4 is a rarity. Only 500 were made excluding the extra 4 prototypes. Of the 500, 194 went to the States, leaving only 265 cars for Europe and the rest of the world. 41 of the 265 were RHD leaving only 224 LHD 365GTC/4 version over. This specific example was supplied in 1972 to Ferrari dealer Chinetti in New York. The car spent many years on the US east coast. During this time only dealer and specialist were used in serving and maintenance. In 2015 the car was exported to Switzerland. The importation process and necessary maintenance were all carried out by the Modena Motors Ferrari dealer in Geneva. It wont come as any surprise that our Ferrari 365 GTC/4 passed the very strict Swiss MOT with flying colours. This car is in excellent condition. The Rosso Corsa paintwork is good with only minute signs of wear. The fine Tan leather interior has a lovely patina. The bodywork is in perfect shape with correct shut lines. The chrome Borrani spoke wheels are a very striking feature and compliment the exterior perfectly. Mechanically speaking the Ferrari 365 GTC/4 is also in very good shape. Thanks to the low-mileage, dedicated servicing and maintenance the engine has never needed an overhaul. For the time being this rare Ferrari does not need anything other than the occasional full tank of fuel. The Colombo V12 is a master piece that makes every ride unforgettable. This is how a Ferrari GT should be: Bloodcurdlingly fast and gorgeous! Gallery Aaldering is Europe’s leading Classic Cars specialist since 1975!

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.
