Ferrari 365 GTC/4 GTC/4 Very original, well maintained, Original color sch 1972
General description :
Whilst the Ferrari 365GTC/4 appears quite similar to the modern Ferrari Daytona, it was actually a completely new design. The 4.4 litre V12 with four overhead camshafts is the same as in the Daytona. The 365GTC/4 was given a much longer nose allowing the carburettors to be placed sideways so as to shoe the V12 into the flatter nose. The Colombo V12 develops 340 Ps attached to a 5-speed manual gearbox. Just like the Daytona the GTC/4 has independent suspension on all four wheels. The rear height can be hydraulically adjusted. The GTC/4’s looks were extremely advanced for its day, with its typical 70’s wedge shape. The exotic exterior is enhanced by the flip-up headlights, the rubber front bumper and matt black accent on its rear end. In contrast to the Daytona the 365/4 was primarily designed with the flip-up headlights and therefore are integrated better as a whole compared to the Daytona. The six rear lights are also a striking design feature. Another special feature was the extensive choice one had in the finish; no less than 46 external colours and 10 different shades for inside. They were able supply the client with for that period unique option of any external colour imaginable! The press praised the car’s braking, supple gearbox action and extensive choice of finish. The 365GTC/4 is a very rare creature these days. Only 500 were ever built excluding 4 prototypes. 194 of the 500 made their way to America, leaving only 265 over for Europe and the rest of the world. Of those 265, 41 were RHD cars. Overall only 224 365gtc/4 were supplied as LHD. This ”Marone Collorado” example is in very good original condition having been supplied from new in the States in 1972. Two years ago we sold this car to a collector who used it regularly and perfectly maintained it too. The car has only done 28,420 miles and has remained extremely original. The fine bodywork has nice and thin, correctly aligned panelwork. The paintwork was resprayed for purely cosmetic reasons and looks great. The chrome brightwork and alloy rims also are in splendid condition. It has lovely “Tan” coloured carpets and leather upholstery. The completely original interior looks a peach. The Ferrari 365GTC/4 was designed of course to travel the continent at speed and in all comfort. A specious boot, rear seats and air-conditioning are mandatory. The Ferrari 365GTC/4 has all of the aforementioned making it a joy to travel in. The car has been perfectly maintained in the last years by Germany’s top Ferrari expert: Eberlein in Kassel. The 4.4 litre V12 has a 5-speed manual and develops 320 Ps. The engine has 6 DCOE 38 Weber carburettors. The engine is in rude health and runs perfectly. Thanks to its good maintenance both the braking and suspension are in peak condition. The car drives as good as it looks. The Ferrari’s power build is surrounded by magic, every time you shift gear the magic starts all over again. This is a wonderful matching numbers, superbly original, great looking and mechanical majorly sound Ferrari 365GTC/4. 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.
