The Ferrari 365 GTC/4 is a 2+2 grand touring coupé introduced at the 1971 Geneva Motor Show, representing a development of the Daytona lineage with a lengthened chassis, Pininfarina wind-tunnel bodywork, and a 340 hp 4.4-litre V-12 using side-draft Weber carburettors derived from Ferrari's racing programme. This example, the 162nd of 500 built, was first registered in Germany in March 1973 and later relocated to the Canary Islands. Finished in its original Argento Auteuil with Nero leather, it shows approximately 33,000 kilometres on the odometer.

This car's public record is built from its auction and competition history. Register your ownership and privately add your own records to make it a verified Legacy Metrics passport — provenance that backs your car's value at sale and gives your insurer evidence to price against. Roy reviews and verifies every registration personally.

Each chassis record is compiled from public auction archives and links to its source material. Ownership, competition and maintenance entries are extracted from those catalogue listings by an LLM, which can make mistakes — please contact us with any corrections. The summary is Legacy Metrics’ own writing; we do not reproduce catalogue text.

“Full” and “partial” documentation labels indicate how well each entry is corroborated in the underlying sources, not an audit of the car’s physical paperwork. Names of recent or living owners are withheld for privacy.
