Chassis 17709 is a 1974 Ferrari 365 GT4 BB — the company's first mid-engined flat-twelve road car and the rarest of the Berlinetta Boxer line, with only 387 built. Delivered new on 16 March 1974 to a Venice dealer, it has remained in Italian hands throughout its life, passing through a documented sequence of owners including the RS Jolly Club racing team. It retains its original Rosso Dino finish, matching-numbers drivetrain, and a continuous Italian ownership history from new.

Are you the owner of this car?

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.
