1969 Ferrari 365 GT 2+2
- Engine
- 4.4L V12 with three Weber carburetors, 320 hp
- Colour
- Brown metallic (repainted; originally silver)
A 1969 Ferrari 365 GT 2+2, chassis delivered new in silver over beige to an Italian dealer before passing through several owners and eventually reaching the United States. Originally one of Ferrari's most luxurious and technologically advanced grand tourers of its era, the car carries a documented American ownership history from 1978 onward, survived structural damage during Hurricane Charley in 2004, and has been held in storage for decades, making it a significant restoration candidate.
