Chassis 13171 is a 1970 Ferrari 365 GT 2+2, notable as one of only six examples delivered from the factory with an automatic gearbox — and the fifth of those six. Finished in rare Giallo Man O'War over Connolly Nero vaumol leather, it was originally distributed through Luigi Chinetti Motors. Unrestored and held in long-term storage since a 2007 acquisition, it represents an unusual survivor with original factory specification intact.

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.
