- Engine
- 4.4L DOHC V12 with six side-draft carburetors, 320 bhp
Ferrari 365 GTC/4 chassis 15211 is one of just 500 built during an 18-month production run beginning with the model's 1971 Geneva Motor Show debut. A 2+2 grand tourer sharing the Daytona's V-12 engine and angular styling but riding a longer wheelbase with ZF power steering, it was delivered new through Chinetti-Garthwaite Motors in Pennsylvania. After passing through several American hands and a period in California, the car was exported to Switzerland where marque specialist Bruno Wyess carried out a comprehensive restoration reportedly exceeding 262,000 Swiss Francs. It returned to the United States and took First in Class at the 2014 Santa Fe Concorso.
