1972 Ferrari 365 GTC/4
- Engine
- Colombo V12
- Colour
- Metallic blue ('Azzurro Metallizzato')
The Ferrari 365 GTC/4 is a rare 500-unit grand tourer produced over roughly 18 months, sharing visual DNA with the Daytona while adding genuine four-seat practicality on a lengthened chassis. Chassis 14891 was delivered new to Bill Harrah's Reno dealership and is believed to have served as Harrah's personal transport, likely appearing on the cover of Road & Track in July 1972. After passing through several American owners, it was comprehensively restored in Germany before returning to the United States.
