Colour
Azzurro La Plata (silver-blue), repainted red

Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Berlinetta, chassis 14341, completed on 17 June 1971 and delivered new through Luigi Chinetti Motors in Connecticut in the rare Azzurro La Plata over Rosso Connolly livery. A US-specification, left-hand-drive example, it passed through several owners including Japan's Matsuda Collection before entering extended indoor storage. It retains its numbers-matching engine and gearbox, verified by marque historian Marcel Massini, and emerges after nearly three decades under single ownership.

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.
