'Blu Ortis' (blue)

The Ferrari 365 GTC/4 is a rare grand tourer produced in only 500 units between 1971 and 1972, blending Daytona-esque styling with a lengthened chassis capable of carrying four occupants in comfort. This matching-numbers example was delivered new in Italy in May 1972, finished in Blu Ortis over a Pelle Nera Cogolo leather interior. It has remained with the same owner since a 1996 private purchase in Paris and shows approximately 30,600 km on the odometer, though it requires mechanical recommissioning before road use.

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.
