1968 Ferrari 365 GTC Coupé

12209roadItaly
Engine
4.4L V12, 320 bhp at 6,600 rpm
Colour
'Blu Caraccalla' (dark blue)

A 1968 Ferrari 365 GTC coupé with coachwork by Pininfarina, chassis and engine numbers matching, finished in Blu Caraccalla over Bianco Molitan leather — the same combination it left the factory in. Delivered new through the official Ferrari concessionaire in Verona, the car passed to a family in Padova who retained it for roughly six decades. With just over 54,000 kilometres recorded, eleven early factory services documented, and Ferrari Classiche certification in progress, it represents an exceptionally intact single-family example of one of Ferrari's rarest grand tourers.

Maintenance & restoration

  1. 1971Service
    Ferrari factory, Maranello

    A series of eleven factory services was carried out at Maranello, the last of which is recorded on 18 October 1971 when the odometer showed 34,073 kilometres.

    All eleven service records are documented in the accompanying Massini Report.

  2. 2015Service
    Autofficina Sauro

    A service was performed by an official Bologna-based Ferrari workshop, which is confirmed by a sticker found in the door aperture; the same workshop is said to have maintained the car for the majority of its post-factory service life.

    Workshop staff confirmed by telephone that they had looked after the car for most of its life following the end of Maranello-based servicing.

    The exterior was professionally repainted at some point in its original Blu Caraccalla colour, though the exact date is not recorded.

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.
