Chassis 15471 is a 1972 Ferrari 365 GTC/4 styled by Filippo Sapino of Pininfarina and introduced at the 1971 Geneva Motor Show. One of approximately 500 built over eighteen months, it was delivered in a gold-over-beige specification and sold new through William Harrah's Nevada dealership. It subsequently passed through the hands of prominent Hollywood figures, including talent agent Michael Ovitz and actor Sylvester Stallone, before entering long-term family ownership in 1992. The car retains a documented service history and was last attended to in 2024.
