1972 Ferrari 365 GTC/4
- Engine
- 4.4L DOHC V12 with six side-draft Weber carburetors, 320 bhp (US-spec)
- Colour
- Rosso Cherry red
The Ferrari 365 GTC/4, chassis number 453 of approximately 500 produced, was assembled in July 1972 and delivered new to William Harrah's Modern Classic Motors dealership in Reno, Nevada. Finished originally in Rosso Cherry over full leather, it spent its early decades with Ferrari enthusiasts in the southeastern United States before a 1987 accident briefly sidelined it. With around 40,000 miles recorded, the matching-numbers V-12 has recently received a top-end rebuild, and the car has been refinished in correct Rosso Cherry with a new tan interior.
