Chassis 11583 is a July 1968 Ferrari 365 GT 2+2, one of approximately 800 built during the model's three-year production run. Introduced at the 1967 Paris Salon, the 365 GT 2+2 was the most luxurious Ferrari of its era, featuring Pininfarina coachwork, a 4.4-litre V-12, and pioneering standard equipment including power steering, self-levelling rear suspension, and air conditioning. This example passed through a well-documented chain of British owners, later appearing at the 2007 Goodwood Club Meeting and Ferrari's 60th Anniversary celebration.

Are you the owner of this car?

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.
