Chassis 18261 is one of only three Ferrari 365 GT4 Berlinetta Boxers originally finished in Oro Chiaro paint, from a total production run of just 367 cars built between 1973 and 1976. Powered by a flat-twelve 4.4-litre engine drawing on Ferrari's championship racing experience, it was delivered new to Texas in early 1975 through Luigi Chinetti Motors. After passing through Pennsylvania, the car was exported to Sweden in 1988 and remained with a single owner there for nearly three decades before changing hands in 2016.
