1972 Ferrari 365 GTC/4 Coupé

15993roadItaly
Engine
4.4L quad-cam V12, wet-sump, side-draught carburettors, 320 bhp
Colour
Silver grey ('Grigio Argento')

The 1972 Ferrari 365 GTC/4, chassis 15993, is one of only 500 examples produced during the model's brief production run. Introduced at the 1971 Geneva Motor Show, it bridges the gap between the 365 GT 2+2 and 365 GT4 2+2, sharing the Daytona's four-cam V12 architecture in a more refined, grand-touring guise with ZF power steering and a luxurious cabin. Delivered new in Florence in the original Grigio Argento over black leather combination, the car passed through several Italian owners over five decades and carries Ferrari Classiche certification confirming matching chassis, engine, and colours.

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.
