The 1970 Ferrari 365 GT 2+2 (chassis 12317) is the 397th example of the model produced, completed in late 1969 and finished in Celeste Gainsborough light blue over a Nero black interior. Delivered new through Harrah's Modern Classic Motors in Reno, it was converted to automatic transmission early in its life — one of a small number of such conversions in the series. By the late 1990s the car had migrated to the East Coast and has since been held in static display.

Maintenance & restoration

  1. Modification

    The original manual gearbox was replaced with an automatic transmission early in the car's life; this was not a factory-fitted option on this chassis.

    Only six 365 GT 2+2s were factory-fitted with automatics; this example underwent the conversion after delivery.

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.
