The Ferrari 365 GT 2+2 (chassis 12989) is a Canadian-market example completed in March 1970, originally finished in Grigio Mahmoud over Nero leather and delivered new to Montreal importer George Woolley. One of just 809 built between 1968 and 1971, it features Ferrari's first standard power steering, self-levelling rear suspension, and a 4.4-litre V-12 rated at 320 horsepower. The car was subsequently owned by Ontario collector Hugh Welsford before passing through California to its present custodian.
