- Engine
- 4.4L V12 quad-cam, slightly detuned
- Colour
- 'Blu Ribot' (blue) over beige leather
A 1972 Ferrari 365 GTC/4, bodied by Pininfarina under Filippo Sapino's direction and debuted at the 1971 Geneva Motor Show, finished in Blu Ribot over Beige leather. One of only 500 produced across eighteen months, this US-specification example has covered fewer than 41,000 miles and passed through just three owners since new delivery to a Pennsylvania dealership. It remains unrestored in its factory livery, riding on original Borrani Cromodora wheels, and is supported by extensive service invoices, factory documentation, and a report from marque historian Marcel Massini.
