Ferrari 365 GTB/4 chassis 14161, completed in March 1971 as a US-specification left-hand drive car, is one of only five examples originally finished in Rame Metallizzato, a deep burnt orange-copper metallic colour. Delivered through Luigi Chinetti Motors, it passed through a small number of American owners before entering a prominent private collection in Michigan, where it has remained for over four decades — among the longest continuous single-owner tenures recorded for any 365 GTB/4.
