A 1969 Ferrari 365 GTC, one of only 150 produced, this European-specification example was originally finished in Grigio Ortello over Connolly Beige leather and dispatched through Milan dealer Gastone Crepaldi. Retaining its matching-numbers Tipo 245 C V-12, the car passed through several American owners between the mid-1970s and 2014, attended a Ferrari Club of America regional meet and a Beverly Hills concours, and has more recently been repainted in Blu Sera and maintained by GTO Engineering in the UK.
