12141roadItaly
Engine
4.4L SOHC V12 with six Weber carburetors, ~320 bhp
Colour
'Rosso Cina' (Chinese red)

Chassis 12141 is a Ferrari 365 GTC, one of only 150 produced, completed at the factory on 31 January 1969 and delivered new to the official Bologna Ferrari dealer. Powered by a 4.4-litre Colombo V-12 producing 320 hp, the model is regarded by connoisseurs as one of Maranello's finest all-round grand tourers despite its brief production run. This example has passed through a series of documented American owners since 1975, earned class placings at Ferrari Club of America national events, and received extensive professional restoration work including a full engine and gearbox overhaul carried out in Modena.
