Chassis No. 365GT13989
Specs: 4,390 cc V12 alloy block and cylinder head, single overhead camshafts per bank, triple Weber 40 DF carburetors, twin- ignition, rated at 320 bhp @ 6,600 rpm, five-speed manual gearbox, front and rear independent suspension, coil springs, Koni shock absorbers, sway bars, hydro-pneumatic self-leveling system at rear, four-wheel hydraulic disc brakes, wheelbase: 104.3”
History: Throughout the 1960s, the growing popularity of sports grand touring cars had forced Ferrari to move away from selling limited edition, thinly disguised competition cars for road use. Always brilliant at selecting the right man for the job, he utilized the unrivalled skills of designer Pinin Farina for nearly all his coachwork, and using less radical engines, his cars became a lot more sophisticated and easier to drive. This was particularly true of the 2+2s, the cars that fulfilled the needs of the older audience, offering the amenities of a luxury car with space for family and luggage, while keeping the performance of a serious sports car.
As per normal practice for a new model, the 365 GT 2+2 was launched at the Paris Salon of 1967. Based on the earlier excellent 330 GTC chassis but lengthened by nearly nine inches, this was a big car by Ferrari standards. Although an entirely new design, styling cues were evident from earlier models like the 500 Superfast, 330 GTC, and in particular a 330 Speciale made for Princess Lillian of Belgium.
There were several ‘firsts’ for Ferrari incorporated as standard into the grand-tourer, notably; independent rear suspension, a hydro-pneumatic self-leveling system at the rear, power-assisted steering, power windows, air conditioning, and the engine and drivetrain were mounted on rubber bushes to insulate the car’s occupants from noise and vibration.
The 4.4 liter V12 was a bored-out version of the 330 GT 2+2 which in standard form propelled the car from 0-60 mph in seven seconds and to a potential top speed of 150 mph. The 365 GT 2+2 was a superlative grand-tourer and one of the most successful commercial successes for Ferrari with 800 cars produced over its four year build life. It is revealing that the four-seat models were by far Ferrari’s best selling cars throughout the 1960s, and at the end of the decade, the only Ferrari model sold in America due to the new U.S. emissions and safety laws. Road and Track famously dubbed the car The Queen Mother of Ferraris and this name has stuck through the years.
365GT13989: Having been acquired from the prestigious Blackhawk Collection, this fine example has been cared for by its most recent owner for 14 years. The quality and finish of the Rosso exterior paint is excellent and compliments the patina of the interior leather and detail and finish of wood dashboard and trim. The engine and engine bay have recently been refreshed at a cost of over $20,000. The odometer reads just 14,930 miles, which is believed to be accurate. The beautiful 365 GT needs nothing other than a new owner to continue the Italian love affair.
