This 1972 Ferrari 365 GTC/4 is one of approximately 500 examples built and was originally delivered in December 1971 to Ferrari dealer M. Gastone Crepaldi Automobili S.a.s. of Milan, Italy. Chassis 14745 was exported to the US in 1976 and has since spent time in a number of states under the care of several different owners. It was purchased by the current owner in 2024 and subsequently underwent a convertible conversion carried out by Newport Specialty Cars of Huntington Beach, California, at a cost of $109k. The project included repainting the car in red, removing the rear seats, fabricating a color-matched hardtop, and installing a tan soft top along with enamel Scuderia Ferrari fender shields. Power comes from a 4.4-liter Colombo quad-cam V12 with six Weber carburetors mated to a five-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential. The car rides on 15″ knock-off Borrani wire wheels and is also equipped with four-wheel independent suspension and power-assisted steering. Inside, bucket seats are trimmed in tan leather and accompanied by air conditioning, power windows, and a push-button radio. This modified 365 GTC/4 is now offered on dealer consignment with build photos, service records, and a Texas title.
The 365 GTC/4 was produced between late 1971 and early 1973 and shared an assembly line with the GTB/4 Daytona. Its bodywork was designed and manufactured by Carrozzeria Pininfarina utilizing steel and aluminum panels as well as a fiberglass firewall and floor pans. The cars featured pop-up headlights and grille-mounted fog lamps up front along with six taillights out back. This example left the factory as one of 15 examples finished Verde Medio Niyinsky and underwent a color change to metallic blue in the late 1970s followed by repaints in black and red.
The car was converted to a spyder configuration in 2024, and it was subsequently refinished in red. The project also included fabricating a color-matched hardtop, performing hood repairs, and installing a tan soft top along with enamel Scuderia Ferrari fender shields. Exterior details include side marker lamps, Pininfarina fender badges, a retractable antenna, and a quad-exit exhaust.
The 15″ Borrani wire wheels are secured via three-eared knock-off hubs and mounted with 215/70 Pirelli Cinturato tires. A matching spare wheel is mounted beneath the trunk floor. The 365 GTC/4 features a four-wheel independent suspension, and power-assisted steering and four-wheel disc brakes were standard equipment.
The cabin houses bucket seats trimmed in tan leather along with a color-matched center console panel, door panels, and a custom rear luggage shelf fitted in place of the factory rear seats. Contrasting black “mouse fur” trims the dash and center console, while beige carpets line the floors. A push-button radio, power windows, and air conditioning are further appointments.
The three-spoke steering wheel frames Veglia Borletti instrumentation including a 180-mph speedometer, an 8k-rpm tachometer, and gauges monitoring oil pressure and coolant temperature. A clock and additional auxiliary gauges are mounted in the center stack. The five-digit odometer shows 43k miles, and total mileage is unknown.
The 4.4-liter Tipo F101 AC 000 V12 features an aluminum block with cast-steel cylinder liners along with aluminum cylinder heads housing dual overhead camshafts. Six Weber 38 DCOE side-draft carburetors are positioned on the outer side of each cylinder bank to allow for a lower hood line, and engine output was rated at 320 horsepower and 318 lb-ft of torque.
Power is sent to the rear wheels by a five-speed manual transmission, a torque tube, and a limited-slip differential.
The 2023-dated Marcel Massini report lists the original colors, equipment numbers, and production and sales information.
