This 1972 Ferrari 365 GTB/4 is one of 1,284 Berlinetta coupes produced between 1968 and 1973. Initially delivered in the US, chassis 15168 was exported to New Zealand by its previous owner, who retained stewardship for approximately two decades before the selling dealer’s recent purchase. Finished in red over black leather, the car is powered by a 4.4-liter Colombo V12 that breathes through six Weber carburetors and is mated to a rear-mounted five-speed manual transaxle. It rides on 15” Cromodora alloy wheels and is further equipped with servo-assisted ventilated disc brakes, four-wheel independent suspension, power windows, and a Bluetooth-capable Pioneer stereo. This Daytona is now offered by the selling dealer at no reserve in Wellington, New Zealand, with New Zealand registration.
The 365 GTB/4 debuted at the 1968 Paris Auto Salon with styling penned by Pininfarina’s Leonardo Fioravanti featuring a raked fastback profile and a Kamm tail. Scaglietti-built bodywork incorporates a steel shell with aluminum hood, trunk, and door panels riding on a steel-tube chassis with a fiberglass inner tub. The model’s early covered-headlight design was replaced by a revised fascia with pop-up headlights in 1971.
This example wears an older repaint in red. Features include split chrome bumpers, a driver-side mirror, amber front turn signals with prancing-horse logos, a central backup light, and quad exhaust outlets.
Cromodora alloy wheels measuring 15×7.5” are secured by three-eared knock-offs and wear 235/60 Pirelli P600 tires. A matching spare wheel is stored in the trunk compartment. Stopping is handled by servo-assisted ventilated disc brakes.
The cabin is trimmed in black leather over the bucket seats, door panels, and center tunnel with black carpeting atop the floors and rear shelf. Features include black “mouse hair” dashboard trim, a gated shifter, shoulder belts, air conditioning, power windows, and a Bluetooth-capable Pioneer stereo.
The leather-wrapped steering wheel sits ahead of Veglia Borletti instrumentation including a 180-mph speedometer, an 8k-rpm tachometer, a clock, and gauges monitoring fuel level, coolant temperature, oil temperature, amperage, and oil pressure. The five-digit odometer shows 33k miles, approximately 500 of which have been added under current ownership.
The 4.4-liter Tipo 251 Colombo V12 features a 60° bank angle, dual overhead camshafts on each cylinder bank, a dry-sump lubrication system, and six Weber carburetors. Service performed ahead of the sale involved repairing one of the fuel tanks and outfitting replacement fuel lines as well as replacing the ignition wires and changing the oil, per the selling dealer.
The all-synchromesh five-speed manual transaxle is mounted at the rear of the car to optimize weight distribution and incorporates a limited-slip differential. Four-wheel independent suspension comprises unequal A-arms, coil springs, telescopic shock absorbers, and anti-roll bars at each end.
The vehicle is registered in New Zealand using the assigned VIN shown above, 7AT0660CX18525230.
The car is being sold on its New Zealand registration, which functions as the ownership document in New Zealand.
