Chassis Number: 13141
By the mid-1960s, 50% of all Ferraris produced were being built with four seats. Following on from the success of its first such model, the 250 GTE of 1960, Ferrari introduced the 330 GT 2+2 in January 1964. Its replacement, the 365 GT 2+2, was launched at the Paris Auto Show in October 1967. The 365 GT 2+2 was the most refined Ferrari to date.
The chassis was made up of Ferrari’s familiar combination of oval and round steel tubing. It featured independent suspension all around and Koni’s hydro-pneumatic self-leveling system at the rear. Further refinements included mounting the engine and drivetrain in rubber bushes to insulate the car’s occupants from noise and vibration.
Developing 320 hp in its 365 GT incarnation, the well-proven 4.4-liter V12 engine was coupled to a 5-speed gearbox. The car’s blistering performance — top speed 150 mph, 0–60 mph in 7.0 seconds — was restrained by Girling ventilated discs all around. Endowed with that unusual combination of fine handling and a supple ride, the 365 GT 2+2 was rated by Car magazine as “the most civilized Ferrari yet.”
As verified by its Massini report on file, chassis 13141 was delivered new to the U.S. An honestly presented, original GT Ferrari, it is offered today to the highest bidder with comprehensive service history documenting its mileage, extensive correspondence between its former owners, a complete set of owner’s books in a leather Ferrari pouch, a differential service manual, and its original tool and jack kits.
