No single car company seems to draw as much attention to the industry as Ferrari. Their cars
have been the envy of many, while being owned by few. With so many models to choose from,
both past and present, it is difficult to determine a favorite. However it seems that public
opinion has labeled which Ferraris are more popular than others. One such example is the
Ferrari 365 GT4 2+2 Coupe.
These Berlina’s were the most expensive series production Ferrari's available for 17 years and
provided grand motoring in a lavishly appointed Pininfarina design. Introduced in 1972 as
the 365 GT4 2+2 and going on to evolve through 400 and 400i variations, production finally
ended in 1989 when the superb 412i was discontinued and not replaced.
Ferrari 365 GT4's were almost identical to the GTC/4's with unchanged Tipo F101 AC000 motors
and five-speed manual gearboxes. A Colombo-derived 4.3-litre dual overhead camshaft 60° V12,
the engine featured a displacement of 4290cc thanks to a bore and stroke of 81 x 71mm respectively.
Compression was 8.8:1 and six twin choke Weber 38 DCOE sidedraught carbs fitted. Producing
at 7000rpm, GT4's were the worlds most potent full four-seaters. Despite weighing in
at 1450kg, a top speed of 155mph was possible while 0-60 took just 6.4 seconds.
Elegant 1973 Ferrari 365 GT4 2+2 Coupe. This fine example is finished in a Brown Metallic with an
original beige Patina interior. The engine is a 60° V12 with six twin choke Weber 38 DCOE
sidedraught carbs. The transaxle is a five-speed manual. This vehicle has been well maintained over the
years and it shows with it's service records. With just over 61,000 Original miles this Ferrari is a
pleasure to drive. A great example of automotive design and Ferrari Heritage. This car will
certainly be an enjoyable addition to any garage.
