| The 365 GTC/4 has been originally delivered in the colour combination of | |
| Marrone Colorado with a contrasting beige full leather interior. It found its first | |
| home in France having been delivered in January 1973 by the French market | |
| importer Charles Pozzi/Paris. |
| It changed hands in France a couple of times and ended up in the Netherlands | |
| where its has been restored nicely. It still has its original dashboard in very nice | |
| condition but received a complete wonderful new leather interior. It benfitted as | |
| well from a major rebuilt of the technique which is documented by an | |
| extraordinary file of bills and service records out of the last ten years. The | |
| engine compartment looks like a brand new car professionally detailed by a very | |
| known Ferrari specialist. The invoices available in the archive file which is | |
| accompanying the car are showing appr. an amount of 70.000,- € only for the | |
| time the car has been restored in the Netherlands. |
| After having bought it in 2011 we decided to step into the bodywork which ended | |
| in replacing the rocker panels and some more rust repair and a complete new | |
| paint job on a very high standard. The work carried out is documentetd by lots | |
| of detailed photos and invoices. |
| In 2012 it found a new home in the region of Frankfurt being frequently driven | |
| by its new and proud owner. In the last eight years the car was perfectly serviced | |
| at the well known Ferrari specialist Jochen Frick/Die Sportwagenspezialisten | |
| based as well in Frankfurt. This is documented by a large amount of service | |
| records totalling appr. at 20.000,- €. |
| We inspected the matching number engine and found only the best possible | |
| results at an engine leak down test having full compression on each | |
| cylinder. |
| We have test driven this 365 GTC/4 intensively and we can say that it drives | |
| flawlessly, the engine produces lots of torque, the gears are shifting faultlessly, | |
| There is no vibration from the drivetrain and the brakes working perfectly as | |
| well. Our last test drive has shown how much developed these cars have already | |
| been in the early seventies. The C4 is a wonderful cruiser with a very nice | |
| relaxing driving position, a real fun to drive it. |
| Knowing that the C4's are technically very close to the nearly triple expensive | |
| Daytonas this car seems to us a very nice and reasonable entry into the Ferrari | |
| world. The 365 GTC/4 is the last forgotten Ferrari classic having a tremendous | |
| 12 cylinder 4 cam engine, 5 speed gearbox, disc brakes and independent | |
| front and rear suspension plus the power steering which made it more expensive | |
| than a Daytona in its early days. |
| Ferrari produced 1284 Daytona but only 500 C4 left the factory from which | |
| 31 have been sold as rhd cars and nearly 300 of them have been manufactured | |
| in the US version for the American market. I can only recommend to everybody | |
| to see the real value of these wonderful and rare early Ferrari thoroughbreds. |
| They are still completely underestimated especially compared to their lovely | |
| design and their way they drive. |
