1972 Ferrari 365 GTC/4

Penned by Filippo Sapino of Pininfarina, the Ferrari 365 GTC/4's flowing wedge shape with pop-up headlights was a significant departure from the more traditional profile of its predecessors when it debuted at the 1971 Geneva Motor Show. Though proportioned like a two-seater coupe, clever interior packaging allowed for two fold-down rear seats best suited for luggage or children.

Thus, the new GTC/4 effectively replaced two models, the 365 GTC and 365 GT 2+2.

Both in design and performance, the new 365 GTC/4 was more subdued than the aggressive 365 GTB/4—its two-seater contemporary whose chassis it shared.

The high-revving 4.4-liter V-12 engine-the
"4" in GTC/4 designating quad overhead camshafts-was slightly detuned and less high-strung by comparison, making it torquier and more tractable at lower speeds.

The suspension was also softer than that of the GTB/4, while creature comforts like power steering, power windows, and air conditioning came standard. With a production run of less than two years, Ferrari produced only 500 examples of the 365 GTC/4, the bulk of which were sold in the United States. This example is finished in a stunning shade of Verde Nijinsky.

This 1972 Ferrari 365 GTC/4 was fully restored by Miller Motorcars Ferrari in 2018. It wears its original colors of Verde Nijinsky over Pelle Beige and black mousehair dashboard. This 365 GTC/4 represents one of the finest examples extant and one of only a handful surviving in this rare color.
