Description
First shown at the Paris Motor Show in 1967, the 365 GT 2+2 was the most luxurious and best-equipped Ferrari model built to date. The 320 bhp, 4.4-liter V-12 featured three twin-choke Weber carburetors and was good for sprints from rest to 60 mph in just over seven seconds with a top speed of over 145 mph. When production of the model ceased in 1971, just 809 examples of the 365 GT 2+2 had been built.
According to the accompanying research report of marque historian Marcel Massini, this Ferrari 365 GT 2+2, chassis 12521, was originally sold via William Harrah’s Modern Classic Motors dealership in Reno, Nevada, to Richard Losee Sr., who was a great patron of the Ferrari marque, and owned several models throughout his lifetime. The original colors of Rosso Nearco (Nearco Red) with beige leather complement the design beautifully, and the car remains in this livery today.
In the late 1980s, the 2+2 was sold to Dan Margolin of New Jersey, who kept 12521 for five years before it spent time in a collection in the Far East. In 2019, Ferrari expert Patrick Ottis of Berkeley, California, completed service to the braking, heating, ignition, and engine ancillary systems totaling over $11,000, according to records on file. Recently added to a Southern California collection of postwar sports cars, this handsome V-12 Ferrari stands as a most stylish Grand Tourer, beckoning for picturesque, open roads.
