The combination of independent suspension all around for the first time on a 2+2 model and the new torque tube arrangement made the cars quieter, more comfortable, and more capable than ever before. The inclusion of additional convenience and luxury features further enhanced the car's comfort, with standardized power steering and air conditioning. The familiar front-mounted 4.4 liter V12 and attractive Pininfarina styling ensured that the car retained all of the traditional positive Ferrari traits, and authentic Ferrari experience. In all, just 809 Queen Mothers were built, making these cars quite rare as well. According to the research of marque historian Marcel Massini, chassis 13069 was completed in December 1969 as a U.S.-market, left-hand-drive example and delivered new to Bill Harrah's Modern Classic Motors in Reno, Nevada. Finished in the attractive and unusually seen grey shade of Grigio Ortello over Nero (black) leather upholstery, its understated original specification was complemented by optional Borrani wire wheels, while standard luxury amenities abound in the form of air conditioning, electric windows, and an AM/FM radio. In 1976 chassis 13069 was listed in the Ferrari Owner's Club membership roster as being owned by Tony Perelli of South Laguna, California. By 1979, ownership had passed to another Southern California resident and FOC member, Ronald Malin, from whom Stephen Buff acquired the car sometime during the 1980s. Buff sold the car to another Southern California-based collector in 1987, and this owner would keep and enjoy the car in the favorable sunny California climate for the next 28 years. Never undergoing a full restoration, the car was carefully preserved by its long-term custodian, who estimated that a total of over $100,000 was spent over the years maintaining the 2+2. This included refinishing the exterior and retrimming the cabin in its current silver metallic grey and Nero finishes, restoring the Borrani wire wheels, replacing the windshield, as well as recommissioning the brakes, self-leveling suspension, and all three carburetors. 13069 is further distinguished as a matching numbers example, retaining its original, triple-Weber carbureted 4.4-liter Colombo V12 engine. Its next owner will enjoy a timeless blend of vintage style, performance, and Italian tailored comfort.
