The allure of a four-seat grand tourer fitted with a V-12 engine proved irresistible to a certain niche of enthusiasts. For those seeking Italian panache and sports car characteristics, combined with the functionality of a practical interior layout, the Ferrari 365 GT4 2+2 was chief among those family-friendly and slightly more practical V-12 GTs. Approximately 525 of these cars are believed to have been made before the Maranello marque replaced it with the 400-series models. Unlike its successors, which were notably the first Ferraris to offer an automatic transmission, the 365 GT4 2+2 was offered only with a five-speed manual gearbox paired with its 4.4-liter V-12—an engaging feature especially desired by today’s collectors. Factory data rated the Ferrari with a top speed of over 150 mph, a fair return for a four-seater, and one which positioned the model as a premium grand tourer of its era for any long-distance road trip that should be traversed in comfort and style. According to Ferrari historian Jarrett Rothmeier, chassis number 17235 was originally delivered to the well-known official Ferrari dealer M. Gastone Crepaldi Automobili S.a.s. in Milan, and sold by them to the original owner, a Mr. Beghetto of Italy. By the late 1970s, it had relocated to the United States, and in late 1979 to early 1980 was offered for sale by an unknown seller in the Anaheim, California area. Quietly owned by the late Terence E. Adderley for some years, the car has recorded 63,031 kilometers (39,176 miles) at the time of cataloguing and appears to remain in very original condition, including its charmingly worn, very comfortable tan leather interior. It is the final Ferrari remaining in what was once a superb collection of the company’s roadgoing V-12 models, assembled by a great enthusiast of the breed. Shown in the collection in recent memory, it would benefit from mechanical freshening prior to use, after which it would be a very comfortable and pleasurable transportation for “2+2,” as it was when new.
