365 GT2+2

I just got I got my Queen Mother 8 days ago. S/N 13121 (1970). Transmission and clutch are proving difficult to master (maybe a maintenance issue) and that makes driving (especially an a heavy traffic town like Seattle) less than pleasant.
Still, she is gorgeous!

Beautiful car! Got mine in July, near your serial number. Mine is S/N 13149, white with a black interior. It managed to get 1st in class at the Concorso Italiano in Monterey this past August. Also working out some of the restoration and familiarity bugs.

 

I’m not in the NW, but we like this color in Ky too! #12482

Tipo, you mean 12483. Born Grigio Ortello 2.443.813.

12482 is a Dino 308 GT4 Coupé Bertone, originally painted rosso rubino, completed 10 June 1976 and delivered new to Crepaldi in Milan. Not a Queen Mary.

this VIN could never be a 12 cylinder

 

This 1968 is so tempting at $50k

Hi

Good news for you guys. Pirelli have made a fresh batch of the 205VR15 CN72 that were OE on the 365 GT 2+2

https://www.borrani.com/ferrari-wheels/365-gt-2-2.html

does anyone know what year they changed to the 7.5" rim and 215/70VR15 tyres? my guess it was right toward the end of production in 1971

 

Just checking things out today and found that the headlights and the wipers are non-working. I haven't had need for either (and don't plan to) but it would be nice to have them working.
My first suspicion is the electrical work in the steering column. The turn signals work, so I know it;'s not all bad.
Is this a common problem or am, I just "lucky".
If you know of a place to start and some idea of how big a job it is.
Thanks - Ed

 

Start with the fuse box!!

 

It is apparently not unusual for the switch in the steering column to fail. My headlights would come on occasionally, but with one tiny spot on the rotation of the on/off switch. The steering wheel needs to be disassembled to get to it, requiring a puller to access the area of the switch after the wheel itself is removed. It turned out to have a broken wire in the switch which was resoldered. It is not uncommon to need the switch rebuilt.

 

Nice to see three wheel options on one page. They all look nice, but yours look the best to me.
