    Nice to see all your efforts and patience culminate in a wonderfully restored GTC/4 there. A great design that deserves more attention! Thanks for sharing.

    Fantastic. Had one for 15 years and regret ever selling it.
    Who did the work?

    Am i reading the graph correctly, 350HP? Is the engine stock or did you do anything to increase the power?

    Engine is stock. I guess just well assembled and tuned. I have not seen any other engine Dyno runs of these motors stock to know if they consistently measure out to 335 bhp or something more. Regardless, I am pleased with the result.


    Here is a link to a YouTube video of the motor on the Dyno. Turn up the volume!

    Thanks for posting the number and congratulations on the mission complete. I think the response underlines there is a serious appreciation for these beautiful cars, those that know a GTC/4 will always have soft spot......there is a well known 250GTO owner who has one as his tourer of choice !

    Wonderful car and apparently nice restoration. Thanks for sharing the great engine pictures. I have always wondered why these cars has been so underrated for so long. A GTC/4 is for sure on my wish list!

    Best regards

    This is my favorite "undiscovered" vintage Ferrari.
    To my eyes as flowing as a Daytona yet with the "modern" angles.
    My F car is a carbed Boxer and deciding whether its stable mate should be one of these or a 360CS / Scud in that price range.

    I see your car appears to be a "late" US version...the pictures of the air intake tubes on air cleaner boxes are not too clear-do your oil/hydraulic vapor sealing elements still reside inside and function? If so, I'm really impressed-spent 8 years doing one like you have...they are TOUGH cars to do, much more difficult than Daytonas....the longer headers give the better torque curve, and NO other street Ferrari has the sweet sounding exhaust at 3-4000 that these cars have-the harmonics are "just right"...
