18361

Bonjour,
Excusez-moi, mais je n'écris qu'en français!

Après le massacre de 18359, je vous présente 18361 qui a été parfaitement préservée.
Elle est en France depuis 2012 après avoir été conservée en Italie jusqu'à cette date par deux propriétaires soigneux et identifiés.
Je suis donc le troisième propriétaire d'une voiture en parfait état d'origine et 83.000km parcourus.
A bientôt
Pierre

nice car, nice colour, the exhaust is very low

 

Beautiful and very nice first post. Welcome! I hope that you have many happy miles and smiles as you bring that car back to life.

I agree with Ulf, the front part of the exhaust system is hanging very low and perhaps you will be able to have it adjusted so that you have a little more ground clearance.

Also, for the "what mirrors were on these cars" aficionados, please note the photo of the right side with the rectangular black mirror. I don't know if it is original since passenger side mirrors weren't ubiquitous then as they are today, but it probably mirrors (pun intended) the driver's side even if it was added later.

 

Amazing how much better these cars look without the US spec DOT side marker lights. A lovely color too.

 

Pierre, bienvenue à bord et félicitations pour votre acquisition d'une belle voiture dans une couleur unique. Love it! Je suis impatient d'entendre et de voir plus.

 

Yep,re the sidelights.......Jeeeeez we're fortunate down here,as well as Europe.

 

Bravo Pierre, belle voiture et surtout avec transmission manuelle. Une photo de la carburation serait bien. Qu'est-il arrivé a 18359?

Congrats Pierre, nice car especially with the manual transmission. A picture of the carbs would be nice. What happened to 18359?

 

I just found the answer for 18359!

 

Des images de la mécanique en parfait état et bien entretenue au fil des années.
J'attends le retour des beaux jours pour équiper ma voiture de pneux Michelins XWX neufs car les Pirelli ne me plaisent pas.
Salutations
Pierre.

Err mate,ALL 365 GT4 2+2's,built for the public, were manual.

 

I wasn't aware of that, I'm no expert at all and learn every day. Thanks for the info.

BTW Pierre thanks for the engine pics. I always liked those side draft carbs on a V12.

 

No problem,it was only after much debating,mainly with Enzo,that he sanctioned putting an auto into a Ferrari....and only then ,to appease the American market.
365's weren't imported in the 'State's(I think I'm correct...happy to be proven otherwise),and then there was the smog and safety stuff that came afterwards in the 400's

 

You are spot on in that none of the 365 GT4 2+2s were available with automatic transmissions. Additionally, none of that era's 2+2s were built for the US market; the 365 GT 2+2, the 400, the 400i, the 412 - these were all made for European and RHD markets. If Americans wanted one, they needed to buy it used from overseas, and commission a conversion upon arrival. The same holds true for all Boxer variants, and the GTO.
