    Ok, now I know a lot about modern Ferraris, but not as much about the vintage cars. I would like someone to clarify the 365s... I believe there were 365GTCs, GTBs, GTB/4s, etc. Can someone be kind enough to explain all the 365s models, including the differences between them. Thanks a lot guys...

    Sure. Could be much more detailed, but this will give you a basic idea.

    365 California: Large and luxuious spyder. The last in a line of low-production "ultra-luxury" Ferraris (375 America/410 Superamerica/400 Superamerica/500 Superfast).

    365 GT 2+2: Replacement for the 330 GT 2+2. Rather large (largest Ferrari up to that point) 2+2, transmission mounted directly to the engine. First use of power steering as standard equipment.

    365 GTC: 4.4-litre update of the 330 GTC. 2-seater with rear transaxle connected to the engine via drive shaft/torque tube.

    365 GTB/4: Replacement for the 275 GTB/4. Better known as the "Daytona" and equipped with a 4-cam version of 4.4-litre powerplant.

    365 GTC/4: 4-cam replacement for the 365 GTC. Styling similar to that of the 365 GTB/4. Very small rear seats.

    365 GT4 2+2: Replacement for the 365 GT 2+2. Similar car, but with 4-cam engine and completely different body (the first in the series of 400/412 cars).

    365 GT4 BB: The "Boxer" was the first mid-engined "Ferrari" production car (the 206/246 were badged and sold as Dinos) and was the replacement for the 365 GTB/4.

    Pure race cars produced in MUCH lower numbers (6 ?).
    365P, P2/3

    Also (perhaps I state the obvious), note that there are both V-12 (most models) and flat-12 (365 GT4/BB) configurations for the 365 engine. And there are several sub-variants within the V-12 line...2-cam, 4-cam, type/number of carbs, head design, wet sump/dry sump.

    This is just part of what Wayne meant (I asume) when he says "could be much detailed"!

    Have fun learning! I do...

    ..Plus the 365 GTS (convertible version of the 365 GTC). 20 built - all LHD - in 1969/70, making it one of the rarest production cars.
