    After a year long search, I finally got my hands on a 365 GTC. S/N is 12315. Just arrived yesterday.

    I'm going to try to post pics, but being new here I haven't tried attachments before. Hope it works.

    Well, obviously it didn't work. I'll be back with pics when I figure some things out.

    Una bella macchina! With the Swiss license plate mounts it reminds me of a 330 GTC I bought many years ago. Congratulations!

    That looks like a fantastic car. I wish you great luck and happiness with it.

    Please take some more pictures and post them.

    A 365 GTC is (in my opinion) a very rare and underappreciated Ferrari. You've found a real prize!

    Thanks to everyone for your kind words.

    I'd have expressed thanks earlier, but I was having a lot of trouble getting on the forum for the past few hours. And considering the trouble I had posting the pictures, I was afraid I was the one who might have broken it! :)

    Now that I have the hang of it, I'll add some more pics (but probably not tonight).

    As far as history is concerned, I believe the car has had the same owner in Florida since 1988. I have no info before that.

    In a 1984 issue of the FML (vol 9, #11) Gerald Roush listed all the S/N's of 365GTC's, with a country listed mext to them. I'm not quite clear whether that was supposed to be the country the cars were shipped to, or where he thought they were at that date. In any event, there is no country listed next to 12315 ... but that proves nothing, since there were 86 others on the list with no country appearing.

    Perhaps I should ask the question, as to whether anyone on the forum has encountered this car before.

    Thanks again.

    Congratulation on your 365 GTC purchase. I have owned 365 (12453) for about 4 years and enjoy driving it on a regular basis. The 365 is one of the best all round front engine Ferrari road cars. The condition of your car looks very good.

    My only note says "Partially restored by Berlinetta Motorcars"; unfortunately there is no owner, no date, no nothing. AFAIK, the company is/was (?) run by Doug Pirrone and based in New York area.

    Best wishes, Kare

    I love the way that the tailpipes hang and protrude from the rear of a vintage Ferrari. It's almost indecent. And I love the sound...
