1969 Ferrari 365 GT 2+2 Coupe Coachwork By: PininFarina Chassis No. 12223 Engine No. 12223 Numbers-Matching Engine Matching #891 Body Stampings Documented Early History by Ferrari Historian Marcel Massini Originally Delivered in Blue Ribot over Beige Leather One of Only 809 Examples Produced from 1967-1970 Considered One of the Most Comfortable Driving Model of the 1960s Era V12 Ferraris Delivered New to Chinetti Motors and Displayed at the 1969 Chicago Auto Show Exciting "Garage-Find" of an Enzo Era V12 The 365 GT 2+2 was built for the sporting enthusiast with additional comfort, giving the quintessential 1960s vintage Ferrari experience with the last of the curvaceous Pininfarina-bodied grand tourers, powered by the final iteration of the Colombo V-12 two-cam engine. The inclusion of additional convenience and luxury features further enhanced the cars drivability, while the familiar front-mounted 4.4 liter V12 and striking Pininfarina styling ensured that the car retained all of the traditional positive Ferrari traits. Often called the "baby Superfast" it has a timeless style and uncompromising performance, so common among the greatest Ferraris classics Grand Touring cars. 12223 was completed in February 1969 (Assembly Sequence #891) and delivered new to Chinetti Motors for display at the 1969 Chicago Motor Show in stunning Blu Ribot (dark blue) paint 2.443.631 over Beige leather VM 3218, in U.S. Specification, optioned with Power Windows, Power Steering & Air Conditioning. It subsequently passed through the hands of a few loving U.S. caretakers, (as documented by Mr. Peter Perry a steward of the Queen Mother from 1998-2004) taking up residence in the Pacific Northwest from the late-1980s until 2015. The current recorded mileage of 55,430 tracks consistently and is believed to be accurate and original. Its current paint scheme was applied in the 1990s and exhibits flaws and aging in areas, while the tan leather upholstery and black carpeting was freshened around 1980 and remains very presentable. Chassis 12223 was a running and driving car about three years ago but a compression test was done which showed compression of 175psi on 9 cylinders and 45psi on the other 3 cylinders. The piston rings need to be replaced. Likely due to a long period of storage the Ferrari is in need of servicing and top end rebuild at a minimum to reach its full and celebrated performance potential that these Queen Mothers are famous for. Ferraris 365 GT 2+2 is a gentlemans sports car with the pedigree to match. This 365 has matching body panels stamped #891 also the original Blue Ribot paint is found in several areas (pitctured). With a great history attached to it and attractively priced leaving room to do the needed work, this rare 365 GT presents a great opportunity.
