This 1972 Ferrari 365 GTC/4 is one of approximately 500 examples built and was completed in March 1972. It was distributed via Bill Harrah’s Modern Classic Motors in Reno, Nevada, and sold to its first owner in California. It was subsequently modified by the seller’s father, Claudio Zampolli, at his Los Angeles shop in the 1980s with a targa roof conversion, quad projector headlights, air intakes in place of the pop-up headlights, fender vents, enamel Scuderia Ferrari fender shields, Vitaloni side-view mirrors, a rear spoiler, a revised rear fascia, and the removal of the rear seats. It was acquired by the seller in the late 1980s and has spent the last five years in storage, reportedly being serviced in preparation for the sale. The car has been refinished in black over cognac leather upholstery, and power comes from a 4.4-liter Colombo quad-cam V12 with six Weber carburetors paired with a five-speed manual transmission. Additional equipment includes a quad-exit exhaust system, four-wheel independent suspension, power-assisted steering, 15″ Borrani wire wheels, air conditioning, power windows, a CD player, and a MOMO Indy wood-rimmed steering wheel. This modified 365 GTC/4 is now offered with manufacturer’s literature, removed upholstery components, and a clean California title in the seller’s name.

The 365 GTC/4 entered production in late 1971 and was built on the same assembly line as the GTB/4 Daytona. The body was designed and manufactured by Carrozzeria Pininfarina utilizing steel and aluminum panels as well as a fiberglass firewall and floor pans. This example was delivered from the factory in Arancio Vaguely and underwent a color change to silver before it was modified in the 1980s by Claudio Zampolli, a former Lamborghini engineer who serviced Italian sports cars at his eponymous Los Angeles garage and later founded Cizeta Automobili.

The car was converted to a targa top configuration in the 1980s, with the project also including the installation of quad projector headlights, air intakes in place of the factory pop-up headlights, fender vents, enamel Scuderia Ferrari fender shields, Vitaloni side-view mirrors, a rear spoiler, and revised rear bodywork before being repainted in black. The body-color targa top can be seen in the gallery, and a black vinyl cover is included in the sale. Additional equipment includes side marker lamps, Pininfarina fender badges, a retractable antenna, and a quad-exit exhaust. The windshield wiper arms have been removed and are included in the sale.

The 15″ Borrani wire wheels feature centerlock hubs, and they are mounted with 215/70 Michelin XWX tires. The 365 GTC/4 features a four-wheel independent suspension, and power-assisted steering and four-wheel disc brakes were standard equipment.

The cabin features bucket seats trimmed in cognac leather along with a color-matched center console panel, door panels, and a custom rear luggage shelf fitted in place of the factory rear seats. Contrasting black “mouse fur” trims the dash and center console, while black carpets line the floors. Equipment includes power windows, air conditioning, a CD player, and a wooden prancing horse shift knob. Removed sections of red leather trim are included in the sale and can be seen in the gallery.

The MOMO Indy steering wheel features a prancing horse center cap, and it frames a woodgrain cluster housing a Veglia Borletti 180-mph speedometer, a tachometer with a 7k-rpm redline, and gauges monitoring oil pressure and coolant temperature. A set of auxiliary gauges is mounted in the center stack. The five-digit odometer shows 21k miles.

The 4.4-liter Colombo V12 features an aluminum block with cast iron sleeves as well as aluminum cylinder heads with dual overhead camshafts and two valves per cylinder. Induction is from six twin-choke Weber carburetors positioned on the outer sides of the cylinder banks, and engine output was rated at 320 horsepower when new. Work in preparation for the sale is said to have included a tune-up and the replacement of dry and cracked hoses.

Power is sent to the rear wheels via a five-speed manual transmission, a torque tube, and a 4.09:1 limited-slip differential.
