The Ferrari 365 GT 2+2 is a really wonderful piece of motoring machinery, with a top speed of just over 150 mph: an extremely impressive pace for 1967, the year the 365 was launched.

In fact, the Ferrari 365 GT 2+2 absolutely moved the entire Ferrari experience along. It was the first Ferrari car that had air-conditioning and power-steering as standard for the American market. Surged along by its Tipo 245 V12 engine, this car, Ferrari’s largest to date, was absolutely powerpacked – 0-60 mph was 6.7 seconds.

The transmission was a front-mounted 5-speed rather than the transaxle that contemporary Ferrari two-passenger cars used.

The gear changes were as smooth and precise as any car that you would encounter.

And the interior is superb, a complete trip with its beautiful Connolly leather, and fabulous wood facade, and the beautiful analogue dials that seem as though they could have come from an ocean-liner. And that’s not mentioning the spacious luggage compartment and two proper rear seats in which your passengers will feel easily comfortable. Incidentally, a hydro-pneumatic, self-leveling rear suspension system had been developed with Koni to guarantee excellent road-holding whatever the load – Ferrari’s first self-leveling rear suspension.

With its elegant, imposing lines the 365 GT 2+2 was first presented at the 1967 Paris Salon; the car was heir to the 500 Superfast, upholding the traditions of the 250 GTE and 330 GT 2+2, and the 365 GT 2+2 emerged as the most luxurious and best-equipped Ferrari model in the hallowed company’s history.

Intended as the replacement for the 330 GT 2+2, it stayed in production until early 1971.

The body was designed by Aldo Brovarone at Pininfarina and the cars were constructed and trimmed at the design house’s works, before shipment to the Ferrari factory for fitment of the mechanical components.

The five-glass cabin profile was longer than that of its predecessor, the 330 GT 2+2, with a longer and shallower slope to the rear screen, which ran into a virtually flat boot lid terminating in an angular Kamm tail.

The tail panel had a pair of horizontal triple circular lens light assemblies mounted in a rectangular chrome surround bezel, below which was a full width chrome-plated bumper.

Although the 365 GT 2+2 Coupe shared the same wheel base as the 330 GT 2+2, it was wider, and whilst low and elegant looked big, due to increased front and rear overhangs, which extended the overall length by 130 mm. Initially it was fitted with similar design 10-hole alloy wheels – as on the model we have at Beverly Hills Car Club – as had been used on the Series II 330 GT 2+2; and then later models came with five-star spoke patterns.

Approximately 800 cars were built between 1967 and 1971. And we have one of those right now at Beverly Hills Car Club, a wonderful example, a highly desirable 1969 Ferrari 365GT 2+2 featured with a matching numbers engine.

This breathtakingly stunning model is finished in an exquisite Azzurro Blue exterior color complemented with a Cream interior. The interior seats display a charming patina, a testament to the car’s rich history and the care it has received over the years. Its rarity renders our 365 GT 2+2 a most sought-after collector’s item.
