Global demand for classic Ferraris from the 1960s and 1970s continues to grow as do values. Following the recent arrival at Zagame of the 365 GTB/4 ‘Daytona’ we are delighted to present this immaculate 365 GTC.
Defined by its elegant Pininfarina styling, plus the unmistakable character of a front-engined V12, the 365 GTC captures the very essence of Ferrari’s most celebrated era.
Beautiful to look at and truly rewarding to drive, it offers a level of engagement and balance that excite enthusiasts worldwide.
With only 168 examples ever produced, and just a handful delivered to Australia - the 365 GTC is exceptionally rare and highly sought after.
Ferrari is without doubt one on the most passionate and famous automotive brands of all time. And the 365 GTC marks a particularly emotive period in Ferrari’s storied history. Part of its significance comes from its place as a bridge between eras - sitting between the 330 GTC and the later 365 GTB/4 “Daytona.” Unlike any other model it combines the elegance of the earlier GT cars, with the V12 performance DNA that would soon define the Daytona.
Designed with Pininfarina’s subtle genius the design is often praised for its perfect proportions and subtle sophistication - Simple. Elegant. Timeless. But there is also a strong performance agenda to the 365 GTC.
Introduced in 1968, the 365 GTC earned its place as a refined evolution of Ferrari’s Grand Touring lineage. Powered by a 4.4L Colombo V12 engine, and producing 320 hp, the 365 GTC delivered on its GT promise - achieving a top speed of ~150 mph.

Beyond its abundant power from the front engine V12, the 365 GTC demonstrated a Transaxle layout (rear-mounted gearbox) providing excellent weight distribution and balanced handling. Independent suspension all around, delivered one of the best driving experiences of any Ferrari of the era.
The 365 GTC’s exhaust note is widely considered one of the most melodic of all classic Ferrari's - a smooth, rich V12 sound that remains addictive today.
