We are pleased to introduce this stunning Ferrari 365 GTC/4 equipped with factory power steering, power windows, air conditioning, and a Becker Mexico radio. The latest addition to our collection is presented in Blu Ribot over a beautifully maintained Beige leather interior.
This US-spec 365 GTC/4 was produced in May 1972 and delivered new to Chinetti-Garthwaite Imports in Paoli, Pennsylvania. The original owner, Constant Alexander Benoit, Jr. of Palm Beach, Florida, kept the car until 1977. In August of that year, it was listed for sale by FAF Motorcars in Tucker, Georgia and was purchased by a collector based in North Carolina named David E. Block, who would retain it for the next 40 years as part of a well-maintained collection. An official mileage statement dated 30 August 1977 listed mileage at 22,434. The previous owner became the next and only the third caretaker of this stunning GTC/4 after acquiring it in June 2017. With less than 38,500 miles indicated on the odometer at the time, he had the Ferrari serviced at Scuderia Performante in Malvern, Pennsylvania. In April 2018, the same shop overhauled the gearbox, both distributors, and all six Weber carburetors, powder-coated the valve covers, replaced all fluids, filters, spark plugs, and ignition wires, and had the rear package shelf and rear window surround reupholstered. In May 2018, Scuderia Performante replaced the starter and battery, and in July 2020 the shop fitted a new, custom exhaust system, mounted Michelin XWX tires, and performed an oil change.
With an impressive top speed of 163 mph & only 40,084 miles on the odometer, this example has been extremely well maintained by its former owners. Give us a call today to learn more and schedule an in person tour.
