    I personally think the color looks like Rosso Rubino number 6 in the color chips. That 365 GTC/4 Rosso Rubino example post #72 here in the colors is way too red! The aluminum body is rather fragile judging by the small dents easily suffered, not sure about a repaint. That color doesn't line up with the Italian deliveries list. However were there any 1966 aluminum GTB's painted Rosso Rubino shipped anywhere else?

    Who was the person who scooped up the old business records for Chinetti? Would the GTB's serial number typically be recorded on a work order there?

    Original lacquer paints can look like solids if the flakes were very small. They normally wouldn’t have had clear coat since they were single stage.

    Just FYI not a single 365 GTC/4 Coupé was ever originally painted Rosso Rubino. None of the 500 units built.
    Once again complete nonsense what can be found on the internet.

    @Mr Gagarin: Out of curiosity, how many miles had the car done when you bought it and then when you sold it?

    It had 5000 on it when I bought it and about 7000 when I sold it. I remember the number as 5,000 on the odometer and I think that is miles but now I'm not sure that it wasn't kilometers. I believe the speedometer read in KPH. I remember being stopped by a police officer on the way home from getting my SCCA license and he looked at the speedometer and asked "Will this car do 300." I replied. "No only 180. " To make matters worse, he asked "Is this a Corvette"
    If the speedometer read in KPH wouldn't the odometer be in KM? Wouldn't a car originally sold in Italy be in kilometers? I'm 76 now and can remember very little of what happened 50 years ago except a few things about the car and incidents like the one above. This thread has shown me that even some of those memories can be incorrect.

    That looks exactly like the speaker I installed in the front. I don't remember putting one in the rear but knowing me it is likely that I did. The car color look close too.

    Did you have a bank loan to pay for the Ferrari and what about any insurance records with a serial number? Records thrown out at this late date, I suppose?
    Intriguing story and with those 275 GTB photographs to!

    I an effort to determine if the interior was black or tan, a careful examination of the pictures reveals:
    The top of the dash is black leather.
    The trim piece on the lower lip of the dash is black leather.
    The carpets and transmission tunnel is tan carpet.
    The vertical piece on the left rear corner is tan.
    The rear shelf is black.
    The rear seats are black.
    The bolsters on sides of the front seat and the back of the seats were black. The center section of the seats and seat backs were covered in a dark tan or grey material. Only the center section of the seats was recovered in black leather to match the bolsters of the seats.
    The seats did not have headrests.
    The upper trim piece on top of the door panels was black.
    The color of the door panels is unknown.

    Given the above combination of black and tan, how would the interior be described on the original order form? If this combination didn't exist, then it was either custom, or I find it more likely that the carpets were replaced.

    Wrong wheels as September 2019. GTB/C wire wheels, bigger ones and with the wires starting from the outside arch. Right?

    Your car would not have had rear seats.

    Assuming you refer to post #94, if so, NO, that car was NOT in Burlingame/CA and it was not white.
    My photo of the headrest (post #94), red leather, is from S/N 09865 which is Grigio Notte Metallizzato 106-E-28 with Pelle Rosso VM 3171.
    I took that photo on the 9th August 2012 around 12.00 am about 55 miles north of San Francisco.
