    Good lord, what happened here: https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1972-ferrari-365-gtc-4-12/

    This car apparently was for sale at Gullwing on 12/26/2014 for $272,500.00. It was described as intact, "a very complete and honest example," with its interior showing "nice patina": https://365gtc4.com/Registry/RegistryView.aspx?serialno=16225

    But the Massini report says it was last sold in September 2014 by Drivers Source.

    A ton of work was done in 2016 and 2018 . . . and then what? Owner disassembled it for a respray to original color? This seems like a losing proposition. Anyone care to guess what the buying price will be?

    What a fantastic color combination (Blu Ribot/Nero Cogolo). Another 1972 365 GTC/4 in the same configuration (chassis no. 15633) was sold out of the Rudi Klein collection by Sotheby's in even worse shape for $106,400.

    A quick glance shows up to a half dozen complete running cars between $230-300k. Just to throw a number at it, say it takes $75-$100k to bring it up to the $230k car, I would guess $130k or so.

    Looks to have clean complete underbody and fresh engine rebuild. No photos provided to determine if there are any missing trim pieces. If it just requires paint and cosmetic reassembly it might do ok.

    C/4's always hard to sell. IMHO a really good car won't bring more than $230K right now.
    Paint job will cost $50K to do right. Assuming everything else is in good working order, this example should bring $130-150K. Invoices from Miller Motor Car a plus but always seem VERY high for the work performed.
    I've had two of these cars and they are fantastic drivers. Currently have 14633.... the last Ferrari I will ever own.

    No.
    It says it was sold TO Driversource. Not by Driversource. Quite a difference.
    Oh, btw, the report is eleven years old...........

    Classic case of a sudden change of priorities or budget collapse for the owner.

    In my experience, take your most pessimistic restoration estimate and triple it.

    If it runs and drives well (and that's a big "if"), I'm going to say well bought. That's assuming of course that the new owner is not interested in concours level restoration in which case you'd be under water even if the car was free.
