    Just came across this Jalopnik article on a 365 GTC (Chassis 12795) that was originally painted in what the article refers to as "Lipstick Coral" but which is clearly a shade of pink. The story behind it is pretty cool and the car itself is literally the physical manifestation of the saying, "the exception that proves the rule" in the terms of Ferrari's no. 1 cardinal sin of personalization.

    With that being said, the article also mentions that it was the only Ferrari ever painted pink from the factory until a few years ago. However, I cannot find any mention anywhere on which specific Ferrari(s) actually managed this feat or how the owner was able to pull it off. Anyone here have any info/pics on these fabled car(s) or was the author simply confusing aftermarket resprays/wraps with the real thing?

    Through tailor made anything is possible.

    There is a rose gold color that many would call pink/pinkish.

    It's actually stunning

    12795 is not pink and has never been pink.
    The original color is Rosso Speciale 50002/95 M.5208.

    I thought I read somewhere that 'pink OR ANY SHADE that may be construed as pink, including, fuschia, coral, salmon etc will not be accepted as it doesn't fit our brand' or something like that.
