My new 365GT4 2+2

Beautiful car. I like those understated Ferrari's. Enjoy her!

 

Out of curiosity, in what year did the 365 GT4 change to the 400?

 

1976

 

The first 400 was titled as a 1977 and was VIN #F101CL19343.

 

Dave:

Did the title of your old 400 have the F101CL in front of the serial number? I know the plate on the inner fenderwell has all that on it, but the top of my steering column just has the 5 digit serial number, and so does my title.

 

The titles, both from the previous owner and mine, only had the serial number and not the F101CL.

 

Nice car! You don't see too many old ones like that! Like the color!

 

Hi David,

I have a similar, but red, car here in South Africa, which I've owned for 3 years. It's a wonderful classic Ferrari - it ticks all the right boxes: front engined V12, 5-speed box, carbs, knock-off wheels etc. They made 300 examples - mine is a bit earlier than yours, number 17187. However it is also 1973 - I know 'cos when I took a door panel off one of the Ferrari workers had drawn a girl's face on the back and dated it May 1973! Enjoy the car, and let me know if you need any info about the cars as I've accumulated a fair bit of literature.

Cool, I'll try calling after I get back from a Christmas party later today.

I found one of the original photos I have of your car being driving on a track by a woman. Back is stamped Pininfarina.
