Was this 365 GTC/4 at Amelia a bargain?

Looks like a decent car.... however I can't tell if it actually sold for that price or failed to make reserve.

 

Car sold, $159,600 including commission. It appears Italians from the 1950s-70s did very poorly. Late model super exotics are doing well for the younger crowd who have lots of cash to spend. Overall, unless it is a Porsche, the market is not doing well.

 

NO, in most cases it is the consignor who is dreaming and thinks it is still 2015........or 1989.........

If I recall correctly, you have at least one interesting Daytona.

When you see the pictures for the car, one can see different interiors from one to the other. I wonder if there are more anomalies like is the engine bay the true one shown in the pictures and belonging to the car ? Also other things like state of body and the undercarriage ?

 

Music to my ears/eyes.
Thanks for confirming.

 

Estimates, reserves and sellers commissions are negotiated between the consignor and the auction house.

 

Cool car!

 

Apparently, in todays world if you are under 30, it's not that cool; neither is the house.

 

That auctioneer is weak. She became annoying just a few minutes in to the video. Could be part of the reason for a less than enthusiastic pool of bidders.

Sure was a nice buy for a front engine V12 though. Not my favorite model, but the more I learn about the them, the more interested I have become...

 

I wonder how high this French one will go... SN 16059... Any stories on this one?

That's a very pretty color combo IMO. I even like the yellow lights.

 

Says that the interior is highly original.
Dashboard and console are covered in leather instead of the original mousehair suede. Radio is anything but original.
Seating needs some work although looks to be original, as do the mechanicals which seem tired on first glimpse.
The car needs some good work done on it so that should reflect the sale price. Anywhere between 175k and 225k if at least a good runner.

 

"No notable wear evident to the leather upholstery."

Really?
I must be blind.

FWIW, this was not a very nice car. Up until a couple of weeks before the auction, it was sporting seats from a 348 (look at the photos, one of them clearly shows the wrong seats), the seats that replaced the 348 seats were the wrong color as well. At the very best, it was a driver so at least IMO, its hammer price was not indicative of what a nice 365 is worth.

 

Yes, prices have come down dramatically on these…
