The Ferrari 365 GTC/4’s flowing wedge shape by Filippo Sapino of Pininfarina was a significant departure from the more traditional profile of its predecessors when it debuted at the 1971 Geneva Motor Show. Proportioned like a two-seater coupe while cleverly incorporating fold-down rear seats, the GTC/4 effectively replaced two models, the 365 GTC and 365 GT 2+2. Both in design and performance, the 365 GTC/4 was more subdued and luxurious than the aggressive two-seater 365 GTB/4 built on the same chassis. Ferrari produced approximately 500 examples over 18 months, the bulk of which were sold in the United States.

This 365 GTC/4, chassis 15883, completed manufacture in August 1972 and was dispatched to the United States for distribution through casino magnate William Harrah’s Ferrari dealership Modern Classic Motors in Reno, Nevada. Finished as it is today in Grigio Argento (2.443.048) over a unique Nero Cogolo (Panno 22) interior of black leather with attractive tartan cloth inserts, it came equipped from the factory with power windows, air conditioning, and a heated windscreen.

Following its arrival at Modern Classic Motors in Reno, 15883 was reportedly sent to Chic Vandagriff’s Hollywood Sport Cars in California where it found its first owner later that year. This fortunate caretaker cherished 15883 for nearly 30 years before parting with it in 2002. The car then passed through several owners before joining a notable private collection.

Believed to be highly original, it appears to retain much of its original paint and interior, including the appealing tartan cloth inserts. Work completed in April 2025 included refurbishing the braking system. Showing just 30,585 miles at cataloguing time, 15883 would make for a great touring companion or preservation-class entrant at concours. It is accompanied by a jacking kit and history report from Ferrari historian Marcel Massini.
