1969 Ferrari 365 GT 2+2

Ferrari introduced the line of grand touring 365s in 1966 and the 2+2 at Paris Motor Show in 1967. They replaced the 330 and 500 Superfast. The car came in a 2 seat and 2+2 configuration.

The 365 line included the 365 California, 365 2+2 and 365 GTS and GTC. The car pictured above and stored at CAV is the 1969 365 GT 2+2. They were developed as a replacement to 330 GT 2+2. The most notable difference between the 365 and its predecessor is the rear axle. The 330 featured a live rear axle on leaf springs whereas the 365 was the first 2+2 to feature an independent rear suspension. The 2+2 was the most popular of all the 365 models with approximately 800 produced over 4 years 60 of which being right-hand drive.

The interior of the car was at the peak of luxury at its time featuring leather seats, power steering and brakes, electric windows, and optional air conditioning.
