in two of the pics i can see a gun man and since the gun man is carrying an semi auto,he isnt a private guard.is he assigned by the police to guard our spiderman or some one else?

Was on my way to pick up my best bud and behold i see something awsom in red. i thought it was the alfa romeo and past by. My rear veiw told me a different story and then i realised its a Pranceing Horse.

Sorry GTO for mentioning 250gt checked the books and Presenting the 365 GT. The car is on its way to get a Paint job. The mechnicals and chroming of the car would be done later.

Dont worry Shamik, the car is up for a full restoration and would be as good as new in a few months.

Jayabusa · 25th October 2009, 21:38

Glad to read the above.

Is it going to be restored in India or overseas?. If it is in India, i hope you can share pics of the restoration job, if possible.

fantastic

never expected such a car in India ..
What happened to the rear lights ?? They appear to have been welded externally.
Any chance of getting it's serial no. ??
Speedy - More info on it please.

The car was owned by a Parsi Gentleman and he had shelfed it in his house after he had grown out of it. The car in the same condition but with a running engine ( not prestine condition or all 12 cyl fireing) was bought by someone i know.

The car is going to be restored in Bombay (India) to be precise. That unfortunately i cannot. I was not allowed to post pictures of the car when it was in the owners garage. Now since it was seen on the road and my telling the owner that i rather post it with blank nomber plates than have someone spot it and post it. So he agreed. He likes to keep his cars very private.

Always expect the unexpected

.
I think those were optional fitments and i believe this car was also used for raceing by the first owner. The car will be restored to original specs so all the extras would be removed.
Not possible as i dont think the owner would like that. I had a tough time convinceing him to let me post the pictures. Hope you understand. Thank you.

The ferrari 365 GT 2+2! Wow!! Awesome catch speedy.

A V12 4.4L with 320 horses in 1960's did 0-100 in 7.4 secs! Topped at 150 mhp.
Sad to know its in a poor condition..

@ jayabusa. A pristine 365 California was sold for $890,000.
Now thats around Rs 4,27,20000!

canonball · 26th October 2009, 12:55

Speedy is this the one we spoke of over the weekend the same parsi guy owned the porsche as well right/ You were telling me it is the same as Rossi' car same one?

By the way those lights are accurate and not an after job it is precisely the same the orignal cars came with. These cars currently go for US$80 to 150,000 so not in the category of the sought after 365's that some mentioned above but she is valuable though and in India!
