Today marks my being on this forum 1 year. Originally I came here on a bit of a crusade, resulting in one of the Mod Squad calling me a 'firebrand' (whatever that is ) in a PM a good while back; nowadays I'm content to inform and educate here; my sword is saved for certain other forums...
I probably won't be on here as often now; I have a ream of non-car stuff to do and I might just have a crack at that blog malarky.
As a celebration, lets have some Ferrari 365's.
Just to clear something up at how Ferrari arrived at '365'.
V6 and V8 models used the total displacement for the first two digits and the number of cylinders as the third. Thus, the 206 was a 2.0 V6, while the 348 used a 3.4 V8. However, the V12 models used the displacement per cylinder (in cc) for all three digits. Therefore, the 365 Daytona had a 4380 cc engine (365 times 12).
365 California
365 GT 2+2
365 GTS
Like the 330 GTC, the 330 GTS was replaced in 1968 by the 365 GTS. Again a simple re-engine job, this Spider featured the same styling changes as the coupe. Just 20 were built before its place was assumed by the 365 GTB/4-based Daytona Spider.
365GTB/4. The unofficial Daytona name is reported to have been applied by the media rather than Ferrari themselves and commemorates Ferrari's 1-2-3 finish in the February 1967 24 Hours of Daytona with the 330 P4.
Shooting Brake; built by Panther Westwinds using designs by Luigi 'Coco' Chinetti Jr. and Gene Garfinkle.
OK, this is a cheat; every Miami Vice fan knows this one is a Tom McBurnie kit car based on a C3 Corvette:
365 GTC/4, a personal favourite of mine. based on the chassis of the Daytona, it lasted but one year before being replaced by the Ferrari 365 GT4 2+2.
365 GT4 2+2
A 2+2 grand tourer car from Ferrari, introduced in 1972 to replace the 365 GTC/4. Its chassis was derived from that of the Daytona. It was replaced in 1976 by the almost identical looking 400 Automatic.
365 GT4 BB
Not to be confused with the BB 512 that replaced it in 1976.
