Ferrari 365 GTS Parts & Accessories

The Ferrari 365 GTS is the open-top spyder companion to the 365 GTC berlinetta, one of the rarest body styles in the entire 365 series, with only 20 examples produced and Pininfarina open coachwork that ranks among the most elegant convertible designs of its era. The 365 GTS uses the same 4.4-liter Colombo V12 as the GTC and shares the fully independent suspension architecture, while the open-top body introduces soft top mechanism hardware, convertible-specific body reinforcements, and weather seals that are unique to this model. The extreme scarcity of the 365 GTS makes it one of the most significant and valuable open-top Ferraris from the 1960s, and sourcing correct parts for one requires deep knowledge of the car's specification and access to specialist networks built around rare Ferrari models. Owners of these cars work with restoration and maintenance specialists who understand the precise requirements of this specific open-top variant rather than relying on general Ferrari parts sourcing channels.

Popular Upgrades

Weber 40 DCZ carburetor rebuild kits, distributor service components, and valve cover gaskets are the core engine maintenance parts for the 365 GTS's 4.4-liter V12, shared in specification with the 365 GTC berlinetta. Soft top fabric and frame hardware, convertible body seals, and header bow components are the most critical open-top-specific maintenance items. Front and rear suspension bushings, rebuilt Koni shock absorbers, and wheel bearings restore the chassis precision of the independent suspension at all four corners. Brake hardware including master cylinder rebuild kits and Ferodo friction pads support the disc braking system appropriate for the V12's performance output.

Performance and Handling

The 365 GTS shares the independent rear suspension and the V12 drivetrain specification of the 365 GTC, providing the same handling character in an open-top body with additional structural reinforcement to manage chassis rigidity without the berlinetta roof structure. The open cockpit amplifies the 4.4-liter V12's induction and exhaust note at full throttle, transforming the driving character from refined grand touring to an intensely sensory experience that distinguishes open-top V12 Ferraris from all contemporary alternatives. Correct suspension maintenance with period-appropriate alignment settings preserves the balanced handling and high-speed stability that the 365 GTS was built to deliver on open roads. The V12's seamless power delivery and broad torque band make the car as capable at relaxed cruising as at performance-oriented driving.

How rare is the Ferrari 365 GTS?

Ferrari produced only 20 examples of the 365 GTS spider, making it one of the rarest production Ferraris from any era and considerably rarer than any other 365-designation model including the approximately 150-example 365 GTC. This extraordinary rarity means that GTS-specific body components, soft top hardware, and convertible-specific rubber seals exist in almost no supply, and sourcing them typically requires personal connections to the small community of 365 GTS owners, restorers, and specialist dealers. Mechanical components that the GTS shares with the GTC are more broadly available through the general 365-series parts network.

What documentation should accompany Ferrari 365 GTS parts?

For a car of this rarity and value, provenance documentation for significant parts, including any original Ferrari parts manuals, dealer service records, or restoration documentation, adds meaningfully to the historical record and the car's long-term value. Major mechanical components should be traceable to reputable specialist sources who can confirm the part's origin and compatibility with the 365 GTS specification. For concours-quality restorations, Ferrari Classiche certification provides the most authoritative documentation framework for confirming that components meet the factory original specification.
