I think it's actually a 365 GTC Speciale. Bonhoms had one for sale with this in the description.
Bonhams is very proud to offer this unique and special Ferrari from the Oldenburg Family Collection. The car was a personal order from Enzo Ferrari by Leopoldo Pirelli, the President of the legendary tire company, who took delivery in November 1967. With the distinct advantage of knowing 'Il Commendatore', and wishing to have a high performance automobile on which to test Cinturato tires, he was able to request that Enzo build him a 330 GTC to be fitted with the next iteration of powerplant and drivetrain soon to arrive in its successor, the 365GTC. To compensate for the additional power and to facilitate his testing, the car was to receive custom handmade 15 inch Campagnolo magnesium alloy wheels, being the first GT so delivered.

That, to me , is the one of two of the most beautiful cars ever made, the second being XJ13; my lottery car for sure and one that's been listed in my Fantasy Garage since I joined PH all those years ago, alas my piggy bank won't stretch this far and so the Alfa Bertone is next on my radar.The defining features for me are the delicacy of the lines, the tapering of the roof into the tail along with an understated, simple, but tailored interior all underscored with the punch of a big engine; not extrovert, just pure class....
