OVERVIEW
The Ferrari 365 GTB/4, commonly known as the "Daytona," is a landmark model in Ferrari's history. Launched at the 1968 Paris Salon, the Daytona was the ultimate expression of Ferrari's V12 front-engined sports cars. Designed by Leonardo Fioravanti at Pininfarina, the Daytona featured a shark-nosed design with a long bonnet, small cabin, and short tail, exuding both elegance and muscular horsepower. Powered by a 4,390cc V12 engine producing 352 bhp, the Daytona could reach a top speed of over 170 mph, making it the fastest production car of its time. The Daytona's performance and design have cemented its status as one of Ferrari's most iconic models.
HISTORY
15573 is an original U.S. delivery Daytona that remained with its original owner from 1973 until 2020. According to its Marcel Massini report, this example was completed at the factory on September 28, 1972, and sold new to Chinetti-Garthwaite Imports, with them concluding the sale to its original owner, who took delivery of the car in October 1973. He retained it until his passing in early 2020. Its specification included air-conditioning and power windows, and of course, its odometer was in miles/U.S. configuration.
With the simplest of ownership journeys, the car has been enjoyed and cared for throughout its 52-year existence. More than a couple of decades ago it was repainted in its original Rosso Chiaro color and in recent times this has received light refreshing in the rear quarter panels. All the while, its interior looks to have never received refurbishment which is a testament to the quality of the way they were trimmed as it has worn well, with light aging and only one small tear, but nothing that would require the need to replace it, and gives the car both an 'old car smell' and period ambiance.
It retains its desirable original factory tool kit and a good file amassed during its single custody.
One of the greatest performance cars of the late 60s/early 70s, a Daytona is a tough, heroic Ferrari bred from two decades of success at Le Mans and other endurance events and built when the words 'speed limit' were yet to be introduced in many countries! This Daytona presents a great opportunity to experience a legendary V12 Ferrari.
