1973 Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Daytona
- Engine
- 4.4L DOHC V12 with six Weber carburetors, ~380 bhp (Euro spec, approximately 25 bhp above US tune)
- Colour
- 'Rosso Rubino' (ruby red)
A 1973 Ferrari 365 GTB/4 'Daytona' (chassis 16811) delivered new through Milan dealer Gastone Crepaldi in silver with black interior, built to European specification with a less restrictive exhaust and factory air conditioning — a rare combination. Imported to the United States in 1977, the car passed through a series of American and Canadian collectors over five decades, acquiring its current Rosso Rubino finish along the way. It remains a well-preserved, unrestored example in driving condition.
