1973 Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Daytona Spider
- Engine
- 4.4L DOHC V12 with six Weber carburettors, 352 bhp
- Colour
- Marrone Colorado (dark brown) over Beige Scuro interior
Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Spider chassis 17013, the 105th of just 121 examples built, was delivered new in 1974 in the rare Marrone Colorado finish over a Beige Scuro Connolly leather interior — a combination unique among surviving Daytona Spiders. Equipped from the factory with air conditioning and a radio, it passed through a documented chain of American collectors and accumulated fewer than 3,300 miles over five decades. Ferrari Classiche certification, awarded in 2009, confirmed the retention of all original major components.
