Chassis 16351 is a 1972 Ferrari 365 GTB/4 'Daytona', built around a 4.4-litre Colombo V-12 in a Pininfarina-styled body produced by Scaglietti. Completed at the factory in December 1972 and delivered to the Milan Ferrari dealer Crepaldi, it was originally finished in Marrone over Beige leather. Believed to have remained in Italy throughout, it was held in private ownership in the Varese region from 1987, and by April 2026 had received Ferrari Classiche Red Book certification.

This car's public record is built from its auction and competition history. Register your ownership and privately add your own records to make it a verified Legacy Metrics passport — provenance that backs your car's value at sale and gives your insurer evidence to price against. Roy reviews and verifies every registration personally.

Each chassis record is compiled from public auction archives and links to its source material. Ownership, competition and maintenance entries are extracted from those catalogue listings by an LLM, which can make mistakes — please contact us with any corrections. The summary is Legacy Metrics’ own writing; we do not reproduce catalogue text.

“Full” and “partial” documentation labels indicate how well each entry is corroborated in the underlying sources, not an audit of the car’s physical paperwork. Names of recent or living owners are withheld for privacy.
