Ferrari 365 GTB/4 'Daytona' chassis 15305 is a U.S.-specification example built with factory Borletti air conditioning and delivered new via William Harrah's Modern Classic Motors in Reno, Nevada, then through Hollywood Sports Cars to its first owner in 1972. Acquired in 1976 and registered as 'MY 365', the low-mileage Rosso Corsa car has enjoyed an outstanding concours career in California, appeared on the cover of Cavallino magazine in 1991, and received Ferrari Classiche certification in 2011. It retains chromed Borrani wire wheels believed fitted from new and shows fewer than 5,000 actual miles.
