1972 Ferrari 365 GTS/4 Daytona Spider
- Engine

- Colour
- Rosso Chiaro (light red)
Chassis 15007 is the 40th of 121 genuine Ferrari 365 GTS/4 Daytona Spiders built, originally delivered through William F. Harrah's Modern Classic Motors distributorship in Reno and exhibited at the 1972 Los Angeles Auto Show. After several early California and Nevada owners, it passed in 1983 to Robert Toney, a Ferrari Club of America member who kept the car for nearly two decades until his death in 2002, after which it remained in his family's private garage. Showing 36,513 miles, the car retains its original V-12 engine and has never been disassembled, making it an unusually unrestored survivor.
