1971 Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Daytona (competition specification)
- Engine
- 4.4L DOHC V12 with six Weber carburetors, 352 bhp
- Colour
- North American Racing Team livery
Ferrari Daytona chassis 14115 is a factory-prepared competition-specification example, one of only around two dozen such cars built or converted in period out of 1,383 total Daytonas produced. Ordered through Luigi Chinetti's operation for racing at Sebring, the car was purchased by dealer Gordon Tatum on behalf of client Gregory Richter, but a legal dispute over its retention prevented it from ever competing. After passing through several owners, it was subsequently restored over five years to its intended racing configuration, presented in N.A.R.T. livery with full competition fittings.

Maintenance & restoration
- —Modification
Upon arrival in the United States, the car was retained by Tatum and subjected to additional preparation work intended to make it race-ready, beyond the factory's own competition specification.
Work was interrupted and the car never competed due to the intervening legal dispute.
- —Restoration
A five-year comprehensive restoration returning the car to its originally intended competition configuration, including N.A.R.T. livery, side exhaust pipes, roll bar, racing harnesses, and Plexiglas headlight covers, but without flared fenders.
Restoration was carried out during the ownership period of Kevan Dutchak and/or the current Canadian custodian; the stated goal was to replicate how the car would have appeared had it raced at Sebring.
