Ferrari 365 GTB/4 'Daytona' chassis 16393 holds the distinction of being the 1,000th Daytona completed by the factory, finished on 6 February 1973 in Rosso Chiaro over a beige leather interior. Delivered new to the official Ferrari dealership in Perugia, the European-specification car was later exported to the United States before returning to Italy in 1987 for a comprehensive restoration. It subsequently passed through several Florida-based owners before acquisition by a Canadian collector in 2008, who undertook mechanical and cosmetic recommissioning including a full brake-system rebuild.
