1968 Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Daytona

14819roadItaly

Engine: 4.4L DOHC V12 with six Weber carburetors, 352 bhp
Colour: Giallo Fly (yellow)

A Ferrari 365 GTB/4 'Daytona' in its original Giallo Fly over Nero colour specification, delivered new through the official West Coast Ferrari distributorship to its first retail owner in Colorado. One of 1,284 examples built between 1968 and 1973, this car carries Ferrari Classiche certification and a believed-original mileage of under 27,000 miles. It passed through several documented American owners before a comprehensive cosmetic and mechanical freshening in 2001 and subsequent careful maintenance, arriving in its current state as a well-preserved example of Ferrari's last traditional front-engined grand tourer.
