- Colour
- Black (Nero) over black leather interior
Chassis 12923 is among the earliest Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Daytonas built, approximately the 82nd example, and is distinguished by its rare factory Plexiglas nose fitted only to early production cars. Completed in September 1969 for the European market in Bianco Polo Park, it was delivered to a Canadian dealer and exhibited at the Montreal Automobile Show before passing through a succession of owners across Canada, Sweden, the United States, and Japan. The car retains its numbers-matching engine and gearbox and presents today in a black-over-black colour scheme.
