Ferrari 365 GTS/4 Daytona Spider chassis 16689, the 82nd of just 121 examples built, was delivered in August 1973 finished in Nocciola Metallizzato over Pelle Beige to its first owner in Cincinnati, Ohio. Retained by that owner until 1991 and subsequently passing through German dealerships before entering a notable private collection, the car underwent a cosmetic restoration by Carrozzeria Zanasi in 2013–2014 returning it to original specification. Ferrari Classiche awarded Red Book certification in 2016, confirming the matching-numbers engine.
