Chassis Number: 13231
This 1970 Ferrari 365 GTB/4 is one of approximately 410 examples built with fixed headlights behind a plexiglass nose panel before a pop-up headlight configuration was adopted in 1971. Chassis 13231 was completed on March 6, 1970, before being delivered new in Bologna, Italy. It was imported later that decade to the U.S., where it received a refurbishment while under California ownership in the 1990s. This plexiglass-nose Daytona was purchased by the selling dealer in 2023 and is now offered in New York with a Marcel Massini report, invoices from the 2013–14 refurbishment, owner’s manuals, a toolkit and a clean Montana title.
Borrani wire wheels are secured by three-eared knockoffs and are wrapped in Michelin XWX tires measuring 215/70VR15 up front and 225/70VR15 at the rear. Stopping is handled by servo-assisted ventilated disc brakes that were overhauled in 2014.
The cabin was retrimmed during the 2013–14 refurbishment in beige Connolly leather with black accents over the seat surfaces and door-panel inserts. The seat foam was replaced during the project, and repairs were made to the fiberglass dash panel before replacement of the black “mouse hair” trim. Additional features include color-matched carpeting, a gated shifter, air conditioning and power windows.
The wood-rimmed steering wheel sits ahead of a 300-km/h speedometer, an 8k-rpm tachometer, a clock, and gauges monitoring fuel level, coolant temperature, oil temperature, amperage and oil pressure. The five-digit odometer shows 82k kilometers (about 51k miles).
The 4.4-liter Tipo 251 Colombo V12 features a 60-degree bank angle, dual overhead camshafts on each cylinder bank, a dry-sump lubrication system and six Weber carburetors. MSD electronic ignition has been added. The engine was overhauled in the late 2000s with the replacement of the pistons, cylinder liners, bearings, valves and valve guides as well as rebuilds of the carburetors. The alternator was modified to 110-amp output in 2014, while the spark plugs, battery and electric cooling fans were replaced in 2019. Fluid changes were performed in preparation for the sale.
