Chassis Number: 16839
Built to do battle with the futuristic, mid-engined Miura, the Ferrari GTB/4 berlinetta was something of a bruiser compared with its Lamborghini rival. In open GTS/4 guise, the car that would later be coined the โDaytonaโ by enthusiasts combined thundering V12 performance with beautiful design to incredible effect. Chassis 16839 is the 90th example of a 122-car production, and the 65th of 96 examples that were destined to be sold in the United States. Finished in Giallo Fly over Pelle Nera Vaumol leather, the car is thought to be one of just 16 U.S. examples to feature the classic combination, with air conditioning and a desirable Becker radio adding to the Daytonaโs appeal. Authenticated by Ferrari Classiche in its original U.S. specification, the car has been converted to European specification, which included modifying the headlamps, removing emissions equipment and adjusting the front and rear bumpers. As rare and desirable today as when first unveiled in 1969, the Ferrari 365 GTS/4 Daytona Spider offers everything you could want in a sports car. Much prized by owners and collectors, Daytona Spiders are rarely offered for public sale, let alone examples of this quality.
