Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Daytona: The Last Front-Engine V12 Legend
Close your eyes and imagine 1973. The world is changing fast, but in Maranello one principle remains sacred: the creation of truly timeless sports cars, where passion and mechanical soul become one. In the shadow of the Ferrari factory sits a machine that marks the end of an era. A razor-sharp nose. An impossibly long hood. This is no ordinary gran turismo—this is the 365 GTB/4 Daytona, Ferrari’s final and ultimate front-engine V12 berlinetta.
A dream on wheels, and it simply doesn’t get better. Just 5,724 miles from new, never restored, and Ferrari Classiche certified with the coveted Red Book. Daytonas in this condition rarely—if ever—come to market.
The Daytona: A Design Revolution
When Ferrari introduced the Daytona in the late 1960s, the automotive world sat up straight. Styled by Leonardo Fioravanti, it broke sharply with everything that came before it. Clean, taut lines. Pure proportions. A design that remains striking half a century later. It was the final chapter of Ferrari’s classic front-engine V12 tradition—and perhaps its most refined expression.
Beneath that endless hood lives a 4.4-liter V12 with dual overhead camshafts, producing 352 horsepower—enough for it to claim the title “fastest production car in the world” in its day. A sophisticated transaxle layout ensures ideal weight distribution, while independent suspension and four-wheel disc brakes deliver precision that was unmatched in its era.
And the name? Daytona. A tribute to Ferrari’s legendary 1-2-3 sweep at the 1967 24 Hours of Daytona. Ferrari never officially adopted it—but the world did.
A Pristine Ferrari With a Faultless History
This particular example left Maranello on October 23, 1973 and was delivered through Luigi Chinetti Motors in the United States. Since then, it has passed through the hands of devoted custodians—collectors who understood exactly what they owned and treated it with absolute reverence. Apart from a single respray in its original color, this Daytona remains untouched.
What you get here is virtually unparalleled:
- Original matching-numbers engine & gearbox
- Verified original mileage
- Ferrari Classiche Red Book (2024)
- Complete books, manuals, and original tool kit
