Serial No. 16537, this Classiche-certified 1973 Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Daytona has been driven just 11,830 miles since June 1973, when it was delivered new to Chinetti-Garthwaite Imports in Paoli, Pennsylvania. First shown at the Paris Auto Salon in October 1968, the 365 GTB/4 was the most expensive and fastest road car in Ferrari’s then-21-year history. Its basic layout followed that of the 275 GTB/4 it replaced, with unequal-length wishbone suspension and 4-wheel power disc brakes, and its engine was placed well forward in a tube-steel frame and drove a rear-mounted 5-speed manual gearbox integrated with the differential.
The engine was the marvelous 4.4L twin-overhead-cam V-12 with six Weber downdraft carburetors, all together rated at 352 HP and 318 lb-ft of torque. Its Pininfarina-penned Scaglietti coachwork, somewhat controversial at the time, has only grown more attractive to the eye and is now considered one of Pininfarina’s most elegant designs. A U.S. version produced with air conditioning, Campagnolo wheels, power windows and a Becker Mexico AM/FM radio, No. 16537 was originally finished in rare Rosso Dino with a black leather interior.
In testament to its remarkable overall condition, it won the Platinum Award in 2014 at the Ferrari Club of America Concours d’Elegance, that organization’s highest award denoting virtually faultless authenticity and presentation. In 2017, No. 16537 was once again restored, a process during which it was stripped to bare metal and repainted in the correct Rosso Dino, and it also received a major service and a new exhaust system. In 2019, it received another extensive mechanical refresh that included new rubber bushings, rejetted carburetors and a new starter.
One of an estimated five Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Daytonas known to exist in Rosso Dino, it retains the original interior and is offered with books and tools, a Marcel Massini report and Ferrari Classiche “red book.” It’s a fabulous example of one of Ferrari’s ultimate front-engine V-12 grand tourers.
