1972 Ferrari Daytona For Sale - Full History and Massini Report,
Borrani Wheels LMC is very proud to offer for sale this 1972
Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Berlinetta Scaglietti. Ferrari 365 GTB/4 acquired
its unofficial "Daytona" moniker after Maranello swept the top
three places in the 1967 endurance race of the same name. Enzo
Ferrari was reportedly quite annoyed when the Daytona nomenclature
subsequently leaked to the press during testing, and it was never
officially applied to the model. While much of the Daytona's sleek,
dart-shaped Scaglietti bodywork was steel, its low weight was
typically maintained using aluminum for the doors, hood, and trunk
lid. Under the hood was a four-cam, 4.4-liter Colombo V-12,
developing an impressive and unprecedented 352 horsepower. With a
top speed of 174 mph, the 365 GTB/4 Daytona was Ferrari's fastest
road-going automobile to date, and it was one of the fastest
automobiles in the world during the early 1970s. The Daytona had
several starring roles in Hollywood movies and TV, two of the most
popular being the 1976 film, Gumball Rally, and more so, the major
hit 80s TV cop drama, Miami Vice. This Ferrari Daytona was
completed on December, 28 th , 1971 and was delivered to Luigi
Chinetti Motors in Greenwich, Connecticut in January of 1972. It
would live in Phoenix, Arizona, until 1977, when it was
professionally converted into a Spyder by Richard Straman and Co.
in Costa Mesa, California. It would then move to Chicago, Illinois
briefly before being moved down South to Georgia in 1979. After
living in Florida next, it would then head west to Beverly Hills
and San Carlos, California for a couple years. In 1988 it made its
way back to the east coast in South Carolina where it would reside
with a very well respected Ferrari collector. Its Nero exterior
paint shines like new and gives the Ferrari a slick and an
absolutely stunning appearance while the black interior is in
equally wonderful condition. The completely rebuilt V12 sounds
heavenly and screams classic Ferrari when you start it up. Complete
with factory air conditioning and beautiful Borrani wheels with
Michelin XWX tires. A surplus of documentation accompanies this
Daytona including; a complete Marcel Massini Report, years of parts
and service invoices, a folder full of 1997 and 1998 documents and
pictures, old canceled checks, old bills of sale and several old
titles. The Ferrari Daytona is one of the most desired and coveted
road-going Ferrari's to date, and when it comes to the Spyder, one
of the rarest. With its professionally done Spyder conversion done
in the 70's, this Daytona brings the glamor and open air driving.
Its showroom worthy condition is stunning and the history is just
as impressive. Dawning the same color, year, and style as
Crockett's Daytona in Miami Vice, this car is instantly
recognizable and would be a showpiece of any collection. Additional
