This 1972 Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Daytona (chassis #14989) is a highly-original US-market example that has been Ferrari Classiche Red Book-certified and is finished in Celeste Metalico over Pelle Nera leather. It was delivered to Modern Classic Motors in Reno, Nevada before being sold new by Griswold Company of Berkeley, California in September 1972. The car remained with the original owner in Northern California for 26 years and passed through the selling dealership twice in the late 1990s and early 2000s before being acquired by its current owner in 2013. Power is provided by a numbers-matching 4.4-liter Colombo quad-cam V12, which features six Weber carburetors and is paired with a five-speed manual transaxle. Now showing just 24k miles, this 365 GTB/4 Daytona is being offered on dealer consignment in Emeryville, California with a Ferrari Classiche Red Book, a 2012 pre-purchase inspection report from marque specialist Patrick Ottis, a set of owner’s manuals, a factory tool kit, service records, and a clean Montana title.

The Pininfarina-designed Daytona debuted at the 1968 Paris Auto Salon featuring sharp-edged, raked bodywork envisioned by Leonardo Fioravanti and wrapped over a welded oval-tube frame. The seller states that chassis #14989 still retains its original Celeste Metalico (106-A-16) paint finish. Areas of the paint are noted to exhibit wear, and 25 paint-meter readings are shown in the gallery.

The Scaglietti-built body features twin pop-up headlights, adopted for the model in 1971 to comply with US safety standards. A clear protective film has been added to the forward surfaces, though the film has yellowed. A pre-purchase inspection performed for the fourth owner in 2012 determined that the windshield has been replaced.

Cromodora 15×7.5″ alloy wheels wear correct silver paint and feature polished knock-off spinners. Chips are noted in the finish on each wheel, and the Cromodoras wear old Goodyear Police Special tires.

Inside, the original Pelle Nera leather (VM 8500) covers the contoured bucket seats, doors, and console. Additional equipment includes gray carpeting, correct mouse-hair dash covering, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, gated shifter, power windows, and air conditioning, although the latter does not blow cold. A RetroSound radio has been added in the console, and the padded seat bolsters show signs of wear associated with usage.

Veglia Borletti instrumentation is housed in a brushed aluminum surround and includes a 180-mph speedometer and a tachometer with a 7,700-rpm redline. The five-digit odometer shows just under 24k miles, approximately 1k of which have been added since 2004 by the third, fourth, and current owners.

The 4.4-liter Tipo 251 Colombo V12 features a 60° bank angle, dual overhead camshafts, and six dual-barrel Weber 40DCN 21/A carburetors. It was rated for 352 horsepower when new. A Magneti Marelli AEC 103A ignition unit is retained, and the ignition system, carburetors, and driveline were serviced fewer than 500 miles ago in 2012 by Restoration and Performance Motorcars in Vermont. A pre-purchase inspection carried out in 2012 by Patrick Ottis in Berkeley, California included a compression test yielding the following results (in psi) for each cylinder:

1 – 175

2 – 175

3 – 165

4 – 165

5 – 175

6 – 170

7 – 180

8 – 180

9 – 165

10 – 180

11 – 180

12 – 180

Engine number 1436 is shown stamped above, matching documentation provided by Ferrari Classiche to confirm originality. Shifting is through a five-speed manual transaxle, also listed as matching in the 2013 Classiche report.

Four-wheel independent suspension includes correct Koni 82T-1633 and 1634 shock absorbers as documented in the Classiche paperwork, along with ventilated disc brakes. The exhaust system has been replaced according to the inspection performed by Patrick Ottis.

Included with the sale is the Classiche Red Book, a set of owner’s manuals, the original warranty booklet, a collection of service records, and a tool kit, jack, and knock-off hammer. Removed smog equipment is also included along with a radio and other parts.

The Classiche documents note the original colors and numbers, and additional pages reporting on originality are attached in the photo gallery below. Also included in the gallery is the 2012 pre-purchase inspection report from Patrick Ottis, a marque specialist and member of the International Advisory Council for the Preservation of the Ferrari Automobile.
