When the checkered flag dropped over the 24 Hours of Daytona in 1979, it was this very Ferrari 365 GTB/4 that crossed the finish line in 2nd place overall–and first in its class.



First campaigned at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1973 under the NART banner, the Daytona is one of just 15 Competizione models produced by Ferrari and one of only five Series III models built.

Additional race history includes outings at the 6 Hours of Watkins Glen and 12 Hours of Sebring, driven by several notable racers like Robert Reed Carradine, John Morton, Milt Minter and Sam Posey.



In 1980, the 365 GTB/4 made the transition to vintage racing, competing in the Monterey Historics, Sebring Vintage Races and Shell Ferrari Maserati Historic Challenge.

Under the care of its current owner, the Ferrari underwent a comprehensive restoration to return it to its 1973 Le Mans specifications, and soon after won the Enzo Ferrari Trophy at the 2024 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance.



Today, the car is accompanied by a correct tool kit, spare wheels, period photos, a Marcel Massini report and more.

Find this 1973 Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Daytona Competizione Series III for auction from Gooding Christie’s with an estimated value of $8,000,000-$10,000,000.
