　　Chassis no. 15273

　　Unveiled in Paris in 1968, the Ferrari 365 GTB/4-nicknamed

　　"Daytona" after Ferrari's podium sweep at the legendary race-is the

　　pinnacle of the classic front-engine, V-12 Ferrari. Pininfarina

　　sculpted its aggressively beautiful body, making it an icon of

　　automotive design, and let's face it, a bit of an intimidating

　　beast even standing still.

　　The Daytona wasn't just a pretty face. When it debuted, it was

　　hailed as the world's fastest production sports car, its 352

　　horsepower, four-cam V-12 capable of a claimed 174 mph. Forget

　　today's supercar numbers, back then, this was warp speed.

　　Journalists weren't just impressed; they were practically giddy,

　　with reports of hitting 176+ mph before the inevitable corrections.

　　It wasn't just speed, though; the Daytona was a complete package, a

　　grand tourer in the truest sense of the word.

　　This particular Daytona, chassis 15273, has its own unique story.

　　Fresh off the assembly line, its first owner was a well-known

　　Ferrari enthusiast Jorge Carnicero in 1972. (According to Marcel

　　Massini's history report) and by 1975 the Daytona was purchased by

　　Thomas Kern of West Virginia. It was not long before the Daytona

　　changed hands one more time. Later in the year, and with only about

　　1,000 total miles on its odometer, Mr. Kern sold 15273 to active

　　sports car enthusiasts, his family friends Regina "Regie" Doll and

　　her husband, John, of Thurmont, Maryland. The Daytona would remain

　　in their ownership for the next four decades, a testament to how

　　special this Ferrari truly is.

　　And these weren't garage queen collectors. The Dolls owned and

　　actively enjoyed dozens of sports cars over the years, from MGs to

　　Mercedes SLs, even Ferraris galore. Regie wasn't just a passenger;

　　she was competitive in sports car racing as far back as 1957, Mrs.

　　Doll was a charter member of the Mason Dixon Sports Car Club and

　　co-founder of the Mid-Atlantic Regional Championship for

　　Autocrossing.

　　Highlights of the Doll collection included no fewer than five

　　Ferraris, including a 250 GT, a 275 GTS, and a 275 GTB/4, as well

　　as a 342 America that the couple drove to see the races at Sebring.

　　Mrs. Doll still holds Ferrari Owners Club membership no. 431,

　　identifying her as one of the club's longest-standing members.

　　Decades of loving ownership have left their mark, but in the best

　　possible way. It has an original rejuvenated interior but a new

　　stunning Dark Blue paint job. The windows still hold memories of

　　the past and its spirited history, including a Paddock Pass to the

　　Watkins Glen Grand Prix, likely from the 1979 event, still affixed

　　to the windshield. An internal fire suppression system was

　　installed, and the car proudly wears a cloisonne NART badge on the

　　rear of the trunk lid. It's the kind of detail that makes

　　enthusiasts go weak at the knees.

　　Acquired with just over 12,000 miles on the clock, this Daytona is

　　a time capsule. Its interior, bathed in that classic Ferrari black

　　leather, invites you back to a different era. This isn't just a car

　　to be admired, it's one that begs to be driven, to let that

　　glorious V-12 sing the way it was meant to. With its full manuals

　　and tool kit, it's ready for its next chapter. If you're the kind

　　of collector who craves not just a car, but a slice of history,

　　then this Daytona demands your attention.

　　When the consignor acquired the Daytona in 2016, its odometer

　　showed exactly 12,345 miles. Mrs. Doll had continued to use the car

　　sparingly through the years but less so recently as local traffic

　　volume had made exercising the big V-12 more of a challenge for

　　her. The Ferrari has the correct stance on its Michelins and

　　Cromodora alloys and presents as one would hope a low-mileage,

　　well-kept Daytona would. Complete with a beautiful set of manuals

　　and its tool roll, this seldom-seen Daytona has only been offered

　　for public sale one other time before now. One of the most exciting

　　Ferrari finds in recent memory, this striking Daytona stands ready

　　for its next appreciative caretaker.

　　Delivered to us to do concourse quality preservation restoration.

　　The car was stripped to bare metal, which unveiled the car had

　　never had any rust or damage at any time. This was the best Ferrari

　　we've ever seen. The interior was removed, cleaned, and rebuilt

　　using its original materials. The only surfaces replaced on the

　　interior were the mousehair dash covering, the carpets, and the

　　seat bolster surrounds. The rest of the interior is entirely

　　original. The car was refinished in Blue Ortis paint, which is by

　　far one, if not the most, stunning color for a Ferrari Daytona. All

　　of the chrome was replated, as was the majority of the hardware.

　　The engine received a complete reseal, including rebuilding all the

　　carburetors, etc. Every system was serviced, recommissioned and/or

　　restored to original like-new condition.
