Coupe Chassis Num: 15965   This 1972 Ferrari 365 GTB4 Michelotti has a one-off Group IV Spyder body. It was ordered by Luigi Chinetti in 1975, designed by Giovanni Michelotti, and intended to be entered in LeMans race of 1975 with the NART in the GTX group. The car qualified but did not start due to the decision of the NART to withdraw all its cars that year. In 1978 the car participated in the Daytona 24-Hour. Originally painted in white with red side stripes and pacific blue leather trim, the car has been shown at the Geneva Motorshow of 1975 and then was repainted in red after the race at LeMans. The well-known car collector, Mohn Mecom, put it in street version with its present brown leather trim and electric windows. Originally conceived as a full Spyder, the car has been built as a Targa in order to get a roll bar and increase rigidity. With this one-off example, Giovanni Michelotti has designed a concept car with very modern lines which have not to be compared to a regular Daytona. This car certainly represents a piece of history and a perfect example of the fusion between the two worlds represented by the North American Racing Team and the Italian tradition.
