1973 Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Coupe

This Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Daytona Berlinetta by Scaglietti was built to United States specifications, with left-hand drive and air conditioning. It was completed on November 5th of 1973 and delivered the following month to Luigi Chinetti Motors of Greenwich, Connecticut. By November of 1975, it was in Vancouver, British Columbia, and was advertised in that month's Road & Track magazine as 'probably the last unregistered Daytona coupe in U.S. Never driven.' The contact was a Miss N. Nicols, who may have been representing Don Kalmokoff. Miss Nicols was still advertising the car as late as March 1977, when it appeared in the pages of Hemmings Motor News.

At some point in the 1970s, it was purchased by Vancouver resident F.W. Griffiths, who had it refinished in red. It was sold in December of 1981 to William Gillespie Jr., of Germantown, Tennessee. Then in 1985 by Steve Forristall to Ron Cohen of Potomac, Maryland. Cohen stored the car until 2009. Mr. Cohen the reportedly spent $50,000 returning the car to roadworthy condition. It was later sold through a broker to its current caretaker. Since then, the car has been given a careful, sympathetic restoration and refinished it in the correct color (one of 30 finished in Nero). Currently the car has 15,594 miles on its odometer.
