This Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Daytona Berlinetta by Scaglietti was built as a U.S.-specification example and was completed by the factory in March of 1973. It left the factory finished in Argento Metallizato over a Nero Connolly leather interior. It had factory options of air conditioning and power windows. Later that month, the car was shipped to the United States and delivered new to the official Ferrari dealer Chinetti-Garthwaite in Paoli, Pennsylvania.

By 1976, the car remained on the East Coast and was listed for sale by Robert Minnick of Buffalo, New York, who is believed to have been the car's original owner. Mr. Minnick had driven the car approximately 10,000 miles and allegedly fitted it with a custom stereo system. The car's next owner was Stan Zagorski. During his 13 year ownership, Mr. Zagorski put an additional 27,600 miles on its odometer. In 1989 he advertised it for sale, at which point it had been painted red. It was then acquired by Dennis McCann of Westerville, Ohio, who kept the Daytona for another 15 years. During Mr. McCann's ownership, the car saw little use. By the time he parted with the Daytona, the odometer showed 37,649 miles.

It entered the ownership of an individual of Colorado before it was purchased by Richard Standage of Moorpark, California. It then moved back to the East Coast in 2011 when it was purchased by Wayne Carini, who returned it to its original silver paintwork. It was later purchased by Bob White of Scottsdale, Arizona, in 2012 and was purchased by its current custodian in January of 2015.
