The 1973 Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Daytona represents a particularly coveted production year, marking one of the final iterations of Ferrari’s legendary front-engine grand tourer before its eventual succession by the mid-engine 365 GT4 BB. This final year model combines the culmination of Ferrari’s accumulated production refinements with historical significance as one of the last classic Daytonas produced. At Beverly Hills Car Club, we’ve developed specialized expertise in 1973 Daytonas through years of handling these exceptional vehicles, providing owners with authoritative valuations and market insights that reflect both the model’s technical sophistication and its historical importance in Ferrari’s lineage.
Today’s market present unique considerations for 1973 Daytona owners. As the final production year, these vehicles often command premium valuations, particularly for well-documented examples with verified provenance. However, the increasing complexity of maintaining these sophisticated machines has led many owners to carefully evaluate their long-term ownership plans. The scarcity of qualified technicians familiar with the nuances of late-production Daytonas, combined with the rising costs of authentic parts and specialized service, often influences timing decisions for sale.

The iconic Ferrari Daytona dominated the sports car market in the 1970s, being the fastest and most complete Grand Tourer of its era. The Daytona nickname was given to the Ferrari 365 GTB/4 after its impressive 1-2-3 finish at the 1968 Daytona 24 Hours race, and has been synonymous with the brand ever since. With a top speed of 180 mph and 0 to 60 mph acceleration in less than 5.4 seconds, the Daytona was beating all the competition at the time. Its sleek and elegant body designed by Pininfarina featured modern and intriguing lines that lead the public to compare it with Lamborghini models of the era. The 1973 Ferrari 365 GTB/4 was the last of the Daytona series before the mid-engine Berlinetta Boxer replaced it. This Daytona was fitted with the 4.4-L DOHC V12 engine, capable of delivering a power of up to 352 hp at 7,500 hp.
The 1973 Ferrari 365 GTB/4 is one very special classic Ferrari, combining impressive performance, luxurious interior, and eye-catching design, which makes it a great addition to any collectors garage. The last year of production, 1973 models were particularly well built by an experienced team that perfected each unit according to prior model owners feedback. Available in a rare convertible trim, keep in mind that many coupe models were converted post production by knocking the roof off and are therefore not true Spyders.

“I had a old Ferrari that was taking up space in a small collection of Porsche’s. I hate being on the selling end of our hobby so I sent out a few email’s to see if there were any buyers that would give me a fair price for the old girl. I let Alex have the car because he was the only one that I spoke with that didn’t come across as a fast talking full of B.S. car salesman! I am retired but my time is still valuable and Alex didn’t waste any of it. He was straight to the point with a fair offer and that is how I like to do business. I would not hesitate for a moment to give him a call if you are like me and have a car (or collection) that is just in the way for whatever reason. Alex is a stand-up guy so give him a call. He will treat you with the utmost in respect and not give you a line of B.S.!!!!”
