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. Our experience shows that even vehicles requiring mechanical attention or restoration mostly maintain market appeal due to their historical significance and investment potential.
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.
The decision to sell a 1973 Daytona involves navigating several critical factors that can significantly impact value realization.

“Dealing with Alex in selling my car was one of the easiest transactions in buying or selling a vehicle I have ever had. Alex and his entire team are extremely professional and a true pleasure to deal with. I recommend strongly to anyone buying or selling a vehicle to contact Alex Manos.”
“Fast easy transaction. Thank you!”
“There’s two words that describe this man. Class and Professionalism. This transaction could not have gone any smoother. For starters this guy answers the phone himself -no voicemails. If he’s out to a meeting, he’ll get back with you, he answers the phone. I spoke to him about what I had, he told me to send him pictures. And within minutes of looking at the pictures we agreed on a fair offer. After hanging up the phone, I kid you not, within two minutes his transport company called me to schedule the pick up the following morning -within about two hours of making the transaction. he sent me a picture of a cashiers check made out in my name. The pick up was easy breezy the transport guy had the paperwork to sign, gave me a cashiers check in my name and he picked up the car took all of five minutes. If you’re selling your exotic or luxury car this is the guy you want to choose. no drama, no stress. I don’t think across the whole United States or even throughout the World you can do an easier more hassle free transaction then with Alex Manos. he literally takes all the stress out of selling your car and he is a fair and honest person which is not easy to come by in the car industry. Ten Stars!!!!!!! “
“Very hassle free transaction. The funds for selling the car were available in a very short time and the transporter picked up the car in a minimum amount of time. Paperwork was a snap. The only complaint I have is that the selling price was somewhat less than I was hoping for but I understand the market is down and the car cannot command a high selling price. This was the third car I have sold to Alex and every transaction has gone without a hitch.”
“The whole experience start to finish was a pleasure. I had listed my car online with not much feedback, I decided to send a few pics to Alex. We agreed on a price bing boom bang, they sent check, sent truck to pick up and my Florida Ferrari is now in Southern California in a new home. Many thanks to Alex and his whole crew awesome job.”
“Once I decided to sell my Ferrari, the process was very quick and efficient. Everything I discussed with Alex in the initial conversation regarding payment and shipping was followed thorough in a very professional manner. It was hard selling the car after 18 years but the transaction was very smooth and I would recommend Alex to anyone.”
“I sold my Ferrari to Alex in a very comfortable and efficient manner. He quoted me a price, I said yes, and within 15 minutes the money was in my account. It was hard to believe that we could conduct such a transaction, so quickly and painlessly. Alex has assembled a cadre of people whose only goal is to help and make the deal equitably, and effortlessly, so all concerned are satisfied. I would endorse and recommend to anyone. You will not be disappointed.”
“I sold Alex a Ferrari 355 Spyder, the sale was seamless and rapid, and Alex delivered everything as promised. I would not hesitate to deal with Alex again. Gary Bobileff Bobileff Motorcar Company San Diego, Ca.”
“It was a clean and fast sale, and he had the money in my account the day before they picked up the car. He was very professional and nice. I would recommend him to anyone who needs to sell a car.”
