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.

“Very professional and helpful in making a smooth transaction. Followed through with everything they said they would.”
“Honestly, I could not have asked for a better selling experience with Alex for my Ferrari 400I. The transaction was fair, honest, courteous, responsive and thorough. Whenever I had a question, Alex or his associates got back to me quickly. I was relieved that there was no high pressure tactics and all of my phone and email communications received from Alex and his associates were courteous, professional and prompt. Arrangements for transporting both documents to me via Fed Ex and for transporting the car were handled efficiently and according to the promised schedule. I am the director of our local car club and will be recommending Alex to all of our members.”
“Very easy to do business. Very quick responses to questions. After the final agreement to sell, very quick and complete process over email, including bill of sale, power of attorney, title transfer, mailing instructions, transport arrangements, and complete follow up calls. Could not have been easier. The entire process from start to finish was three days.”
“Dealing with both Alex and Allison was an easy and seamless transaction. We quickly came to terms on the selling price, money was quickly sent, and the vehicle was soon scheduled for pickup. They have perfected the art of buying or selling a collector vehicle.”
“Alex was very professional, very responsive and fair in his price.”
“I called Alex to sell my Ferrari. We agreed on price and within a couple of hours the funds where in my account!!! I was contacted by the trucking company the same day and my car was picked up with no issues. The communication was awesome with Alex and the trucking company. Easiest business deal ever!”
“Outstanding customer service, I sold my Ferrari (a car I had owned for over 20 years) to Alex Manos. The process was straightforward and professional from first contact via the website form to agreeing upon a fair price and coordinating the details. I received an electronic deposit for the full price of the vehicle in a matter of hours and the shipping company handled the transport. Thanks Alex Manos for your honesty and professionalism in the process of buying my Ferrari! If you are considering the sale of your baby, I would definitely recommend going with Alex Manos.”
“From the initial contact Alex indicated he was a serious buyer of my cars and I indicated that I was a serious seller, obviously at the right price. He was very diligent in following up and confirmed to me that he was indeed serious about buying my 1962 Twin Grill Porsche Roadster and 1972 Dino 246 GT. We arranged a meeting, he was on time, and after a thorough inspection of the cars to validate that what I had represented to him was true, we agreed a price and the deal was done. We promptly went to the bank, the funds were transferred to me and the cars were speedily removed. I rate the convenience and the honesty of Alex and his firm very highly and would not hesitate to recommend him as a serious buyer of classic cars to my closest friends.”
“Thank you Alex and Team, you made my transaction smooth and effortless. The real Gem here is a man and company true to their word! That is Priceless and a true rarity!!! Thank You.”
“A person can’t help but be a tad bit skeptical that Alex will wire transfer payment and schedule shipping, keeping you the seller in the loop at all times. I cannot praise Alex and his staff enough on the ease and precision thru the process! Alex does exactly what he says. He will PROMPTLY wire transfer payment within hours. After you verify receipt of payment, simply overnight the title and bill of sale. He will arrange transport. Transport will contact you, and the driver will stay in contact with you while being polite and courteous. He will make the process EASY. Thank you Alex and crew for a seamless and clearly well-oiled system that is a testament to the value you place on the seller.”
