Rare 1971 Ferrari Daytona Spider Heads to Monterey Auction with Three-Owner Provenance

A matching-numbers Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Daytona Spider with rich history and 34K miles is offered at Monterey Jet Center.


A rare 1971 Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Daytona Spider, one of just 121 examples produced, is headed to auction this August at the Broad Arrow Auctions event during Monterey Car Week.

Chassis number 14813, originally finished in Giallo Dino and delivered new through William F. Harrah’s Modern Classic Motors in Nevada, carries an extensive ownership history and remains a matching-numbers car per renowned Ferrari historian Marcel Massini. Retaining its factory Tipo 251 V12 engine and Tipo 605 transaxle, the car is expected to fetch between $2.5 and $2.8 million.

The Spider was purchased in 1972 by Dr. Baldhard G. Falk of California, who kept the vehicle for over three decades. Falk actively participated in Ferrari Owner’s Club events, including competitive outings at Laguna Seca. Following an incident in 1978, the vehicle underwent a meticulous restoration that preserved its original alloy and steel panels.

Now showing just 34,360 miles, the Daytona Spider has had only three owners from new. It was refreshed again in 2023 with a full bare-metal respray in Nero, reupholstered interior, and period-correct Ansa exhaust. Its condition and authenticity are supported by a comprehensive set of documents, including service records, manuals, and original Cromodora wheels.

With its well-documented provenance, careful restoration, and originality, the Spider represents a significant opportunity for collectors. As one of only 96 U.S.-delivered Spiders and among the final front-engine open Ferraris until the 812 GTS, this Daytona is a standout offering at Monterey’s Jet Center this summer. See it here.
