A striking red 1972 Ferrari 365 GTS/4 Daytona Spider, chassis 14913, has surfaced ahead of Gooding Christie's Rétromobile New York Auctions in 2026. The car and its early details come from Gooding Christie's own listing, and its reappearance gives collectors another shot at one of Maranello's most coveted factory convertibles.
Ferrari introduced the 365 GTB/4 Berlinetta, later nicknamed "Daytona" by enthusiasts, at the 1968 Paris Motor Show. Power came from a 4.4-liter, four-cam V-12 rated at 352 horsepower, paired with a rear-mounted five-speed transaxle. Pininfarina drew the low, muscular body, and Scaglietti built every example, coupe or Spider alike. The result was a 0-60 run in the low five-second range and a genuine top speed north of 170 mph, numbers that made the Daytona an instant legend the moment it landed in showrooms.
Ferrari built just over 1,400 Daytona Berlinettas between 1968 and 1973, but only 122 factory Spiders like chassis 14913 were ever completed at Scaglietti. Genuine factory convertibles are a different animal from the many Berlinettas that outside shops cut into open cars later, and because U.S.-spec VIN numbers don't distinguish the two, provenance research is essential before any Daytona Spider purchase.
That rarity shows up clearly in the numbers tracked by Hagerty's valuation tools. Hagerty's Price Guide currently places a number-3 condition, "Good" 1971 365 GTS/4 Daytona around $1.9 million, with values roughly flat over the past year and down about 5 percent over three years. Recent results back up that range: Mecum sold a 1971 Daytona Spider for $2,530,000 in May 2026, and RM Sotheby's brought $2,315,000 for a 1972 example with under 21,000 miles that August. Berlinetta coupes trade in a completely different bracket. Gooding Christie's itself sold a manual 1971 365 GTB/4 Berlinetta with roughly 54,000 miles for $610,000 that same month, illustrating just how large the Spider premium really is.
Motorious has tracked that coupe-versus-Spider gap before, including a numbers-matching Daytona Berlinetta that turned up for sale, a useful reference point for anyone shopping the closed-roof end of the market.
Gooding Christie's arrives at this sale with plenty of momentum. The house set a $25.3 million Ferrari record and tallied $128 million in total sales at its most recent Pebble Beach auction, a track record that suggests its Rétromobile New York event will draw serious attention from Ferrari collectors.
The timing also lines up with the broader Rétromobile calendar. Rival house Broad Arrow has already begun previewing major consignments in Paris ahead of Rétromobile week, and the appearance of chassis 14913 suggests the leadup to the show will be busy on both sides of the Atlantic.
Complete photos, a full description, and pricing estimates for this Daytona Spider are expected from Gooding Christie's closer to the sale date. Whatever chassis 14913 ultimately brings, it's another sign that Ferrari's V-12 grand tourer from half a century ago hasn't lost an ounce of its pull on the market.
