“The four vehicles from the Alan Smith Collection represent a unique era of sports car design and performance,” said Craig Jackson, chairman and CEO of Barrett-Jackson. “The 365 GTB/4 Daytona is especially noteworthy because its design was a significant departure from previous roadgoing Ferraris.”

The 1971 Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Daytona is powered by the original 4.4-liter V12 engine paired with a 5-speed manual transmission with matching numbers. It has been repainted in the original Fly Yellow with recent polish and detail, has a black interior and rides on chrome wire spoke wheels. It has 34,277 miles and includes a Marcel Massini report showing original options and ownership history.
