RM Sotheby’s announced the sale of three Ferrari Daytonas, including a 1973 365 GTB/4 Daytona Competizione with Le Mans and Daytona history. The Daytonas are being offered through RM Sotheby’s Sealed Bid platform, with bidding closing on June 26, 2025.

“It’s rare to see three Daytonas this significant offered together,” said Shelby Myers, global head of private sales at RM Sotheby’s. “From the NART-campaigned Competizione to the unrestored Coupe and well-preserved Spider, each highlights a different chapter in the 365 GTB/4 story and together represent the perfect trifecta of Daytonas for any collection.”

The first of five third-series Daytona Competiziones built by Ferrari, this car was delivered new to Luigi Chinetti’s North American Racing Team (NART) and campaigned by them throughout the 1973 and 1974 seasons. It competed twice at the 24 Hours of Le Mans and three times at the 24 Hours of Daytona, where its best result came in 1975: 7th overall and 1st in class.

Acquired by its current owner over 20 years ago, it has since appeared at events such as the Le Mans Classic, Goodwood Festival of Speed, Tour Auto and Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance. With racing pedigree, rarity and event history, this Daytona Competizione is among Ferrari’s most desirable GT-class racers—an exceptional addition to any collection and supremely eligible for some of the world’s most exclusive historic racing and concours events, stated company officials in a press release. RM Sotheby’s is estimating this car will fetch between $5,500,000 and $7,500,000. Bidding ends June 26, 2025, at 3:30 p.m. EDT.

Driven less than 2,000 miles since its acquisition by the consignor in 1986, it is a beautiful example of one of Ferrari’s most desirable convertible sports cars, according to the press release. RM Sotheby’s is estimating this car will fetch between $2,000,000 and $2,500,000. Bidding ends June 26, 2025, at 3:15 p.m. EDT.
