If race history is your thing, this Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Competizione has it in spades. Let’s start with its biggest accomplishment–the GT class win at the 1975 24 Hours of Daytona.
Noted car owner Vic Loh fielded the Interscope Racing team for that victory, with backing from Ted Field. Field’s wealth came from his family’s Marshall Field’s department stores and he’d later found movie production company Interscope Communications and record label Interscope Records. Drivers Jon Woodner and Fred Phillips led the team to the Daytona win. However, far more famous names sat behind the wheel of this car in major events.
Before Loh’s team owned it, Luigi Chinetti acquired it new for his famed NART operation. In its first race at Daytona in 1973, Claude Ballot-Léna (seven-time Le Mans class winner) and Jean-Claude Andruet (five-time Le Mans class winner) took turns at the wheel. An accident ended their race early. Then NART entered it in Le Mans that year with Jean-Pierre Paoli and Alain Couderc, where they crashed just four laps into the affair. Al Unser Jr. later drove the car in its final Daytona 24 Hours in 1981.
In recent years, the Ferrari has competed in historic events at Goodwood and Monterey multiple times. It’s even presented at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance and the Palm Beach Cavallino Classic.
Find this 1973 Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Daytona Competizione for auction at RM Sotheby’s, with an estimated value of $5,500,000-$7,500,000.
