After 40 years lost in Japan, Ferrari will restore this rare Daytona. Until then, museum-goers can gaze at it in all its filthy splendor.
Can you imagine writing a check for roughly $2 million for a car that is so filthy you'd probably want to wear a hazmat suit to inspect its interior? Things are a little upside-down in the barn-find world anyway, and when the car in question is a one-of-one variant of the legendary Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Daytona, it all makes a little more sense.Before we get to why it's sitting, unwashed and worse for wear, in the Museo Ferrari in Modena, let's figure out why it's so dirty.
Every Daytona is special, but even by Daytona standards this one is unique. Chassis no. 12653 is allegedly the only road-going Daytona to wear a lightweight alloy body designed for the company's motorsport division. In addition to the lightweight body panels, it also features Plexiglass covered headlights and side windows, and was slathered in Rosso Chiaro paint over Nero leather.With 36,390 km on the odometer, the car sold for $2.2 million at that auction—filth and all.
