    Gilco did not make any chassis for Ferraris in the late 60s and early 70s.

    Evidently not 14997 but instead a different 1971 Daytona *14859* but it to was cut by Straman. The Daytona was for sale; USA as blk/blk back in 1990 for $275k.
    The interior differences between this car and 14997 should have been a bigger clue perhaps as to which Daytona it was or in this case wasn't...

    It seems quite a few of these Straman Spyder conversions in this close proximity of chassis numbers are black.

    Rather, I call it the 'Miami Vice' influence.

    No record of the colors for how this Daytona started out though it was black in 1990. Marcel hasn't commented on the build color or interior color yet for *14859* here...

    Thank you for coming to the rescue yet again Marcel! That is amazing; another Daytona originally in Oro Chiaro. Next thing you will be telling me it was delivered by Modern Classic Motors to. As I noted before the Oro Chiaro color is rare in the production run of these models but you would not think so from all these examples appearing here...

    16 were originally Oro Chiaro.

    No, 14859 did not go to MCM.

    …what a mess…

    Would be incredible in it's original colour combination, even if it's a cutted Coupé....

    No.
    This is Nocciola 106-M-27. Nocciola is hazelnut.
    NOT Oro Chiaro = clear gold.

    Thank you, both colours are exceptional, would personally prefer Oro Chiaro...

    But for such a car originality counts imho.
