Where are the Daytonas for sale?

Looks like a very nice car, they even kept the 8 tracks.

 

Daytonas are creeping up in price.

 

Generally nice car.

Have my doubts about it being unrestored; someone went through a lot of trouble to banish signs of previous emission gear (or engine has been swapped)...

 

I absolutely trust your opinion.
In this instance, I will offer a little bit of context to weigh towards the claim of originality.

The original owner, Theodore J. Day bought the car new and owned it until his passing in 2017.
I have no trouble believing that Mr. Day took fastidious care of the car and drove it sparingly.

I was able to meet his brother Robert a couple of times and see a couple of his cars.

Driving the cars sparingly and taking fastidious care of them is a trait both of these men inherited from their (Ferrari)famous mother.

Ferrari royalty. Is the 375 still with the family

 

The Day car, as well as Gil Nickles, are two of my favorite Ferrari stories.

Of course, there are not many boring Ferrari owners......

 

I would assume so but that's a guess on my part.

 

I love the 8 track tapes

 

I see, you’re blaming the mother for her kids not driving their cars.
I wonder how many collectible and/or exotic car owners use that excuse for not putting miles on their cars.

 

This is shows as Sold in the Bonhams results but without a price.

 

^ smog equipment missing and they went to a lot of trouble disguising that. will be difficult and expensive to return to factory spec.
“no red book for you”

Marcel, What is your opinion on this unusual registration of the car being a "1975"

 

Nothing unusual here.
17597 was completed 6 December 1973.
Ever heard of the OIL CRISIS? Google that.
Speed limits introduced everywhere, massive economy crisis worldwide, millions of people lost their jobs, turmoil, etc.
Sportscars absolutely unsellable. Hundreds of unsold brand new Ferraris stored for more than one year in Maranello.
17597 was finally sold 11 August 1975 as a new car to dealer Crepaldi in Milan who re-sold it one month later to the first private owner in Monza.
This Daytona sat in Maranello for about 20 months. 17597 is the 10th to last Daytona built (in terms of chassis number sequence). The very last one (17615) was completed 20 December 1973.

Ah Yes! The Oil Crisis! Thank you for the info. Makes Sense now.

 

Oil crisis….yeah, the good old days. I was pissed because gas went up over 40 CENTS per gallon. And I don’t mean it went up by 40 cents, I mean it cost more than 40 cents. I had a fresh drivers license and a great little British “sports car” (MGB) and suddenly I couldn’t afford gas! Got a job at a local furniture factory (weekdays after school and Saturdays) so I could pay for gas! I think my starting pay sweeping floors and cleaning bathrooms was $1.90/hour. Once I was old enough to work legally on the machines (table saws, band saws, molding machines, shapers, routers, sanding, drill press, etc.) I got $2.00 per hour! I was rolling in the dough…LOL.

^ looks like a very nice car.

 

Non-original exterior and non-original interior color.
The VERY SAME Daytona was for sale at the Mecum Kissimmee auction exactly one year ago (Jan 2021) but with 4 (four!) miles less on the odo.............
