1971 FERRARI 365 GTB/4 DAYTONA SPIDER CONVERSION BY STRAMAN

This vehicle was originally delivered new with European specs to Clarke Simpkins a Ferrari dealer in Vancouver British Columbia with air conditioning. This model contains the Tipo 251 V12 engine featuring six Weber twin-choke carburetors allowing peak horsepower production to be 352 with a top speed of 174 mph. This Daytona was converted in 1979 by Richard Straman of Costa Mesa CA to a convertible Spider model under the ownership of respected Ferrari aficionado Carl Cantera. Straman was known for producing the best-quality Ferrari conversions on the market as he used actual Ferrari components. Algar Ferrari of Philadelphia PA acquired the vehicle in the early 2000s and sold it to John Oppenheimer. Oppenheimer owned it briefly before Chuck Wray of D.C. Grand Touring brokered a deal transferring ownership to Roshan Siva of Vermont. Under Sivas ownership #13933 won Best Interior at the inaugural 2009 Saratoga Wine & Food and Fall Ferrari Festival. The vehicle was later sold to Steve Frary from whom the current owner acquired it. In January 2016 #13933 received a full restoration at Automotive Restoration Inc. in Stratford CT at a cost of $108450. Although the car had won Best Interior at the Saratoga Fall Ferrari Festival the current owner requested a fresh new Italian leather interior be upholstered to complement #13933s new paintwork. Over the course of this vehicles 46-year history it has been driven 73984 kilometers or roughly 45971 original miles (mileage not indicated on the title). Benefitting from its fresh professional restoration this rare Straman conversion is a sterling example of Ferraris classic combination of style elegance and raw power. In its current state #13933 is in pristine concours condition. This vehicle would be equally comfortable driving around town with the top down on a gorgeous summer day as it would be being displayed in a world-class concours. In February 2017 it was shown at the Boca Raton Concours where it earned a First Place trophy. **TITLE IN TRANSIT**
