Yahoo Autos Ultra-rare 1967 Ferrari 365 GTB/4 prototype is headed to auction
Built from 1968 to 1973, the Ferrari 365 GTB/4 regularly trades hands for over half a million dollars. Auction house RM Sotheby's is offering one that could sell for considerably more: It's the first 364 GTB/4 prototype built by Ferrari, and it stands out with several specific features.
You don't need to be a Ferrari expert to tell that chassis number 10287 isn't a run-of-the-mill GTB/4. Built in 1967 but titled as a 1969 model, it's characterized by a more classic-looking front end with two round headlights, small rectangular turn signals integrated into a two-part bumper, and an oval grille. In comparison, the series-produced model (which is also known as the Daytona) featured four round headlights that either popped up or were covered by a glass panel, bigger turn signals that wrapped around the front end, and a smaller grille.
Out back, the prototype wears three round lights that are smaller than the two units on the production model, and it's fitted with a shorter trunk lid as well as a single-piece bumper. The coupe's proportions didn't change as it shifted from the design studio to the showroom floor.
