    Well, if the history cited above is correct then 15297 can't be the car we are looking for. If Roger Sherman was indeed the original owner, and I have been told that Art Miller got the car from Roger Miller, then the history of the car as supplied by Armen rules out 15297!

    Wow, I didn't intend to make this so difficult! Now I REALLY want to know, WHERE IS THIS CAR TODAY!!!! Thank you all for helping. Is this a mystery car???? I would beleive this is the original color??? In the pictures the car is 5 years old. We bought the car in 1975 making it 3 years old. It must have been original. Unfortuneatly all we have is the color to go by.

    You guys know much more about this than I do - what is the reason that Armen's car couldn't have been 16455? Is it known that Mr. Lanvin (?) owned the car from 1972-1991, or is it just known that he owned it in 1972 and someone else owned it in 1991, with no known history in between?

    Seems strange that at least four "owners" are known on Armen's car (dealer in Nyack, Armen's father, Hamilton, and Haratounian) but no one can firmly associate any of these names with a particular serial numbered Daytona Spyder.

    Erik, i think the last thing we want to do is ADD to a list... Gerald had it narrowed down to about six cars... 15297 seemed like the best match, but if the history posted on 15297 is true, then it's gonna pretty tough to figure out...

    i don't know, but when Gerald went through them, he narrowed it down to six... i'm pretty sure it has to be one of those six... Are we absolutely certain that the history on 15297 is correct...?

    The cars I originally narrowed it down to were six cars that I knew had been redone in black/tan. But the known history eliminated four of them. But there was a seventh car that started out gray/red.

    So I wound up with three candidates:

    14857. Originally giallo fly 20-Y-191. But offered for sale in 1974 in TX described as silver-gray with red leather. Alleged to have been sold 1974 to Horace Hull II, Memphis, TN. Then offered Feb 1978 by Motor Cars d'Elegance, Santa Ana, CA. Light charcoal gray with burgundy interior. Blaupunkt Berlin stalk radio/cassette. Next offered Jul 1978 by Stutz Motor Car Co., Los Angeles, CA. Black with tan interior. 12,000 miles. Lots of subsequent history.

    15297. Originally grigio ferro 106-E-8 with rosso 3171 interior. No early history known until 1986 when Art Miller, Miami, FL acquired it from Roger Sherman of Florida. Some claim Sherman was original owner. Then offered offered Dec 1986 by MDR Enterprises, Santa Monica, CA. Black with tan interior. Lots of subsequent history.

    16455. Originally grigio ferro 106-E-8 with rosso 3171 interior. Owned 1979 -198? by Jerry Siemons, Beverly Hills, CA. Offered 1983 by Walt McCune, Modena Imports, West Hollywood, CA. Red with black interior. Zero miles on rebuilt engine. Then Nov 1991 at "The Auction", Las Vegas, NV. Described as gray with red interior. Lots of subsequent history.

    Another VERY INTYERESTING STORY!!!!! How Ironic is this, Monday I had lunch with Jerry Siemons & my father. We were talking Ferraris (how could you not!) I told him my favorite Ferrari was a Daytona Spider. He went off telling my he had a very rare color Daytona Spider. DARK SILVER/BURGANDY interior!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I flipped out!! NO WAY! I told him the story about this thread. How I was searching for my old car. The years I owned it and so on... He owned his car for 12 years but overlapped the years my father owned his. So He was going to call me back on his VIN#. He thought it was 16XXX, 16445??? 16455. Last night I called him and confirmed his must have been 16455. He agreed.
    Here is a gentleman i've MAYBE met once 20 years ago (when my father owned Rodeo Coach) ( A whole different story) I'm having lunch with him and this conversation comes up! DARK SILVER/BURGANDY!!!!!!!! ONLY 3 of them! Crazy, Crazy, Crazy!!!!
