Ferrari owned by Evel Knievel and Reggie Jackson worth millions up for auction
Baseball great and celebrity stunt man were among its previous owners
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}The Ferrari Daytona is one of the most legendary cars ever built, and there is one coming up for auction that was owned by a trio of legends.
The 1973 Ferrari 365 GTS/4 Daytona Spider by Scaglietti was originally purchased by California furniture magnate James Levitt and sold three years later to Evel Knievel.
The celebrity stuntman did not keep it very long, however.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}The numerous injuries he had suffered during his career made it difficult to get in and out of the low-slung sports car, so he ended up selling just a few months later to famed DJ Frankie Crocker, according to auctioneer RM Sotheby's.

Crocker, who created the "urban contemporary" format and helped build New York City's WBLS into one of the nation's premiere radio stations, kept the car until 1997.
