THE FERRARI 365 GTB/4 “DAYTONA”
Launched at Paris in 1968, Ferrari’s new 365 GTB/4 Berlinetta earned its unofficial “Daytona” name as a result of the Scuderia’s podium sweep at the famous Daytona 24-hour race in 1967. Now, as when new, the 365 GTB/4 remains the ultimate expression of the classic front-engine V-12 Ferrari GT concept, with its lean and aggressive, Scaglietti-built body universally acknowledged as one of Pininfarina’s finest designs. Early models had full-width Plexiglas headlamp covers, but stricter US regulations demanded the covered, pop-up arrangement fitted to all Daytonas from 1970 forward. The Daytona was hailed at introduction as the fastest production sports car in the world, with a factory-claimed top speed of 174 mph courtesy of its 352-HP, 4.4-litre V-12 engine. The Daytona was truly an important production model for Ferrari, with marque experts citing 1,383 examples constructed from 1968 to 1974.
THIS CAR
This beautiful Ferrari Daytona coupe is an excellent example of a correct and non-molested car. Formerly owned by Porsche racing driver Bob Akin, the car was recently mechanically overhauled. This work included a complete engine rebuild from the bare bock, rebuild of the transmission with new synchros, rebuild of the carburetors, new fuel pumps, rebuilt water pump, new Ansa exhaust system and a rebuilt of the air conditioning unit. The car also has had the interior completely refinished in original tan leather with black Daytona inserts.
