For owners contemplating sale, understanding the nuanced market for these exceptional machines is crucial.
Best known as the Ferrari Daytona, a nickname that came after the cars legendary 1-2-3 finish in the 1968 Daytona 24 Hours, the Ferrari 365 GTB/4 was a grand touring automobile that made its debut at the 1968 Paris Auto Show. The Daytona was an impressive and audacious vehicle, built for speed and endurance. Although Pininfarina designed the body (as with many classic Ferrari road cars), the sharp edged style of the Daytona gave it a more Lamborghini-like style according to car enthusiasts. The 1968 Ferrari 365 GTB/4 was powered by the 4.4-L DOHC V12 engine which was capable of delivering a maximum power of 352 hp at 7,600 rpm. It had a top speed of 174 mph and an initial acceleration of 0 to 60 mph in just 5.4 seconds. In its day, the Daytona was known for sustained high-speed travel, which made it the perfect road car for long distance driving.
The 1968 Ferrari 365 GTB/4 was one of the most popular sports car of its generation, thanks to its impressive performance and modern design. The popularity of the Daytona has not diminished over time, and this Ferrari model is still tops the best classic cars lists nowadays. Featured in many magazines, critics always have something nice to say about the Daytona. For example, the car was voted the top sports car of the 1970s by the Sports Car International magazine in 2004. It also came second on the list of the “Top of Greatest Ferraris of all time” by the Motor Trends Classic magazine. On top of being an enjoyable driving vehicle, many believe that the Daytona is a great investment.
