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.

“Sold one of my Ferrari 308 a few years ago. Listed it on a Ferrari enthusiast website, and it was the worst experience I have ever had in selling a vehicle. When it was time to sell this last Ferrari, I decided to get in touch with Alex, who called me immediately. Conversation was easy-going and very cordial. Alex requested photos which I sent , and within 24 hours had a very fair offer. Sure, I could have sold it on my own but the convenience of not dealing with the rude inquiries, bottom feeders, Individuals thinking they’re an expert and trying to beat down the condition of the car was just not worth the hassle. I am extremely happy with how easy this whole process was. Highly recommend contacting Alex to anyone looking to sell their exotic or classic vehicle. Thanks again Alex!”
“Alex and his team are consummate professionals and have elevated the buying and selling of classic cars to an art form. Absolutely the smoothest transaction possible with excellent communication and attention to detail. As an example of attention to small details that make things go smoothly: I was given, in advance, the cell phone number of the tow truck driver and a time when I could expect a call. As somebody who mercilessly screens incoming calls, having the number ahead of time ensured I actually answered. 10/10 would do business again.”
