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.

“Alex is a pleasure to work with. He is very personable and knowledgeable about Ferrari 308 GT’s, so we could have a great conversation about my car’s status, quickly going over the positives and the things that could be improved. I already had private buyer offers, but Alex beat them and after sending quick pictures we had a deal and a signed contract. This was the eve of July 4, 2021. The payment was in my bank the day banks opened after our sacred Independence Day. His organization is top notch and I highly recommend. I would be happy to do business with Alex again.”
“Alex Manos is a very professional car dealer, with great integrity, a very expedient transaction experience. Alex staff is very accommodating and their response is within the hour. Our agreed price was sent to my account promptly after we had agreed on the price. I highly recommend Alex, if you were interested to sell your exotic car.”
“Alex and his team did a great job when we decided to sell our Ferrari. The process was very simple and they were very thorough to make things happen quickly I highly recommend Alex and his team!”
“As conservator of my Dad’s estate we needed to sell his 1988 Ferrari Testarossa and decided to give Alex Manos and the Beverly Hill Car Club a try. The Ferrari was located in another state from where I lived so it was not practical for me to get the car cleaned up, running and sell it myself. So I just texted pictures of the Ferrari to the Beverly Hills Car Club and received an offer in about four hours. The offer was a fair and reasonable offer so we signed an “as is” sales agreement and the money was wired to my Dad’s bank account the next day. Alex Manos has separate employees that assist with the negotiation, the title transfer and the transportation to pick-up your vehicle. The whole transaction went so smoothly that I think you should consider contacting Alex Manos and the Beverly Hills Car Club when you decide it’s time to sell your European Classic.”
“Transaction was smooth and easy, Alex instilled a strong feeling of confidence through our phone calls and email communications. Transfer was timely, and pick-up & transportation were handled professionally.”
“I contacted Alex about my Ferrari 308 which had been in long term storage. I read positive reviews of his business online. Alex immediately responded with interest. We had a brief and easy sales negotiation. Alex had a bank transfer to my account and the funds were deposited overnight. His entire team was easy to work with for paperwork. If you are in the market to sell your classic, I highly recommend you contact Alex.”
“Very responsive and transparent.”
“Very professional !!!!!!!!!!!!”
“They were so efficient in every way and I couldn’t believe that they paid for my Ferrari in advance without seeing or driving my baby!”
“Spoke with Alex about my baby (1990 Ferrari) he was just the very best. Counseled me on my car and value and within a day we had an agreement. The funds were transferred as agreed. The gentleman he sent to pick up the car was as gracious as Alex. Can’t say enough positive about Alex.”
