In the rarified world of classic Ferrari collecting, the 1968 365 GTB/4 Daytona represents more than just an automobile—it’s a pivotal moment in automotive history. As the first production year of this legendary model, these cars embody a transformative period in Ferrari’s grand touring lineage, bridging the gap between racing heritage and luxury performance. 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.

“Excellent and professional. Alex is a man of his word, I thought the offer was fair and he made everything easy. There are not many people or companies that have the dignity, respect and integrity like Alex. I appreciate working with you and thank you so much for everything you had done.”
“Wonderful experience!”
“This was a seamless transaction. Couldn’t have been more efficient. And I feel better knowing my fathers classic car is in good hands and will find a new home for many new adventures.”
“I was very pleased with the way my transaction was handled….money was wired quickly and Alex made sure that all the details were resolved. The service that transported the Ferrari Testarossa was very professional.Thank you.”
“I would definitely recommend Alex and his team, very friendly and professional.”
“In spring of 2019, a relative died and left behind a sad, neglected treasure: a 1961 Ferrari 250GTE. It had sat in his garage for decades. He had left it to a family friend, who was not in a position to restore the car to its former beauty. As executor of the estate, for months I was plagued by very rude, aggressive vultures who’d heard rumors about the car and wanted to “take it off my hands” before my relative’s cremains had even cooled off. Eventually, I learned about Alexmanos.com, almost on a whim, entered a query on their web site with a brief description of the car. I was contacted almost immediately by Alex. Alex was persistent and professional, but not aggressive or rude, in his negotiations to purchase the Ferrari, which he purchased for a very fair price. Having dealt with a couple of real jerks, this was refreshing. The electronic payment came through speedily, there was a truck to pick up the car within 2 days, and overall the staff was very helpful explaining what paperwork would be needed for a car that hadn’t been registered for so long. I’m glad to see there was a quick turnaround on getting the car reasonably cleaned up and on the market, on its way to someone who will love it and drive it as was meant to be. I’m glad to recommend, efficiency, professionalism, and great attitude.”
“This a very smooth and easy transaction. Special cars can be very hard too sell in the open market, however this was a painless way to make the transaction.”
“The experience was seamless! Alex and his folks made this simple and did exactly what they said they would do. Very honest. High integrity. Easy execution.”
“It has been a pleasure conducting business with you! The transaction was effortless and you made it so easy for the seller from start to finish. The funds cleared within 2 days, pretty wow! My husband and I will highly recommend your services!”
“I listed my car Ferrari on Craigslist and immediately Alex contacted me. I was weary at first but after looking at his online testimonials I realized he was legit. I accepted his offer, he wired me money, I sent paperwork, they picked up the car and the whole thing only took a few day’s start to finish. Alex and his staff are on top of everything. Prompt calls and emails. Smooth transaction without any problems! Will def do business with again! Hopefully buying a car from him this time! Thank you guys again!”
