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.

“Dealing with Alex in selling my car was one of the easiest transactions in buying or selling a vehicle I have ever had. Alex and his entire team are extremely professional and a true pleasure to deal with. I recommend strongly to anyone buying or selling a vehicle to contact Alex Manos.”
“Fast easy transaction. Thank you!”
“There’s two words that describe this man. Class and Professionalism. This transaction could not have gone any smoother. For starters this guy answers the phone himself -no voicemails. If he’s out to a meeting, he’ll get back with you, he answers the phone. I spoke to him about what I had, he told me to send him pictures. And within minutes of looking at the pictures we agreed on a fair offer. After hanging up the phone, I kid you not, within two minutes his transport company called me to schedule the pick up the following morning -within about two hours of making the transaction. he sent me a picture of a cashiers check made out in my name. The pick up was easy breezy the transport guy had the paperwork to sign, gave me a cashiers check in my name and he picked up the car took all of five minutes. If you’re selling your exotic or luxury car this is the guy you want to choose. no drama, no stress. I don’t think across the whole United States or even throughout the World you can do an easier more hassle free transaction then with Alex Manos. he literally takes all the stress out of selling your car and he is a fair and honest person which is not easy to come by in the car industry. Ten Stars!!!!!!! “
“Very hassle free transaction. The funds for selling the car were available in a very short time and the transporter picked up the car in a minimum amount of time. Paperwork was a snap. The only complaint I have is that the selling price was somewhat less than I was hoping for but I understand the market is down and the car cannot command a high selling price. This was the third car I have sold to Alex and every transaction has gone without a hitch.”
“The whole experience start to finish was a pleasure. I had listed my car online with not much feedback, I decided to send a few pics to Alex. We agreed on a price bing boom bang, they sent check, sent truck to pick up and my Florida Ferrari is now in Southern California in a new home. Many thanks to Alex and his whole crew awesome job.”
“Once I decided to sell my Ferrari, the process was very quick and efficient. Everything I discussed with Alex in the initial conversation regarding payment and shipping was followed thorough in a very professional manner. It was hard selling the car after 18 years but the transaction was very smooth and I would recommend Alex to anyone.”
“I sold my Ferrari to Alex in a very comfortable and efficient manner. He quoted me a price, I said yes, and within 15 minutes the money was in my account. It was hard to believe that we could conduct such a transaction, so quickly and painlessly. Alex has assembled a cadre of people whose only goal is to help and make the deal equitably, and effortlessly, so all concerned are satisfied. I would endorse and recommend to anyone. You will not be disappointed.”
“I sold Alex a Ferrari 355 Spyder, the sale was seamless and rapid, and Alex delivered everything as promised. I would not hesitate to deal with Alex again. Gary Bobileff Bobileff Motorcar Company San Diego, Ca.”
“It was a clean and fast sale, and he had the money in my account the day before they picked up the car. He was very professional and nice. I would recommend him to anyone who needs to sell a car.”
“Alex Manos does what he says & says what he does. He is an honest professional and easy to work with. His asst Allison is caring, efficient & follows up on everything. It was a pleasure working with them. My 1985 Ferrari that I has since new has found a good home.”
