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.

“Very professional and helpful in making a smooth transaction. Followed through with everything they said they would.”
“Honestly, I could not have asked for a better selling experience with Alex for my Ferrari 400I. The transaction was fair, honest, courteous, responsive and thorough. Whenever I had a question, Alex or his associates got back to me quickly. I was relieved that there was no high pressure tactics and all of my phone and email communications received from Alex and his associates were courteous, professional and prompt. Arrangements for transporting both documents to me via Fed Ex and for transporting the car were handled efficiently and according to the promised schedule. I am the director of our local car club and will be recommending Alex to all of our members.”
“Very easy to do business. Very quick responses to questions. After the final agreement to sell, very quick and complete process over email, including bill of sale, power of attorney, title transfer, mailing instructions, transport arrangements, and complete follow up calls. Could not have been easier. The entire process from start to finish was three days.”
“Dealing with both Alex and Allison was an easy and seamless transaction. We quickly came to terms on the selling price, money was quickly sent, and the vehicle was soon scheduled for pickup. They have perfected the art of buying or selling a collector vehicle.”
“Alex was very professional, very responsive and fair in his price.”
“I called Alex to sell my Ferrari. We agreed on price and within a couple of hours the funds where in my account!!! I was contacted by the trucking company the same day and my car was picked up with no issues. The communication was awesome with Alex and the trucking company. Easiest business deal ever!”
“Outstanding customer service, I sold my Ferrari (a car I had owned for over 20 years) to Alex Manos. The process was straightforward and professional from first contact via the website form to agreeing upon a fair price and coordinating the details. I received an electronic deposit for the full price of the vehicle in a matter of hours and the shipping company handled the transport. Thanks Alex Manos for your honesty and professionalism in the process of buying my Ferrari! If you are considering the sale of your baby, I would definitely recommend going with Alex Manos.”
“From the initial contact Alex indicated he was a serious buyer of my cars and I indicated that I was a serious seller, obviously at the right price. He was very diligent in following up and confirmed to me that he was indeed serious about buying my 1962 Twin Grill Porsche Roadster and 1972 Dino 246 GT. We arranged a meeting, he was on time, and after a thorough inspection of the cars to validate that what I had represented to him was true, we agreed a price and the deal was done. We promptly went to the bank, the funds were transferred to me and the cars were speedily removed. I rate the convenience and the honesty of Alex and his firm very highly and would not hesitate to recommend him as a serious buyer of classic cars to my closest friends.”
“Thank you Alex and Team, you made my transaction smooth and effortless. The real Gem here is a man and company true to their word! That is Priceless and a true rarity!!! Thank You.”
“A person can’t help but be a tad bit skeptical that Alex will wire transfer payment and schedule shipping, keeping you the seller in the loop at all times. I cannot praise Alex and his staff enough on the ease and precision thru the process! Alex does exactly what he says. He will PROMPTLY wire transfer payment within hours. After you verify receipt of payment, simply overnight the title and bill of sale. He will arrange transport. Transport will contact you, and the driver will stay in contact with you while being polite and courteous. He will make the process EASY. Thank you Alex and crew for a seamless and clearly well-oiled system that is a testament to the value you place on the seller.”
