Description

<p>The Ferrari 365 GTB/4 was the immediate descendant for the much revered 275 GTB/4 and was first shown at the Paris motor show, 1968. The Daytona nickname was supposedly invented by Ferrari aficionados and affiliates of the media in acknowledgment of the factory&rsquo;s unforgettable 1-2-3 triumph in the 1967 Daytona 24-hour edition. Alternatively, the story is that Ferrari had originally planned to employ the Daytona name, but changed their mind when news of the story leaked prior to the model&rsquo;s reveal.</p> <p>The Tipo 251 engine was an improvement of the DOHC V12 of the 275 GTB/4, and at 4,390cc was roughly 33% larger in capacity. Six twin-choke Weber carburettors fed fuel to the engine, enabling it to produce 352bhp at 7,500rpm; enough to propel the 1,280kg machine to 60mph in under 5.5 seconds and on to a top speed of around 174mph, with a five-speed transaxle powering the rear wheels.</p> <p>Manufacture ran from 1968 to 1976, throughout which time a total of 1,406 examples are understood to have been built &ndash; 1,269 road-going Coupes and 122 official Spiders. The LHD example we are offering for sale was completed in 1971 and delivered new to North America via Bill Harrah&rsquo;s Modern Classic Motors of Reno, Nevada.</p> <p>The car was purchased by the current owner out of Florida in 2014 and exported to England the following year. The car is finished in Rosso Chiaro over a Nero &amp; Rosso leather upholstery. Features include 15&Prime; alloy wheels, a quad-exit exhaust, pop-up headlights, air conditioning, power windows, and a Blaupunkt AM/FM radio. Service performed with Joe Macari Classics in August 2022 included the installation of new spark plugs as well as a carburettor tune and an oil change. The car sits today showing just under 27,000 miles on the odometer. Contact us now for more information or to arrange a viewing.</p>
