1970 FERRARI 365 GTB/4 DAYTONA "PLEXIGLASS" COACHWORK BY PININFARINA, BUILT BY SCAGLIETTI Chassis No. 13761 Engine No. 13761 Red Chiaro with black leather interior. Engine: V12, twin overhead camshafts per bank, two valves per cylinder, light alloy block 4,390cc; Gearbox: five speed manual, transaxle; Suspension: independent all round; Brakes: discs all round, power assisted. Left hand drive. To replace the long-running 250 GT series of cars, Enzo Ferrari in 1964 introduced his latest Berlinetta coupe, the 275 GTB, as a direct replacement for the 250 GT Lusso. The V12 engine now had a displacement of 3,285cc and all round independent suspension was used for the first time on a touring Ferrari, with a new five-speed transaxle gearbox which provided better weight distribution. By 1966 the first touring Ferrari to be powered by a four overhead camshaft engine was introduced, the 275 GTB/4, the engine being derived from the 275 and 330 P2 prototypes of the 1965 racing season. Even as this engine was being conceived Ferrari was thinking ahead - his plans were to build an even larger four-cam engine encased in a more purposeful Berlinetta coupe body. The prototype first appeared in 1967 and the new 365 GTB/4 was launched at the 1968 Paris Salon. The car was an immediate success, and the press adopted the nickname "Daytona" for this new Ferrari in honour of the marque's outright victory in the American 24-Hour race. Pininfarina had created a classical design which continued the traditional lines of the previous Berlinettas but was more aggressive and functional. The two-door, two-seater interior with its full set of instruments had a large glass area and a roof line that harmoniously joined the rear wings and tail. To offset this elegant Berlinetta shape new five-spoke alloy wheels were fitted which were inherited from the Formula 1 race cars, although Borrani wire-spoke wheels were available as an option. The Daytona was the most "macho" of all Ferraris, the last of the great front-engined Berlinettas which became an instant collector's classic even before production ceased. Few changes were made during its production run, the most significant being the adoption of retractrable headlight units in place of the plexiglass covers which were not homologated in the USA. This particular 365 GTB/4 is presently registered in France. It was sold new in France and has been maintained by the French Ferrari importer; relevant bills are available. The motor car is in good original condition, has the optional 9" rear wheels (rather than the standard 7½") and was repainted several years ago. It has had three recorded owners from new and has been in the present owner's possession since 1988. The indicated mileage of 41,81kms is believed to be genuine. The manuals and an almost complete tool kit are supplied.
