big-phil Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 I think the guy said it was a GT 240. Its about the same size as my car, and sounded like a street bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lazeum Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 It looks like a Ferrari Daytona, that's worth some pennies I'm not a big fan of the shape; it looks ok but compared to other ferraris, I'll say so-so. V12 engine sounds amazing according to people that have seen the car running Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capt_furious Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 365 GTB/4, commonly called the Daytona Coupe, the 365 GTS/4 being the convertible we all know from Miami Vice(that was a replica, though). The chassis itself was used for 4 different models, some of them styled completely differently from the 365 GTB/GTS. Side note, the Campagnolo 5-spoke wheels were the inspiration for Globe Bathurst wheels in Australia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cygnusx1 Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 Nice cars. Even if they are over-priced. They were always ahead of their time, pushing the envelope. Ferrari's used to be the Hybridz's of the 40's, 50's, and 60's. Factory built, lightweight, with stupid big motors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAG58 Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 I've always thought the 275 GTB/4 was a prettier car Either way, the sound of a 60's Italian V12 at full song is something that will make your hair stand on end, and it will be something I will never forget.

big-phil Posted October 20, 2009 Author Share Posted October 20, 2009 The whole story is I was changing the oil in my big work truck when I heard it start in side of the car hauler. It sounded awesome. I almost drove by, but stopped to snap the pic. cygnusx1 thanks for the vids! I didn't really know what it was until I saw the Ferrari name on the back.

zgeezer Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 I've always thought the 275 GTB/4 was a prettier car Either way, the sound of a 60's Italian V12 at full song is something that will make your hair stand on end, and it will be something I will never forget. I attended a small, but very pricey car show at Palm Springs a couple of years ago. On display and, guarded by off duty Marines from 29 Palms was an early Ferrari billed as the first Ferrari sold in the US. Worth "millions". This car is a black sheep of the Ferrari clan because its paternity is not all that clear. Appears Enzo was hard up for cash and sold this vehicle to an american for "lots a bux", but shipped a well used race car with a paint job to the buyer as a new car. Or so the story goes. Here's the view from behind the steering wheel. Ferrari's are nice, but I'm really partial to "D" Jags with a racing backgound. I think this may have been raced by Lister. If not, still a very nice companion for anyone's hybridz. Everyone knows that with megabux Ford designed the GT40 to take on and whip Ferrari. They did, but Ford was not the first. Plain old California hot rodders [Ak Miller, I believe], build a roadster and whupped Eyte tail all over Mexico around 1952 in this car. I don't recall the engine, but, for sure, it was old fashioned pushrod, rocker armed, American iron [i would like to say Oldsmobile Rocket 88-green in color]. No, this grunter didn't scream: it just got the job done at about 1% of the cost of the Ferrari. The grill reminds me of my neighbors' hybrid pit bu.... pardon me, American Staffordshire "Terrerors": sort of ugly, but it grows on you. Now, the best is saved for last. I think this may be a clone of the real thing, but it was done beautifully and this one I'd take. If you look over the roof of the Z to the last car in the line, you will see the roof of a 1952 Mexican Road Race Lincoln.... also a winner. g Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAG58 Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 Well the bay should have looked like this... and yes it's that beautiful. And to geezer, My old man was heavily into D/E types, and I have a bit of a thing for them as well, gorgeous car. I think my dad even has a set of D-type cams and triple SU's somewhere...
