1970 Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Daytona Berlinetta by Scaglietti will be featured at RM Sotheby’s upcoming sale, “Essen 2019” that will take place on April 11-12, 2019, in Essen, Germany. The pre-auction estimate of this car is €550.000 - €650.000 and it will be presented in lot 268 at the auction. “Ferrari’s unveiling of the 365 GTB/4 Berlinetta at the 1968 Paris Salon ushered in a new era of design and cutting-edge performance for the marque, as well as the automotive industry itself. Rather than opt for a mid-engined car like the Lamborghini Miura P400, Ferrari proclaimed that it's tried-and-true, front-engined V-12 platform could easily compete and outpace the Miura. Quickly nicknamed ‘Daytona’ by the press and other automotive enthusiasts in celebration of Ferrari’s incredible 1-2-3 finish at the 1967 24 Hours of Daytona, the road-going 365 GTB/4 could easily live up to its name. With 352 bhp on tap, it could sprint to 100 km/h in 5.5 seconds, leading toward a top speed of 280 km/h. This achievement crowned the Daytona as the world’s fastest production car, beating the Miura P400 by roughly 5 km/h,” states the auction house. Some of the other close details of this car are that it is a desirable European example with Plexiglas nose and it is equipped with factory air conditioning. The present car retains its original engine and its recent service work is done by Joe Macari. RM Sotheby’s adds, “Registered under registration no. PG 157308, the car remained in Italy until at least 1973 prior to moving to Milan. At some point thereafter, it was exported to the US and noted as being in the ownership of Avi R. Brand of Woodbury, New York, a small town north of New York City by 1979. In 1982, it was sold to an undisclosed owner who offered the car for sale with Graham Cox, Hallandale, Florida, and Motorcars International of Springfield, Missouri, in 1994. Ferrari Market Letter ads described it as ‘365 GTB/4, S/N 13183 (1970 Euro prod.). Red with tan interior. Plexiglass nose, Borrani wire wheels, factory a/c. Same owner since 1982. 38,409 miles. Extremely nice and original. Don’t miss this one.’ Another Ferrari Market Letter ad shows the car offered in California in April/May 1995; it was then sold to a collector in Japan later that year. Boasting an older restoration, the car received a recent cosmetic freshening and is presented today in its as-delivered color combination.” https://www.blouinartinfo.com/ Founder: Louise Blouin Read more
