The acceleration figure from a standing start to 60 MPH wasn't terribly fast (IIRC, around 7 sec), but the report mentioned that they didn't abuse the clutch, which in Ferraris were not known to stand for abuse. The time to 100 MPH was much better----about 12 sec. That was very impressive back then. Top speed was even more so: 173 MPH, which set a record for a production car that stood for a couple of decades. \n\n- R&T concluded that the Daytona was best for Autostrada work at high speed, and not for stoplight drag competitions. I have been around Mosport in one, and the steering is quite heavy until you get up to speed, then it becomes more manageable. There was no power steering. R&T also commented that these were quite heavy even for a GT car---about 3,600 pounds, and with wide (for the time) XWX Michelins, the car takes some muscle to turn at low speeds. The smooth, skinny steering wheel doesn't give the best grip either.\n\n- I was offered a very nice Daytona with no needs back in the mid-70s for $20K, which was around the list price a few years earlier. Big mistake not to buy it. They never really depreciated much if in good condition with reasonable miles, despite a big production run (for Ferrari) of 1200 coupes. \n\n- Some nice Daytonas sold at auction a few years ago for around a $million, but as with many other special cars, prices have fallen back lately. One source says that the median price paid at recent auctions for Daytonas in excellent condition has been about $715.000.", "likes": 19, "timestamp": 1520464954, "type": "comment"}, {"id": 2068700, "authorName": "Two0FourTarga", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/two0fourtarga/", "bidAmount": 0, "content": "Anyone know off hand what the record amount for a sale on BAT is?

The Daytona was owned at the time by Joe Crevier...after he got it back from the movie and they fixed the (fairly light, best I recall) damage they did to it, he got the vanity plate \"GUMBALL.\" Joe was a bigwig in the FOC LA chapter. Later after a divorce and some sort of gllitch I heard the gov't (but who?) was after the car. At least that was a rumor floating around.\r\nI have always thought of the Daytona as \"the world's fastest lumber truck.\" The electric low speed steering boost on this one is not the world's craziest idea. I babysat one for a friend for a week. I picked it up at Ferrari of Los Gatos where he had it up for sale, so I could run it for him in an FOC event the next weekend.\r\nI had it behind a high fence at my house, but would find any excuse to drive it during that week. When I parked it to run an errand at the local Longs Drugs in San Carlos (now CVS) there were no cars beside me, but two were there when I got out. I had to wait for one to move so I could back the car out while turning the wheel. \r\nThis car was Enzo's way of thumbing his nose at the restrictive US regs. It was clocked with Bill Harrah driving by R&T at something like 176, a record for back then. \r\nThe steering at any speed below 50 or so is, to put it politely, heavy. The FOC event was a run down Skyline Drive on the SF Peninsula, starting at San Mateo and going all the way down through Saratoga Gap. By the time we got there my arms ached and I had worked up both a thirst and a sweat.\r\nIt is not only the steering. Two of the three pedals work really well...it will stop as fast as it accelerates, and in a perfectly controlled threshold braking straight line.\r\nBut the clutch pedal takes a faif amount of force, and there is a point where the term might be (though perhaps technically wrong)...\"it goes over center\" and makes it a bit challening to learn how to modulate.\r\nThis is a GT with the emphasis on \"Grand.\" It is a magnificent beast, but it is not a sports car. It \"gets happy\" at about 90, well above legal speed limits. My friend was driving his 275GTS, a much more nimble ride. John drove both cars in FOC events at Laguna and there was a reason he was selling the 365 as it was not well suited for that track.\r\nI also watched a guy with a real 365GTS wipe off both sides of the car at the bridge over the V&T tracks at the end ot the VIrginia CIty Hillclimb course. A Daytona does not like to be thrown around. Though the course is not all that tight there are some places which can bite, and the change in pavement material as you hit the bridge can be one of them.\r\nThe 365GTB is a grand car, and for the right road it is a real joy to drive.

Hard to see in these photos, but in many Ferrari 2 cam models the throttle linkage runs right down the left main cam cover (there is a secondary one for the timing chain).

It's been a long time since Ice looked under the hood of a Daytona, but the linkage has to go somewhere and I would guess between the two cam covers on this 4 cam motor.

These days they are all expensive Italian sportscars that sell for big money at auctions or on BAT, but there are differences.\n\nHaving owned a 330 GTC and sold it by mistake years ago, that was a lovely coupe, and easy to drive if you didn't mind a metal shift lever working within a metal shift grate. You didn't miss power steering, it had good A/C for a '60s European car, and it wasn't difficult to work on. I was able to do all maintenance and light repairs because the design and construction were conventional in almost every way. It just had more cylinders, carbs, and oil filters than most cars had. \n\nThe 365 GTC/4 could carry 2 small children or some luggage on the rear seats, had excellent A/C, and was comfortable to drive or ride in. But with 4 cams and all those horizontal Webers mounted on top it wasn't easy to work on. Also, some would say the body design was not exactly Ferrari-curvaceous.\n\nThe Daytona has been described as a true man's car, and it sure is. Big (for a sportscar), heavy, and very powerful, it attracts attention wherever it goes. For many potential owners it probably needs power steering, but that might be a good thing because that means it probably separates the men from the boys. \n\nNo slight intended there to anyone. The car was built before even ABS came into general use, let alone stability control, and it's so powerful, with what today would be described as narrow tires, that it's not difficult to get into real trouble driving one. \n\nI like that this car is not red----although lots of great Ferraris have been painted red, like most of the great sports racing cars of the '50s and '60s.

Ease of parallel parking a surprisingly big factor for some of us when evaluating a classic supercar (seriously??? I\u2019ve never found it to be a big problem, and I\u2019ve put over 20,000 miles on ours).\r\n\r\n2. It really is the last road car Ferrari built that could be driven straight to the track and raced (lots of stories of N.A.R.T. and others racing 24 hours with the radio still installed and working). Popularity & success in competition was due in large part to this model\u2019s durability (back in those days, most cars broke during a 24 hr race--these didn\u2019t). \r\n\r\n3. As wonderful as cars like a 250 GTO or 2-cam 275 GTB may be, these later 4-cam engines were a big step forward in engineering compared to the earlier Colombo-series 2-cam engines. The machine shop re-doing our Daytona engine had a similarly-stripped 250 block (from a Lusso I think?) and the casting and machining on the Daytona block looked positively space-age compared to the much rougher/simpler 250, despite only 5 years or so between their production. *I think* the tipo 251 engine (365 GTB/4) is closer to the 4-cam engines in racecars like the 330P-series prototypes. When owners of the mighty 512M or 512S want a replacement engine, they use a Daytona.\r\n\r\n4. The engine itself is incredibly durable. Only two weaknesses: the original sodium-filled valves may snap in half at any point, new or old, (doesn\u2019t matter if you\u2019re running at the redline or idling). And those O-rings that seal the timing chain from the camshafts/valvecovers/heads. They fail over time, and only way to properly replace is take the whole engine apart. When they go, oil will start leaking into the valley between the cams. By the time we decided to do the rebuild, there would be half a quart sloshing in there after a good drive...which wasn't such a problem since the engine still had...13 and-a-half quarts left. Yes, it's a 14 quart dry-sump system. \r\n\r\n5. From the factory the engines are rated at 352 hp. When you rebuild them you can get 400 with some better valve springs and a few other tweaks. The factory redline is 7,700 rpm. Our engine builder said we can take it over 8,000 without worries. There aren\u2019t many engines from the 60\u2019s or 70\u2019s (or 80\u2019s or 90\u2019s) that can do that and make that kind of power. And do it reliably. That fact ALONE makes this car very special.\r\n\r\n6. And the engine is USABLE. The six carbs feel as smooth and flexible as any fuel-injection system (except they do stumble a bit if you try to dump the throttle). Have driven our car up over 7,000 feet elevation and couldn\u2019t feel a drop-off in performance. \r\n\r\n7. And it's \"long-legged.\" Another reason for its competition success, and this aura it retains from its time as \"fastest car you could buy.\" I had it up to 140 and still had almost half of the throttle travel to go--I pushed down and the car SURGED forward, I was at 150 and gaining...that was plenty for me, and I backed out of it. \r\n\r\nTry that in a 330GTC.", "likes": 18, "timestamp": 1520608005, "type": "comment"}, {"id": 2072507, "authorName": "scheherazade", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/scheherazade/", "bidAmount": 0, "content": "@Tessmar...ooops, i forgot the linkage cable triangular stand, mounted on the left cam cover of the GTC.

Engine maintenance on all of them is straightforward and time-consuming. The Webbers, once set up, are quite stable if you can resist the temptation to tinker. Ignition, on the other hand, can be challenging. There are 2 distributors, each with 2 sets of points. The points in each distributor must be timed as closely to 180 degrees apart as possible, then the distributors must be timed to each other as accurately as possible. I figured out a work-around for the points by using a card from the back of a note pad. First draw a straight line on it, then use a compass to draw a circle the diameter of the distributor top with center on the line. Then cut out the circle and put a little notch in it so the whole thing fits over the distributor (do not have to index the card to the distributor in any particular location). Make a pointer from some mechanics wire and attach to the distributor shaft in place of the rotor then, using a test lead, a continuity tester and a small (or big, if you want) 6 or 12 volt battery, and you have your indicator. Worked like a champ on all those cars. \n\nAs far as getting the cam covers off, I never had that much trouble, maybe because I didn\u2019t let them stay in place long enough to get stuck. Loosen the distributor mounting bolts, the nuts on the timing chain covers, and you can then remove the cam covers, paying attention as already mentioned to the throttle linkage. To put them back on and deal with the dreaded timing cover o-rings, use a little piece of shim stock and a litttle dab of engine oil and everything will go back in place nicely. The 2-cam cars have adjusting screws and jam nuts that require frequent adjustment, but the 4-cam cars use shim pads and tend to be quite stable. \n\nThese are lovely cars, well worth the time and attention to get and keep them running right, when they will reward you by generating constant stupid-looking grins on your face every time you drive them. I still have the 2+2, surely wish I hadn\u2019t sold any of the rest of them, but they were just used cars then. Biggest coulda-woulda-shoulda was passing up a 250 GTO for $3500 when I bought the GTC instead for $9500, but the GTC had a radio, a heater, and air conditioning which worked great in temps below about 80 degrees, so I bought that instead.

Off we went, top down, through the driveup at BK. Daytonas have factory headers, and the sound of all those pipes was intoxicating. Took the long way home, and no one complained that their burgers were a bit on the tepid side.. The same collection had a 288 GTO, maintained at the same shop, and I had had rides in both. The 288 was faster, I think, but the Daytona FELT faster- kind of like the difference between a P51 and a Tomcat might be. One Ferrari has been enough for me, through my collecting years, but if a Daytona were affordable, I'd sure be tempted.

At a Cars and Coffee, people would be drooling over it, but it would not be accepted to a major concours. There was confusion about the originality of the engine which was cleared up before the auction took place but the color change was only announced halfway through the bidding process. The accompanying Massini report was available to anyone and it clearly stated the original color was blue and it was a Euro car. It was an \"A' model which may or not be a big thing to some people. It was classic Ferrari red/black; the paint was excellent; the interior mostly original; the Chromodoras had been refinished, the additional Borranis were excellent and had tires mounted so were not new as stated; it started immediately; synchros were very good, displayed 45k km (about 27k miles), etc, etc. If one were looking for a driver, it was a nice car, IMO.\r\nHere's where BaT makes sense. The car hammered sold at $560k. After deducting 10% commission, the seller receives a check for $504k. The buyer wrote a check for $621k (12% on the first $250k, 10% thereafter).

I'd like to expand on this a bit, bear with me, and have a suggestion for BaT that could give them a leg up on auction houses in this regard.\r\n\r\nIndeed, a big collector doing multiple buys getting \"behind the ropes\" at an auction achieves this goal. But the buyer had better be an expert in the (possibly very different) cars he/she is bidding on, or pay to bring experts with him/her. Also, I\u2019m not sure driving the cars is permitted, not many people make multiple buys, and the \"right\" car may not be at the auction.\r\n\r\nBaT is \u201cdemocratizing\u201d this process, and making it better by exposing more cars to more buyers without the high costs and constraints of the auction house model. But BaT\u2019s globally-located cars and globally-located bidders can make pre-bid inspections challenging logistically (and also financially for lower-cost value listings).\r\n\r\nThe suggestion: BaT does have access to a large repository of knowledge, all around the world, in just about every make and model\u2026 and that is the subset of commenters that are marque experts. Just read the comments and you know virtually everything that\u2019s correct or incorrect about a car. BaT maybe can leverage this expertise for the benefit if itself and the marque experts. How great would it be if you live in England, are looking to buy a C2 Corvette, an appealing one surfaces in California on BaT, and you know there\u2019s a fellow BaT fan and Corvette expert within 50 miles of the seller that is willing to go take a look for you? BaT could build a private database of experts by marque and by location (those that wish to sign up, of course), and provide names to bidders interested in this service. The bidder would then choose and discuss with the expert the extent of initial assessment desired, agree on a price, and proceed. Examples might be checking for part number stampings, witnessing a cold start, probing common rust-prone areas, checking for signs of accident damage, examining documentation, taking/sending specific pictures requested by bidder, and taking a test drive. It would be understood that experts are not acting as professional technicians or appraisers, and are providing opinions only, not guarantees. With this initial knowledge, the bidder can bid, walk, or pursue a deeper PPI and/or personally go see the car. \r\n\r\nYeah, there are a dozen reasons this might not work, and there would be a lot of details to sort out. Some level of vetting would be needed for experts to get their names on the list. Services would have to be \u201cas available\u201d because experts would do this in their \u201cfree time\u201d and in many cases there may not be one in reasonable proximity. But there definitely is a lot of valuable knowledge in the BaT community that I think can be leveraged beyond what is offered up in comments. I\u2019d be willing to provide this service for several marques in my region that I know well.
