    I am not sure if you are joking or not. From the photo, it looks like a real Daytona Berlinetta, not one repro bodies on a Datusn chassis.

    Why does your friend's car have a bunch of lights/blinkers at the back that the car in the picture the OP posted does not? Is it a difference between the US and Euro models?

    US DOT regulations. Made the US spec Dino look like crap too. And then there were the primitive emmission controls that made them run again, like crap... Just be thankful that the Daytona didn't live long enough to be stuck with US spec 5mph bumpers.

    Indeed. If you look at Motorcar Gallery's website, they have 2 Daytonas, 1 U.S. with all the lights at the rear, 1 Euro without.

    Daniel- When we imported my Daytona in 1978, we had to add all the side markers and reflectors you see. We used ones which did not require cutting rectangualar holes in the body, however, and were a bit more subtle. Sometimes it looked like Ferrari was punishing the Americans for our, to them, silly regulations. You should have see one of the proposals for meeting US headlight standards before settling on the retractable headlights. It consisted of four open headlights more or less stuck in the front of the knife-edge. Very unattractive. Someone may have that photo lying around. It was in Roush's Daytona book, long since sold by me.
