    Just saw a K-Mart commercial advertising the Adam Levine collection (Levine is the lead singer of Maroon 5). At the end, he drives away in a car, but the scene is blurry. The car looks like a Daytona - can anyone confirm?

    of all the great mysteries in life, your love for Maroon 5 is towards the top.

    but yes, it appears to be a Daytona.

    He makes beautiful music, and I'm a lover at heart. I refuse to explain myself.

    Of course I need the VIN!

    Now that is a real Ferrari. Enzo always said a real Ferrari would have the Horse pulling from the front of the carriage. You should feel its speed, beauty and power.

    Modern Ferrari's simply are not as special.

    Cue the Mayors thread.

    Has the front of this Daytona been painted silver to mimic the look of the early plexiglass cars?

    I knew it!!! I was head-to-head with him for the Sexiest Man Alive title -- now I realize it was the GTC versus the GT that put him ahead. I knew something was up when I ran to the newsstand and my picture wasn't on the cover. At first I thought it was a typo, but now I realize it was the dreaded back seat handicap rearing its ugly head.

    Ed, can you tell me how you know it's a Euro car? Besides the lack of side marker lights. I only ask because I want to identify this car, and knowing with certainty if it's a Euro or US car will help me narrow it down (unless some knight in shining armor comes along with the serial number).

    Would the single backup light not imply that this might be a U.S.-market car?

    That's a great question - someone more Daytonacentric than myself will need to chime in for that one.

    late euro daytonas had a center backup light.
    but, after looking at the pix again, i noticed rubber donuts holding the exhaust, so this probably is a modified usa car.

    Not necessarily, UK cars had the twin reversing lights to the end of production. I believe Italian and French market cars did get centre reversing lights though.

    My initial thought was that it was a Euro car, but am now also inclined to think this is US car that's had the side marker lights removed.
