That's incorrect. A lot of late Daytonas received Bosch antennas. You can usually seem them in groups around VINs. My guess is that they ran out from time to time and sent somehow down to the store to get some. Steve
Possibly, but if a Voxon 8 track is installed, I'd think a Voxon antenna would match quite nicely. Unless in possession of the 'build sheet', tough to know what was installed. Regards, Alberto
You would think. But, that is only if they had one on hand. Ferrari was not going to stop waiting for an antenna. One of the stories I've been told and when a mechanic went to foreman/supervisor and said he needed some hardware for the Dino (I guess they had run out of the "correct" nuts & bolts), the guy grabbed a hand fill of hardware from somewhere and handed them to the mechanic and said these are the correct nuts & bolts for the car. In other words, they were not going to hold up delivering cars over such items. We've all seen USA Daytonas with European steering wheels (lots of them in fact) and, like the Antenna story above, I've noticed they tend to be in groupings of VINs (but, not always). A build sheet listing what antenna was installed? In some of the Build Sheets I've seen for some late Daytonas they were lucky to get the engine number, gearbox number, etc., if the build sheet existed at all. I've seen one pages, no pages and some early ones with the usual four-five page deal. They were all over the map. Steve
My understanding is that build sheets were discontinued in the middle of the Daytona run. As steve said they did well to get the big stuff right; I never saw one that covered anything except mechanicals- the cover sheet woild state the body type although I did see a GTS sheet labeled as Scaglitti Berlinetta I lived in Italy in the late 70s early 80s and our firm was the auditors for Fiat who arranged an introduction for me at Ferrari. upon my visit Brenda Vernor told me that there was no sheet for my 14729 but she produced them for my earlier cars
There are a few Autovox SA-86 for sale on the italian ebay. These are period correct for the Daytona. The asking price is Euro 78 by the first seller and Euro 100 by the second. The latter shows the original box and I would expect the button to be included. http://www.ebay.it/itm/ANTENNA-ELETTRICA-AUTOVOX-SA-86-NUOVA-EPOCA-VINTAGE/110288928030?rd=1&ssPageName=mem_guide:1&ih=001&category=33639&cmd=ViewItem http://www.ebay.it/itm/ANTENNA-ELETTRICA-AUTOVOX-ANNI-60-70-NUOVA-DI-MAGAZZINO/380531430613?rd=1&ssPageName=mem_guide:3&ih=025&category=147470&cmd=ViewItem
Did Brenda Vernor ever introduce you to Gabriella Coltrin when you were over there? She would be about 77 now! CH
Found this thread and have a question: Did the factory cut holes in all Daytonas for the Antenna placement? I've seen a few without an antenna, mine being one of them (Voxon 8 Track installed), and now this one being offered at RM Sothebys which is Classiche certified. How did this happen? https://rmsothebys.com/auctions/ml25/lots/r0032-1972-ferrari-365-gtb4-daytona-berlinetta-by-scaglietti/ Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
Perhaps the antenna hole was just filled in during repaint ? Easy enough to physically check. As for the certification, I think by now it’s widely known that a car can have a lot of non-OEM details & features (like this one) and still be eligible for a Red Book, so nothing surprising.
There are no signs of a hole filled nor any repair indicating a hold was there, no seams, no filler, nothing. My main question is: Who cut the holes in the first place, Scaglietti or Ferrari? Was every Daytona delivered from Scaglietti with the hole already cut?
My "suggestion" was referring to the car in the auction listing and if yours is also, I take it you've inspected it yourself. Sorry, I wasn't there when every Daytonas was manufactured or delivered, so unable to offer definitive answers.
@Marcel Massini Any information as to if Scaglietti cut holes for the antenna for the 365 GTB/4 in every body delivered to the factory?
