Official Daytona Pics

At least it is still a real Ferrari Daytona, conversion or not.

If that was his or he ever drove one, I can’t help but wonder whether he complained about the steering being too hard/heavy ?

 

It depends, if he was wearing the leather pants that took him one hour to put on...

 

See post #512 and the one aabove here. Daytona #12827 was owned by Jack Bruce, not Robert Plant.

 

Plant had a DB5...never had a Daytona.
(DB5's also don't have power steering, though the limp-wristed can add modern electric units to both these days.)
That is Bruce's car (also a member of Cream).

 

Green is the new red.

I couldn't agree more. My car (albeit not a Daytona) is the same color. Strange for me to be "on trend" though! Lovely car.

 

Red, is tradition. Ferrari and at Alfa. Over 50% of their cars were sold red.

Some cars of these 2 brands could NEVER be repainted, except for David Piper, cars. or Ec. F.champs. but that is it.
Very few of the era were nothing but red, except some 'speciali'.

It may have been overextended in the 're-sell me red' of the 80's or so, but it is still a classic.

The 'Kitchen shades' of the 60s and 70s, have become desirable again, and how true, tastes do change.

Sleeping for now — but spring in the NE USA is just around the corner.

That Toyota 2000 GT isn't too shabby either.

 

Can someone please confirm VIN on this vehicle. Just checking if it was my father's old car from the 70's.

Barchettacc states 14857 was with Joe Macari in 2016 in gunmetal/red so your hunch is probably correct.

 

Macari got 14857 in August 2012 at the Mecum sale in Monterey. Then restored and repainted it. Then sold to Munich, Germany, mid-2022 re-sold to another German. It was used in the September 2022 Cavalcade Classiche in the Dolomites, Italy.

Why wouldn't they put the original amber Daytona side lights back on? Why are they half white? Plus the conv. Top cover use to be black.

Side lights: German laws.
