Description
Ferrari Daytona chassis number 16927 is a wonderful example of the Ferrari 365 GTB/ 4. This LHD model was built to European specifications. Commissioned by the legendary Belgian importer Jacques Swaters of Garage Francorchamps. Its provenance and original configuration make it a noteworthy piece in Ferrari’s storied lineage.
The Daytona's all alloy, four cam, V12 engine displaced 4, 390cc and produced its maximum output of 352bhp at 7, 500rpm, with 318lb/ ft of torque available at 5, 500 revs. Dry-sump lubrication enabled it to be installed low in the oval-tube chassis, while shifting the gearbox to the rear in the form of a five speed transaxle meant 50/ 50 weight distribution could be achieved. This engine has been uprated along the lines of the Group 4 Le Mans spec engine to output 405hp.
The car is metallic blue with beige/ black leather Daytona interior, and is on Cromodora aluminium alloy wheels. The Daytona is fitted with factory air conditioning.
It has recently received a cosmetic reconditioning of its exterior, interior, engine compartment, and undercarriage. Accompanying documentation consists of the aforementioned Massini Report; Ferrari Classiche certification confirming the car's originality (chassis/ engine/ body).
