Best known as the Ferrari Daytona, a nickname that came after the cars legendary 1-2-3 finish in the 1968 Daytona 24 Hours, the Ferrari 365 GTB/4 was a grand touring automobile that made its debut at the 1968 Paris Auto Show. The Daytona was an impressive and audacious vehicle, built for speed and endurance. Although Pininfarina designed the body (as with many classic Ferrari road cars), the sharp edged style of the Daytona gave it a more Lamborghini-like style according to car enthusiasts. The 1968 Ferrari 365 GTB/4 was powered by the 4.4-L DOHC V12 engine which was capable of delivering a maximum power of 352 hp at 7,600 rpm. It had a top speed of 174 mph and an initial acceleration of 0 to 60 mph in just 5.4 seconds. In its day, the Daytona was known for sustained high-speed travel, which made it the perfect road car for long distance driving.
The 1968 Ferrari 365 GTB/4 was one of the most popular sports car of its generation, thanks to its impressive performance and modern design. The popularity of the Daytona has not diminished over time, and this Ferrari model is still tops the best classic cars lists nowadays. Featured in many magazines, critics always have something nice to say about the Daytona. For example, the car was voted the top sports car of the 1970s by the Sports Car International magazine in 2004. It also came second on the list of the “Top of Greatest Ferraris of all time” by the Motor Trends Classic magazine. On top of being an enjoyable driving vehicle, many believe that the Daytona is a great investment.

“It was a very easy transaction and a fair price!”

“Alpha was great to work with. Excellent communicator and very accommodating as far as requests. No pressure salesperson and 100% trustworthy. Would def recommend”

“Very knowledgeable. Good communication”

“Alpha was very helpful when I called. He did everything I needed and looked up information for me.”

“I had been searching for a buyer that wasn’t just flipping my car in its present condition. I owned the car for 28 years and put a lot of time and money into its refurbishment. I wanted to sell it to someone who would finish what I had not and find it a good home. I had just got off the phone with my third prospective buyer. All of them initially low-balled the price and would lose interest in the car when I told them it needed a little work. I continued searching the web and found Alex Manos of the Beverly Hills Car Club. I went ahead and called Alex believing that there would again be little interest in a car that needs a little work. Instead, I found Alex to be immediately interested in and knowledgeable of my car. After sending him some pictures, a list of things that I had done to the car, and the things that I considered unfinished, we were able to compromise on a fair price. The money was immediately wired to my bank account and he connected me to his people for handling paperwork and transportation from Dallas to LA. I appreciate Alex’s patience on the pickup date, as I needed to sort through 28 years of car related parts and documents to get the car packed and ready. When, the truck arrived for pickup I was simultaneously feeling sad to see it leave and very appreciative of the service that Alex provided … as my longtime passion and hobby made its way to LA. I can’t imagine an easier or better experience in selling a unique classic car. I whole heartedly recommend Alex and his dealership for buying or selling such vehicles!”

“Great transaction for all my cars. His team is excellent, courteous, and quick. I will always go back to Alex.”

“Excellent customer service.”

“You never know what you are going to get for service from a internet dealer.. but spoke personally with Alex to sell my car, and he was a fantastic, straight-forward person to work with. Was a fantastic experience and his word was golden.. thank you Alex.”

“Alpha was fantastic. Attentive, courteous, and professional. I would highly recommend him.”

“My transaction went smoothly and BHCC is a great fit for selling cars like mine that will appeal to hobbyists wanting to add value with their time and talent. Alex was great at follow up. It was better than going the consignment route and wondering how long it would take to sell and at what price.”
