The very first production car to break the 200-mph barrier, the F40 was a landmark car in Ferrari’s storied history for a variety of reasons. Firstly, it was created in celebration of the company’s 40th birthday and secondly, it would be the very last model that Enzo Ferrari personally oversaw before his passing. Looking to its Formula 1 team for inspiration, Ferrari sought to make the F40 as lightweight as possible, pioneering the use of carbon fiber for its chassis and bodywork, resulting in a svelte 2,400 lbs. In addition to its top speed of 201.4 mph, the F40 could sprint from 0–60 mph in just 3.8 seconds and rocket through the quarter-mile in 11.8 seconds. In the age of incredible advanced technologies, Ferrari stuck to the tried-and-true philosophy of reducing weight and adding power.

Originally outfitted with catalytic converters and a non-adjustable suspension, chassis 91464 was delivered new to Dr. Daniel Schick through Graber Automobile AG in Wichtrach, Switzerland, on 18 December 1991. Dr Schick resided in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, but kept his F40 in Switzerland and Germany for his personal use and as well as the use of his son living in Germany at the time. It was later sold to a Mr. Goldschagg of Switzerland before passing to an owner in Munich, Germany, who registered the car on German plates M-WW 8833.

Like many F40 drivers, this new owner did not consider the factory braking system adequate for the power and speed of the F40. As such, he commissioned the installation of larger Brembo brakes, race-type front suspension, and a slightly revised pedal box. To accommodate the bigger brakes, the front wheels were further offset, and as such the outer corners of the front fenders were slightly modified – making for a more angular appearance. These alterations are not uncommon with European owners of F40s, as these upgrades made the car more stable at high speed and brought it to a halt in a shorter distance. The larger brakes also serve to eliminate fading under heavy use and extended driving periods.

The F40 returned to its native Italy around 2007 and received its 30,000-km service, with 26,761 km showing, by Michelotto Giuliano & Co s.n.c in Padova that year. A part of the now world-famous Duemila Ruote collection sale, the F40 received a pre-sale workup in excess of $10,000. Since its sale, the F40 has been carefully maintained in a private collection and is ready for spirited use by its next owner.

Four glorious decades of Ferrari experience and development went into the Ferrari F40; it will give the few lucky individuals a ride they will never forget. The finest birthday present Ferrari could have given itself, this F40 will fulfill any enthusiast’s need for speed.

The 365 GTB/4 that debuted at the Paris Motor Show in the fall of 1968 marked a great departure from the 275 GTB that preceded it. Its hidden headlights, truncated tail without a spoiler, and five-spoke alloy wheels brought the brand into the modern era to compete against Lamborghini’s dramatic Miura.

With its long hood and hidden headlights covered initially by Perspex and later reworked as retractable units to satisfy U.S. federal requirements, the GTB/4 became the quintessential Italian long-distance grand-touring car design. Underneath, it utilized a welded tubular steel frame, an independent suspension, and a new version of the V-12 complete with four chain-driven camshafts and six downdraft Weber carburetors. At 352 hp, the 365 GTB/4 boasted two more horses than the Miura, a point hardly lost on engineers in Sant’Agata.

The motoring press dubbed the supercar Daytona, a nickname that stuck with engineers and designers but not marketers in Maranello; Ferrari rarely refers to the car as anything other than the 365 GTB/4. The Scaglietti-bodied 365 GTB/4 Daytona went into production in 1969 and spawned a convertible Spider the next year at the Frankfurt salon.

Journalist Ken Bachelor said at the time that its “excellent horsepower and torque give the Daytona performance to match its looks.” Contemporary Road & Track testing found a 0–60-mph sprint of just 5.5 seconds and a top speed of 174 mph. The Daytona excelled at long-distance, high-speed traveling thanks to its plush interior, but this archetypal supercar was just as at home on a race track. Lightweight versions finished 5th and 9th overall at Le Mans in 1972.

Chassis 15419, completed on 27 July 1972, left the factory finished in Rosso Chiaro over Nero. A U.S.-delivery example, the car was completed in left-hand drive and featured power windows and instrumentation in kilometers. It was delivered to Harrah’s Modern Classic Motors in Reno, Nevada. Sold new to its first owner from Los Angeles. In 1978, Arthur Rice purchased the car and owned it through the mid-1980s. Gerald Schwallbach of Minnesota purchased the car in 1985, owning it until 2016. It was subsequently purchased by the current owner, who is proud to offer it today.

Some five decades after it was built, this Daytona is presented in excellent condition, an ideal example for high-speed driving, touring, or other enjoyment on the open road. It has been recently serviced by Ferrari technicians, invoices included, and offers the ultra-smooth performance and crisp shifting for which Ferrari is known. Currently equipped with power steering upgrade and four-wheel disc brakes, the car offers roadholding and stopping performance truly befitting of a car with such a legendary racing heritage.

Sure to turn heads anywhere it goes, this GTB/4 provides a driving experience unlike anything else on the road. It is truly a must-own for any committed sports car aficionado.
