Mecum's Kissimmee 2016 auction is just around the corner, and you have a lot of reasons to get to the bank right away and pull out a couple million dollars. For the Prancing Horse fans, we give you four reasons to do that. And they are called GTB, Daytona, GTC and Dino.
Starting with the “low-priced” one, if you have somewhere between $400,000 and $500,000 and you don’t know what to do with it, the 1974 Ferrari Dino 246 GTS is the car for you. This particular example has a 2.4-liter transverse-mounted Dino V6 engine, a five-speed gearbox, and four-wheel disc brakes.
The car rides in style on the rare 7.5-inch wide Campagnolo alloy wheels and has factory-fitted fender flares to accommodate them. The rarity doesn’t stop here because this beautiful example also has the “Chairs and Flares” package, which includes a tan leather interior with factory-fitted seats from the 365 GTB Daytona.
Because it's finished in Fly Yellow, you can bet this car will never pass unnoticed.
The second on the list is the fabulous 1967 Ferrari 330 GTC. The car has the chassis of the 275 GTB, the 330 GT 2+2’s 4.0-liter V12 engine, and the signature of Pininfarina, which showed its genius by combining the front of the 500 Superfast with the rear of the 275 GTB.
Finished in the legendary Rosso Corsa and with tan interior, this definition of automotive elegance is expected to cost between $650,000 and $750,000.
If you’re still undecided, maybe the 1973 Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Daytona is the car you’re looking for. The vehicle is powered by a 4.4-liter double overhead cam V12 engine linked to a five-speed manual gearbox, which produces 352 horsepower.
One of 1,422 units built, this Daytona is finished in yellow, and after it received a full restoration in the 1990s, it won the Ferrari Concours Platinum Award in 1998. Offered with a toll roll and owner’s manual, this superbly maintained example of one of Ferrari’s greatest cars is expected to fetch between $750,000 and $900,000.
And now, the icing on the cake, the incredible 1967 Ferrari 275 GTB/4 Berlinetta, finished in Grigio Mahmoud and with the original Saddle Tan leather interior. The 275 GTB/4 Berlinetta is the first Ferrari GT to have an independent suspension at all four corners. The beautiful body has been designed by Pininfarina, built by Scaglietti, and inspired by Maranello-based carmaker’s 250 GTO endurance racer.
It is powered by a 3.3-liter V12 engine with two overhead cams per cylinder bank and dry sump lubrication, which is designed by Gioacchino Colombo, linked to a 5-speed manual transmission, and develops 300 horsepower.
This pristine example of automotive art has slightly under 9,320 miles on the odometer and comes with the original owner’s manual, factory toll roll, wheel chock, and bill of sale from 45 years ago. The only thing that might discourage you is the price. The 1967 Ferrari 275 GTB/4 Berlinetta costs somewhere between $2,800,000 and $3,500,000, but it’s worth every cent.
