Sonny-Burnett Posted August 16, 2021 Report Share Posted August 16, 2021 I know some of you were aware I was planning to sell my Daytona a few months back and I had originally planned to list it on my own. But as the sale of my home had already occurred and I was facing a limited amount of time to organize and move out (it sold in 3 days) I realized I had little time to list the car and work with potential buyers. So I contacted the folks at Volo who liked my car and agreed to take on this responsibility, and they did an excellent job of marketing. My car recently sold though I don't have any details about the purchaser. For those interested here's a link to the Volo advert along with photos and a video. https://www.volocars.com/auto-sales/vehicles/16595/1981-ferrari-daytona-replica Cheers, S-B 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kavinsky Posted December 9, 2022 Report Share Posted December 9, 2022 (edited) Oh jesus the things you miss, if I had known I would have taken a look lol I guess this explains why he hasnt been around for awhile, still a nice car though, always liked how the wheels filled it out better, like the wider thicker tires always looked better on the daytona's like this like when you actually see one where someones gone the full monty and put the original rims and tires on it with the 42mm center spline it really comes alive and becomes rather convincing I mean I still like the OG car, but it still really sets it off nicely, which is probably the cobra and shelby daytona man in me speaking, as those cars with the gigantic rear wheels just always left an impression with me about meaning business Edited December 9, 2022 by Kavinsky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well life sometimes gets in the way of things and that's been the case with me these past few years. Sold my Daytona through Volo last summer along with all the Spares I had acquired as I was moving and didn't have a place to store it nor the time to sell it through listings. Hopefully the new owner is enjoying it as much as I did. As you probably recall it was one of the later builds and I had all the original paperwork such as the original purchase contract and change orders, along with letters and brochures from Tom Mcburnie who, incidentally, is in a group I joined last year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kavinsky Posted December 26, 2022 Report Share Posted December 26, 2022 (edited) Yeah it was the first one under one of the offical searches lol as it was just like okay I, huh lol actually its probably the first footage someones done of one of the daytona spider replicas as close to what they did on the show really lol also it had proper connolly leather, that in of itself is quite a rarity, as the company that made that has gone bankrupt and been restructured, and apparently its so notable that well, this happened with a DB4 at 4:28. like I thought leather was just leather, turns out it aint lol also I dont even think the real thing has that, it was most noted on rolls royces, something he worked on way back when Edited December 26, 2022 by Kavinsky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't know it was still out there. Yes, mine had high end Connolly leather and the company is no longer around. I had the Work Order to get it installed and a swatch of fabric, both of which went with the car along with purchase docs, change orders, brochures, etc and spare parts.

apocalypse Posted January 23, 2023 Report Share Posted January 23, 2023 How much did this Daytona replica go for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kavinsky Posted March 16, 2023 Report Share Posted March 16, 2023 ah so it didnt come like that, probably bought it from Mcburnie and had it modified with the rear suspension setup, and then had that upgrade done, kinda funny they didnt do the carb upgrade however, but I guess smog and all that kinda funny really, in the corvette books I have, the one written by the guy who supplied Lotus UK the parts to make the ZR1, tom falconer he mentions that you can actually take the fuel injection system of the C4 vette and fit it on an old 283 and it'll run better, cleaner and make more power, wonder if the same thing could be done with a stock C3, like just take the unit off and stick it on. not unlike what people are doing with the Holly Dominator system nowadays Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
