Very special Ferrari 365 GTS/4 Daytona in a movie...

[Ace-Garageguy]

This one-of-one Ferrari 365 GTS4 Daytona with a "Targa" roof is apparently the car David Janssen drives in The Swiss Conspiracy, free on YT now.

 EDIT: I saw the car in the film and researched it, having never seen one like it, and sure enough, this is THE car.

I didn't know of it until this evening...

Yup, that's similar and I acquired the kit a while back. I believe there were two built like that, but I may be mistaken.

But the subject of this post has a differently shaped Targa bar, and a 2-part removable roof section...and I think it has a hard rear window.

The film car is on the same 5-spoke alloys as the model illustration shows, but is on wires now.

Very short fuzz, used to be pretty much impossible to restore, but I imagine that's been addressed by now.

Alcantara, but when I had my '71 Dino, it WAS almost impossible to find.

It WAS called "mouse fur"!

How bizarre.

I'm not a big fan of a lot of Ferraris, but I've loved the Daytona since reading my dad's old Car & Driver with the Cannonball winner in it, and then later seeing Gumball on cable. What's behind you isn't important!

Hmmm , I have this kit. I may have to bring it forth in the queue.
