1971 Ferrari 365 GTS/4 Daytona

The legendary Colombo V12 engine and timeless styling is what makes the Ferrari 365 Daytona a staple of David Lee’s collection. See more of David Lee’s collection on his KZbin channel, “Ferrari Collector David Lee.”

[@TBHinPhilly]

I love that Jay is diagnosing and fixing David Lee's car.

[@sunburn8640]

At no charge! Well save the test drive that is…. He can’t help it, he is the car enthusiast with pockets deep enough to fulfill all of our fantasies. Afterall, that’s why we are all here…

[@Dr.TJ_Eckleburg]

This guy knows nothing about his cars. He has great stuff but he’s a terrible guest because he’s the typical rich guy who accumulates cars to score clout but doesn’t know a thing about them. Some of Jays guests are awesome because the guys really nerd out on their cars and know tiny details even Jay doesn’t know. But when Lee is there you can tell he’s just a total ignoramus poseur. Every single time he’s on it’s the same.

[@guytansbariva2295]

Yeah, and what's ironic is that Jay gets heckled for not owing any Ferraris, but of course that's his personal choice.

[@frankiodeelux3159]

Obviously David should have had Jay vet the car before he got hosed for a car with slipping clutch.

My grandfather bought a new Ferrari 365gtb/4 in 1973 when he was 65 as retirement gift to himself. He was a very physically fit man, he looked and acted much younger, so seeing an “old” man in such a car wasn’t that odd. I remember the day he brought it over to my parents house so we could all go for rides, it was the most beautiful car I’d ever seen. That and the Miura are my favorite all time cars. It was black with a black and red interior with the black and red special “Daytona” seats. I remember my mother being shocked that the car cost the outrageous sum of $23,000 (which is about $153,000 in today’s money), which was actually a lot of money back then. We lived in coastal Oregon where there were lots of great driving roads, and my grandfather took it up to 140 and held it there for about 5 minutes, after he made me promise not to tell my parents. That became a habit with us, he would often take me for high speed runs when he drove out from Portland to see us. I was 8 in 1973, and I remember everything about that car vividly. He kept it until he died at age 76, then it became my fathers car, which he held onto until the cost of keeping it in top shape was just too much. I drove it countless times, the steering was a bit heavy at parking speeds, but otherwise it was a mind blowing experience to drive it. The only downside was that I often got followed by strangers, some who would literally follow me to my house, so I had to keep driving until I lost them. They could’ve just wanted to talk about the car, or they could’ve wanted to kill me and take the car, I never was sure. It was extremely depressing when it got sold, but my father did get a sizable amount for it that made his retirement much easier.s

[@pandras8312]

That's a really nice story. I like that you didn't just throw it in the back yard after it got too costly to maintain. You had a great run with it, got all the joy you could ask from it and then it went to someone else for them to experience the same thing. It's a suiting end to your story that you helped the car continue a great life and it helped your father have a decent life after retirement.

[@Mike-rk8px]

@@pandras8312 It wasn’t lost on our family what a stunning car it was, how rare it was, and how much it was worth. The values of these cars were all over the place in the past decades. In 1973 the OPEC oil crisis hit, making gas suddenly extremely expensive. For the rest of the 70’s these cars weren’t worth much more than their sticker price new. My father has a newspaper ad from 1978 from someone looking to sell a Ferrari 365gts/4 and asking $15,000. By the time my father sold it in 2014 he got $375,000 for it.

[@lowbaritonewwj]

A guy about my mom's age (in Fullerton, California) had a Ferrari Lusso, and when I got to know him a little, about 15 years ago, he did tell me that someone followed him to the house, and started talking to him. Things turned out as the guy was local, and had a Shelby collection that he wanted to show him. And yes, I think that Gary went over to his house to see it.

Jay said, "Somebody 6' 5" could drive this car." The first Cannonball Run in November 1971, Brock Yates and Dan Gurney, who was 6' 2", drove a Daytona coupe from New York to Redondo Beach in just under 36 hours winning the event. With a perfectly straight face, Gurney said, "We never went over 175mph." But after getting a ticket (the only one they got) in Arizona, just to see how fast it would go, Gurney took it up to 172 and said it was rock steady.

[@simonlange6726]

I remember reading about that race in Car & Driver Mag. I was 12 then, but already a car guy!

[@stanleymasterson1135]

Gurney was full of sh*t. No tires existed at that time that could spend hours at 175mph without a blowout. It was also not possible to find a stretch of road anywhere that would allow those speeds for more than 50 miles or so. At NORMAL highway speeds TODAY the trip is only 42 hours, so to save another 6 hours would not require anywhere near those speeds.

[@Kawiturbo750]

I 'm 75 and always loved the gated shifter. I still love it but my enthusiasm was slightly diminished when I learned they started because of weak linkage

[@moyadapne968]

@@stanleymasterson1135 42 hours is 65 average. Yates/Gurney averaged 100 mph. Google: 215/70VR15 Michelin XWX as fitted to Daytona. Speed rating 168 mph, so may not be so 'full of sh*t. I don't recall him saying 'hours at a time'. Besides, the traffic was much lighter then, so higher averages. I drove from LA to Miami in '89, with mostly empty interstate along the way, doing 90/100 for hours.

I saw Jay help fix a Dusenberg at BJ one year, the car was in the staging area outside waiting to go up on stage. Jay and the owner were talking and next thing you know someone brought over some tools, they opened the hood, Jay had it fixed in about 5 minutes. Jay's love for automobiles is always evident and his knowledge is remarkable. The Daytona is without a doubt my favorite all time car, great episode.

[@cologne2792]

If you pay close attention to the pilot episode of Miami Vice, the first time we see Crockett sat in the Daytona, it is in fact a real one with a screen presence of about 10 seconds. After that, it's all Corvette based replicas and a couple of Testarossa - apart from one episode in season two where a rich lawyer (John Heard) also has a rather lovely, genuine Daytona in yellow.

[@terryshrk]

Its a good thing that less expensive cars were used in actual filming because repeated use as TV or movie cars often damages them. Attaching heavy cameras and other filming equipment means putting various braces against the body lol!

[@jamesfernick3741]

alot of people dont know that in the testrrossa era they has 2 real testarossas and a fake one, there was one stock real one they used in most scenes, and the other one had a bunch of camera equipment to film the interior shots while driving, the fake was for the stunt scenes where they used a ford powered detomasso pantera to do risky stuff,

[@christopherpardell4418]

As I heard it, The production wanted a real Ferrari and wanted Ferrari to give them one as product placement. Ferrari refused because they didn’t want their car associated with the drug trade. But after the show became a huge hit, they changed their mind, yet demanded proof that the replica they were using would be destroyed. So they decided to blow it to pieces on camera.

Back in 1975, when I was racing in the SCCA, a Chicago guy named John Cooper had a Daytona coupe. One Sunday, I was standing in the pits at Blackhawk Farms Raceway and John was sitting in the Daytona, waiting to lead the pace lap for the next race. He motioned over to me, rolled the window down and said, "Hop in!". I jumped in, belted up, and watch him flip switches, hearing the fuel pumps come on, a ticking and beeping sound, and then he hit the starter and the V12 roared to life. I was thrilled! The starter waved him out and the field lined up behind him as we drove around the course. So smooth and wonderful was the ride, with that great sound. At the last corner, he floored it and we rocketed about 100 yards and then ducked into the pits as the racers roared by. I thanked him profusely and will never forget my 1.9 mile ride in a Daytona. About a year later, Mark Donohue mentioned in his book, "The Unfair Advantage", that Roger Penske had bought a Daytona when they were working with Ferrari. He said, "I couldn't believe it, $25,000 for a car!". Wonder where that car is today.

I was walking around Hollywood one day in 1969, just to take a look, and wandered into Hollywood Sports Cars. I’m 6’7”, and I opened up a 365GTB and sat in it just to see if I could fit. I did, but just barely, and remember pulling on that peculiar little door latch! The sticker said $19,000-something! I never got the chance to become an “enthusiast” before things got totally out of control, but I always thought of the Daytona and the 275GTS as the ones I would have really liked to have had. I clearly remember thinking of the 275GTS as what the Fiat 124s I was seeing everywhere “ought to be”.

[@soidog5]

When I was 21 years old in 1977 I went for my first big driving holiday, from my remote northern Canada town through the western states; I can recall sitting by the Pacific Coast Highway near Santa Monica one day watching all the neat cars coming and going, heaven for a kid like me who had been a car nut since childhood but grew up in a place where you just didn't see anything exotic. Anyway, along comes this beautiful arrest-me-red GTS Daytona, top down on a sunny California day, and I will never forget the sight and sound of that car. I would see one more Daytona in my lifetime, a green coupe in downtown Vancouver in 1979, and that sight and sound will also be there forever - beautiful cars.

In the early '80s there was a Daytona Coupe that parked on the street in my condo neighborhood in Virginia. Red, some rust, just a driver. This was about the time just before prices started to really take off. I ended up getting a '69 Maserati Ghibli in '87, 4.7L grey-market import. Big heavy car, no power steering, drove like an elegant truck. Times were simpler then.

There's a red Ferrari Daytona spider driven by Raul Julia playing the suave formula one driver And before he starts the engine a classic scene is when he says to his passenger "the first thing you've got to know about Italian driving. It makes no difference what's behind you (grabs the rearview mirror pulls it off the windshield and throws it off the car) . Only what's in front of you! And thank David Lee for availing his collection for us and he's pretty cool driving these cars and not treating them like some portfolio investment garage queen. I saw another episode with Nicole Johnson and she visited Lynn park a.k.a. "Mr. cobra" and he is the same way He drives them all And glad you were OK after that horrible burn they really worked miracles

I always remember the 427 Cobra out dragging the Ferrari Daytona Spyder as they exit the L.A. river heading towards Long Beach in that movie(The Gumball Rally).

Amazing machine...if you turn on the closed captioning function, every time Jay steps on the accelerater the on screen cc interpretation says [music] 😳 ... and it is!

[@chrisphillips348]

I love the comedy chemistry between the two!! David!! You convinced me, with this fave of yours…. I’m getting into watch making!!

[@waltermarchand2008]

I love the chemistry between David Lee and Jay Leno, it always becomes more of a conversation about the car instead of an interview with these two.

Such a beautiful car and wonderful sound!

[@StuBar2]

Have seen a few, at shows but still stop and stare when I see one. Just perfect! In my top two of desirable cars, would even settle for a coupe!

[@ukiyo5283]

The Daytona is such a beautiful car. How cool

[@dennissy7549]

My absolute favorite classic car! Best episode for me so far!

[@calvinhunt2335]

You can see the "Mechanic" gears turning in Jay's eyes, as he drives it! Love it 😊

Thanks Jay for sharing this video of such a fantastic example of the peak of older tech making way for the new tech in this Ferrari.

[@Bugaboo-wq5sc]

I consider this to be a 60's car as Jay was saying and I think that was the best and last era of true sports cars and my favorite Ferrari was the 250GT and this 365 GTS is really nice too. Modern cars are technically impressive but for the pure fun of driving and connecting with the machine and feeling the thrill of driving, this is the type of car you want to be have imo. A big thanks to David and Jay for taking us out for a spin with them - very cool!

[@tomboston9669]

I've never seen Jay WANT a car so much ! It's a shame that these things are too valuable to seriously consider daily driving. Just the perfect fantasy car in every way. That engine, the seats, the transmission, the heavy everything, and the unbearably beautiful styling. Wow. I hope Jay gets himself a coupe before they too head off into the stratosphere.

[@davidkarr214]

If Jay wanted one he could just write a check for one. There is a reason he doen't own a Farrari.

[@scottimusgarrett15]

He can just borrow David's!🙂

[@JohnS-il1dr]

@@davidkarr214 bingo! He hated the snobbish attitude that Ferrari has towards new customers.

[@JohnS-il1dr]

@@davidkarr214 he would need to be a proven collector of various ferraris before he could get an allocation of the more desirable cars. They want "pedigree" which irritated Jay.

[@davidkarr214]

@@scottimusgarrett15 If I had one he could borroe it anytime :)

[@singlesideman]

Still my favorite Ferrari, and it still looks modern and even futuristic to me. I've heard that it drives like a truck (I've never driven one, and am very unlikely to), but no matter how it's feels to drive it looks amazing.
