1971 Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Daytona
Chassis No. 14083
Specs: 352 hp, 4,390 cc DOHC V12 engine, 6 Weber carburetors, five-speed manual transaxle, independent front and rear suspension by coil springs and wishbones, four-wheel hydraulic disc brakes. Wheelbase: 94.5"
History: The ultimate expression of the front-engine V12 Ferrari, the 365 GTB/4 is instantly recognizable. Illustrating Enzo’s dictum that “the horse does not push the cart, it pulls,” the Daytona’s exaggerated hood practically places the driver between the back wheels.
The Daytona had a tube steel frame, and the body featured a horizontal body-side crease just below the level of the wheel-wells. Early models had full-width plastic headlight covers, but all had pop-up lights from 1970 onwards. The chopped-off Kamm tail contained two taillights on each side, and aluminum was used for the doors, hood and trunklid, while Cromodora five-spoke wheels were standard.
Each Daytona 364 GTB/4 cost $19,500 when an L88 Corvette could be had for $5,600. However, its peerless mechanical specifications delivered on the Daytona’s claim to be the fastest production sports car in the world, with a claimed top speed of 174 mph. The 4-cam V12 engine displaced 4.3-liters and cranked out 352 horsepower. Road and Track’s Dean Batchelor photographed an indicated 180 mph at a flat-out 7,000 rpm, and even when the speed was calculated exactly, it still came out to be 173 mph.
Although the Daytona was initially conceived as an interim model for the long-awaited 365 GT 4 Berlinetta Boxer, it was released as the fastest and, for legions of Ferrari enthusiasts, the most desirable car in the world. While Ferrari ultimately conformed with the rising trend of mid-engine “supercars” with the Berlinetta Boxer and Testarossa, the classic Ferrari formula of a front-mounted V12 continues to show its appeal in Ferrari’s current road models. Four decades after its debut, however, the 365 GTB 4 Daytona maintains its glorious status among the sports car elite and is a cultural icon in its own right.
14083: This car’s history is well-known and scrupulously recorded. Originally Amaranto in color, with Nero leather interior, 14083 was built on January 25th, 1971. It was delivered new to Bill Harrah’s Modern Classic Motors in Reno, Nevada and then went to Hollywood Sport Cars, where it was bought by Richard Smith of Redlands, California. Smith owned 14083 until 1988, and it was repainted and cosmetically restored in 1983 by Ferrari expert Mike Sheehan.
The owner in 1991 was recorded as Randall Baselt, and 14083 was sold next by Rod Drew’s Francorchamps of America. At that time, it showed 42,000 miles. Apparently David Hirsch of Cazadero, California couldn’t resist it. His love affair lasted until 1994, when 14083 next appeared for sale at Fantasy Junction in Emeryville, California and was bought by Robert Giase in Tiburon in January 1995. By February 1997, 14083 belonged to Cammisa Motor Car Company in Burlingame, California, with 46,188 miles on it.
Garry Roberts and Company of Costa Mesa, California offered 14083 in the Ferrari Market Letter in 1998, and it was snapped up by Jose Hernandez of Fremont, California, who owned it until the previous owner bought it in 2005. Since then, it has been enjoyed and conscientiously maintained in a highly respected private collection.

The Bell P-39 Airacobra was an important fighter in WWII for both the USAAF and the Soviets. However, despite its progressive, streamlined design, its limited engine capabilities restricted its effective use to low-level attacks (below 10,000 feet).

ahhhhhhh, late submission that I am not at all happy about.
Friday was definitely a low point in my photography. I don't think I'm much of a journalist photographer, and I think my editing skills are kinda going down. I need to unplug my brain from society and turn over a new leaf.
on another note, look at all that uncut grass! I'd joke with my mom saying that I'd pay the people to not cut the grass...seriously, love tall grass.

39/52 for the group 52 in Twenty Eleven
This week's theme was: Inspired by book or movie
I'd been racking my brains to think of something suitable this week (though I had decided on a fall back shot in case I couldn't think of anything better!). Anyway, this morning as I went out early to hang out the washing in the garden, the sun glittering on the dewy grass caught my eye and thinking of grass made me think of Clifford D. Simak's 1960s classis SF novel All Flesh Is Grass.
So I had my shot for the week! :)
