Right now my '85 GTV6 is the one on hold while I get my '72 510 running for autox this spring.

Jobs to do on the Daytona? It has a tiny weep on an oil seal at the back of the engine, but it's an engine out fix. Also keep thinking about painting it back in it's original Dino blue metallic

The red looks great to be honest. What's the other car in the background? (bora? ...I'm not well versed)

365 GT/4?

No it's the 365GT4's predecessor the 365GTC4 (it belong's to my Dad). The most basic explanation is it's a 2+2 version of a Daytona but it's actually much more complex than that. I wrote an article comparing the two cars a few years ago http://www.drivecult.com/features/sibling-rivalry-ferrari-365gtb-4-daytona-versus-ferrari-365gtc-4

As to the Daytona colour it still shows up well but it was last painted in 1985 and there are a few areas that need a little attention. The car is 40 this year so as a birthday present to it I might get it repainted. Have to say I like the idea of the blue but my wife prefers the red

Very good read with pictures to match. Thanks!

I realised my mistake about 5 minutes after posting, but I couldn't find out how to edit it. Didn't put the 'C' in.

Very cool car.

Also, I really like blue cars. Not as flashy as red, but more colourful than the sea of silvers, blacks and whites.

Go blue!

I'm itching to get cracking on my stepfront '67 Alfa Romeo GT Veloce. But can't start until I finish my '66 Super. Hopefully this year... I've said that for the last couple of years.
