‘Out of Africa’, ‘Tootsie’, ‘The Three Days of the Condor’, ‘The Talented Mr. Ripley’, ‘Eyes Wide Shut’… Sydney Pollack’s filmography, whether in front or behind the camera, is simply one of the most impressive in history. In 1974, Pollack, in the height of his career, fell in love with this legendary Ferrari. Initially called 365 GTB/4 in its coupe version, it was then nicknamed ‘Daytona’ because of its triple victory on the legendary circuit. At the 1969 Frankfurt Motor Show and upon request of the powerful American market, Pininfarina designed this marvelous convertible version for Enzo Ferrari. Only 125 models were produced. Unfortunately, the car was as beautiful as it was temperamental. Pollack got rid of it some time later, tired of the lack of reliability of Italian cars at the time. The car was then taken to Mexico by road to avoid customs. That’s were it was stolen by a powerful pawnbroker looking for compensation. It only reappeared a few years later… in Ohio! Followed endless legal proceedings, and it went in the hands of numerous collectors before it was fully restored and presented for sale by RM Sotheby’s. A rare model in this color combination, it is now as good as new, and its story alone would deserve a full blown feature film!
