Harrah Hot Rod Daytona at Steve Harris

+1

 

Not keen on the slightly nose down back up drag racer stance (which can probably be sorted) but other than that lovely

 

Some serious looking tires there! Really like the early silver nose...

Dumb!

 

Love it. Did he have one other one similar to this, but looking a little more like a competition version?

Pretty cool. Cooler, still, if indeed a factory effort ...

^^ Cool story.

I think it looks great.

 

I owned the car and consigned it to Gooding

Know this car quite well

 

Wow love the huge drag race ready rear tires! Now a set of yellow flames on the fenders and it will look like a real hot rod. Tom what did you sell this $400K+ beauty for?

 

I have a couple pics of this car from last weeks visit. It's a neat car, and I had no idea it had this history.

 

Seems like a hell of a premium for flared guards and a set of wide wheels.

 

My thoughts exactly, unless it left the factory like that.

 

wow, this car is amazing. i am in absolute love. wish it wasn't restored, but i wish that about most all ferraris...

 

Cool story none the less..........

There was a Daytona Coupe shown at the 2005 New York City Concours D' Elegance with similar if not identical features (same color, flared fenders). At the time it had I believe Vermont plates on it. I think it was owned by Bruce McCaw at the time. In short, is this the same car or a sister car? Thank you in advance.

 

Same car. NY City Concours, Wollman Rink, Central Park, 1/2 October 2005. Entered by Peter Markowski/RPM of Vergennes/VT, Vermont license plates F 1180.

Thank you Marcel!

 

Were these modifications really Factory Original?

If so why did it come with Wire Wheels?

 

Modifications done by Harrah in America

Francisco Mirr installed the flairs per Bill Harrah's request

9 & 11's installed

Euro exhaust

 

was car originally plexi or pop up? heard it started life as plexi, accident, then became pop up.
ed

 

Any Factory Mods at all?

Engine?

Best

 

This car was a US car as Marcel noted for s/n 14169 description so factory pop up headlights by then. I believe the plexi cars ended with s/n 14115. Maybe you were thinking of the first Daytona Spider which was found with pop up headlights later on in it's life. It started out as a fly yellow plexi car.
