According to records, this Ferrari was the 805th "Daytona" built and it was shipped to a Philadelphia area dealer. Two years later, the car was with Panther Westwinds in Surrey England.  In addition to building its own historically-influenced vehicles, the firm was capable of very high quality coachwork conversions and interior trim.  Working to a design by Luigi "Coco" Chinetti Jr. and freelance auto designer Gene Garfinkle, Panther Westwinds modified the "Daytona" into a striking station wagon. This "Daytona" Wagon avoided a traditional rear tailgate by using gullwing-style rear side windows for access to the cargo deck.

The car is powered by a 4.4 liter V-12 engine developing 352 horsepower coupled to a 5-speed manual transmission with a top speed of 173 mph.  It also was capable of 0-60 mph in 5.9 seconds.

Today, the car shows fewer than 4,000 miles on the odometer.
