The 1972 Ferrari Daytona is one of the most emblematic and exclusive cars of the Italian brand. This particular model was owned by Mel Gibson for several years when it became a large part of his classic car collection, which, as we well know, is one of the most important parts of Mel’s life.
The story between the actor of the Passion of the Christ and the Italian car began in 2008, when Gibson bought it under the crown. Honey didn’t hesitate a second when she saw the edition and immediately agreed, making a figure unknown today.
According to what they say, it was the 4.4-liter V12 engine with a maximum power of 352 horse power at 7,500 rpm and a maximum torque of 318 lb-ft at 5,500 rpm, which defeated the first Lethal Weapon in second place. and they began to ride on the roads. Until 2010, the year he was expelled.
What happened between Honey and Ferrari?
He said the reason Mel Gibson decided to sell his Ferrari Daytona was to free up space in the garage and reduce the size of his car collection. Although Ferrari also felt it was a big decision for the actor, he decided it was time for someone to enjoy the vehicle’s beauty and power.
It so happened that the Italian car was auctioned in 2010 at a classic car auction in Scottsdale, Arizona. The car was sold at a price of $227,500, an impressive price for such a model in excellent condition. A buyer stumbles across an incredibly well-kept car home steeped in history and authority.
However, this plan was hit hard at Monza. The main project of the Prancing Horse brand did not take the lead of the deadly iron lightly and asked him for explanations on the phone. And although the details of the conversation did not come out, the relationship between Mel and Ferrari was quite distant.
Would you have sold this remnant?
