It is no secret that the classic Ferrari market has exploded in recent years, and certainly over the last 10. While $550,000 is still a lot of money, in 2015 it seems like a bargain for a genuine Daytona Spider. Today, that won’t even buy a Daytona Coupe that’s in any kind of reasonable shape. With the rapid rise in value these cars have seen, here’s hoping that whoever gave this car up in 2005 isn’t kicking himself too hard today.
