Ferrari Mailing List: Re: 250 SWB vs. 275 GTB/4 vs. 365 GTB/4

[Robert W. Garven Jr. (rgarven]

I like th 365 GTB4 best for several reasons.  It was the car that I  
wanted when I garduated high scool and it has a smaller leather  
steering wheel and more modern
dash. I love the old ferraris but I have this theory that men like  
the cars that they would have wanted in high school. Th big steering  
wheel on the 250-275 seems
a little awkward to me, not that I would not like to have all 3 but I  
like the daytona. I also like the 6 carbs, the nose design, pop up  
headlights, the seats, the gauges,
the wheels the tools etc. etc. etc. I also like the heavy steering as  
for a fat gt I think it is perfect for high speed feel...
