Bill Harrah's 1971 Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Daytona
Bill Harrah made his fortune building casinos that bear his name. But even the glitz of his casinos couldn't match his stable of exotic automobiles, with a particular emphasis on Ferraris. Mr. Harrah's 1971 365 GTB/4 Daytona Berlinetta was built by the factory with customizations not seen on the "regular" production Daytonas, and upon taking delivery of the car, Harrah had competition wheels and motor upgrades added. Part of the history of this car involves a salesman offering Mr. Harrah a faster way to get from Reno to Lake Tahoe — a Sikorsky helicopter. Unimpressed, Harrah said he'd take one if it could beat his Daytona. The helicopter lost, with the Ferrari reportedly averaging 146 MPH for the run. Presented in its original color scheme with its original engine, it's a pristine example with a storied past.
