The Ferrari P4 didn't come along until 1967. It was a further development of the P3. Ferrari's 1965 prototype racer was the P2, which were equipped with the 275 (3.3-liter), 330 (4-liter), and 365 (4.4-liter) engines.
Any body remember the Daytona super coupe?? Saw it in 1979 in Denver at a restoration shop.
