This wooden scale model is based on the Colombo V12 engine used in the Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Daytona and was fabricated by the seller over a period of three years. The model is constructed from several variations of wood depicting the carburetors, intake trumpets, valve covers, cylinder heads, engine block, distributors, oil filter housings, and clutch assembly. This wooden V12 scale model is now offered in San Jose, California, with a walnut base.
The scale model was fabricated and assembled by the seller using multiple pieces of wood with varying finishes, cables, and wire joined together with stainless steel hardware to resemble the V12 engine used in the Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Daytona. The model is 1:1 in scale and measures approximately 37″ long by 24″ wide and 26″ tall with an estimated weight of fifty-five pounds. Details include an engine block, cylinder heads, a generator, and a water pump.
The model is topped with six sculpted carburetors along with velocity stacks and throttle linkages. The valve covers are constructed with walnut and feature polished brass trim and Ferrari-style branding.
Dual oil filter housings are mounted at the front of the model, while twin distributors and a scalloped wood block in the shape of a clutch pressure plate are secured at the rear. Decorative fasteners and clamps wear a contrasting finish and are shown up close in the gallery.
The piece is situated atop a walnut base with a hand-rubbed oil finish.
A Certificate of Authenticity will accompany the model.
