Nice find!

It is a rare aluminum body Daytona and has been sitting for 40 years.

Cool find indeed...but it begs the question, how does one forget they own a Ferrari?

Many times a barn find car like this was purchased by someone who is kind of eccentric and due to some health problem or other factor they just put the car into storage where it sits for decades until the person passes away and then when the heirs have to deal with the deceased person's estate that's when these stories come out.

Good for them, this car is actually worth quite a lot of money.
