Ferrari experimented with four wheel, or all wheel drive back in the late seventies or early eighties. Can't remember which but I remember seeing the chassis at the Galleria in Maranello. If memory serves me it carried a 400 designation. A lot of people are going the all wheel drive route for better handling and road manners, I'm not really surprised. Of course, they may have patented the system, but that doesn't mean they'll use it.
By the Way Andys120, I love the pic of the racing Lusso. that car just looks great in any livery, color or from any angle. Bellissima!

They will have a new Ferrari F430 GTC next year, but will it be reliable?

Yes I'm still alive, just haven't posted in a while. '87 328GTS (black metallic/tan) is bought, from Sport Auto in NC, and having its 30K spa treatment right now. PPI at Ferrari of Atlanta showed great compression/leakdown results, and the service history looks good. I'm hoping to have it out here in San Diego the first week in January.
 
I did end up focusing on the 328 over the 348 or 355, although I could have stretched into the 355. This left me a decent cash cushion (I hope) for any initial stuff that needs sorting out.
 
Anyone reading this who is wavering between a Porsche and a Ferrari needs to actually drive both. They exist in two different universes.

Weird ad.... by andys120

The "1962 Ferrari Spider" featured in this ad from HMN appears to be a much sought after 250 Spider California yet the words "Spider California" are not mentioned nor is the S/N, an essential reference for the serious collector of classic Ferraris. In fact the information in the ad is quite sketchy and the price at $69k is suspiciously low.
 

I'm betting it's a clone or maybe worse a Corvette based replicar.

on the 328. I hope you enjoy yours as much as I enjoy mine. By the way, only 45 were built in Nero Metallico, you and I now account for two. Andys120, my guess is a clone probably on a Corvette base. The body looks suspiciously bulbous to me and that price wouldn't put a down payment on a real California Spyder. Nearly any 250 series spider is going to go for at least twice that. New Year's wishes to everyone.

Thanks tsaupe. How did you get the production figures for that paint code? I have Keith Bluemel's Original Ferrari V-8 book -- gives total production, but it doesn't break it down by color, or country for that matter.
