#694 of 729 Will Ferrari compete in sports car racing like it did in the 1950s and 60s? by xkss Dec 18, 2005 (7:47 pm)
They will have a new Ferrari F430 GTC next year, but will it be reliable?

Replying to: habitat1 (Aug 01, 2005 5:47 am) 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. Replies to this message: chile96 (Nov 05, 2006 9:03 am)
#696 of 729 Weird ad.... by andys120 Dec 22, 2005 (2:16 pm)
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.
#697 of 729 Congrats Billymay by tsaupe1 Jan 05, 2006 (6:18 pm)
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. Replies to this message: billymay (Jan 10, 2006 9:07 pm)

Replying to: tsaupe1 (Jan 05, 2006 6:18 pm) 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.
#700 of 729 Production Numbers by tsaupe1 Jan 11, 2006 (7:46 pm)
Billymay, Those number come from the factory. I checked with them through the owner's site. It's well worth registering if you haven't already. Nero Metallico is an unusual paint for Ferrari across the board. When you add in all the other differences between cars, you might find you're more unique than you think. For instance, of the 328s in that colour, I've found out that mine is the only one with the full Schedoni interior. I've found one other (in Japan) which has the same interior colour (wine) but has the black dash top and arm rests.   As for websites, I also highly recommend joining Ferrari Chat, if you haven't already. Great info and a nice group of people. Not unlike this forum! Is the 30K done yet? I'm curious to hear your impressions when you've had the car on the road for a bit. I've had the good fortune to own a few Ferraris and until I get my next, I love this one the most!   Best of luck and happy motoring!   Tom
