    My search and dream of owing a Ferrari have finally come true. Was able to find an absolutely pristine '05 430 Spider with the highly desirable Gated Manual transmission.

    Got the car from Boardwalk Ferrari (absolutely fantastic folks up there, was a perfect transaction).

    Car is everything i ever wanted in a 430. Great options, including a rare factory engine compartment in Carbon Fiber!

    A few pics, i'll post more as i enjoy her!

    I took her for a drive with a GoPro, except had the GoPro on camera instead of video (DUH!!) so will post a few vids of the car in action soon. She absolutely screams! Came with factory exhaust with the bypass valves disconnected, just intoxicating how she wails!!

    Congrats Jake! Enjoy in good health! Love the color combo especially the seats. After seeing your engine bay, i may have to look for some carbon fiber sections!

    Thanks!! I'll take a few more pics of it tomorrow. I agree, it really sets off the engine bay for sure. Looks like Exotic Car Gear sells the engine bay cf
