    Fwiw, talk to Greg at LFSC, a very honest and qualified Ferrari mechanic in that organization. I hold him and the rest of their staffs in high regards.

    If you were talking to Adam Mancuso, he is the owners son. He is a really nice guy, who is very straight up with you about cars. That whole family is, judging from whom I have spoken to there, including Rick the owner. I bought my car from them over 5 1/2 years ago and have not had any problems with it at all. That family has been in the Automobile Business here in the Chicago area for something like 75 years. You don't build a reputation like that selling bad cars. I wouldn't worry if I were you.

    If they have had it for over a few months, I've sat in it. No challenge grill, if I recall...
    Nice car (cosmetically...) ... I have no idea about records, etc.

    BTW... nice profile, but... can't you get arrested for stuff like that?????

    Would you still like the car to be looked at? I can swing by there tomorrow and grab some higher-res photos for you.

    hello,

    that car has been there for many, many months. there is a similar 355F1 @ continental autosports (lake forest sportscars rival in the chicagoland area) that has also been sitting at there dealership for quite some time. i've been to both dealerships, LFSC are friendlier, AutoSports prices (advertised) seem more market correct. they both get great reviews on f-chat, so you probably couldn't go wrong with either.

    www.continentalautosports.com if you want to view their yellow/black 355.
    keep us posted.

    cheers,

    joseph

    I'm surprised. Continental is a pretty good dealership too.
