I have placed a call to Ferrari OF SF to try and confirm your stories but nothing seems to hold water yet !!! Imagine that !!!
hey ol' speedy slow down there just quoting your service manager, call him and get your stories straight. i dont recall you mentioning the accident when you told me about the car not a word... must have slipped your mind
Patrick Richart, I just pulled up my notes on your car, your service man was quite explicit about the extent of the damage to the bumper and RR quarter, and that you were waiting for the insurance appraiser to authorise the repair... if it was a perfect fix at $2k, why would a man of your means file a claim? you told me about your Enzo, your 599, your cgt, etc so this repair is just pocket change for such a player as you. you told me yourself about FoSF and the blown clutch. values for damaged and properly repaired ferrari's are generally 15-20% below perfect car market value. I got that rule of thumb from Dave at Premier, and others in the market, and the sale of marc yahr's car by the original owner at $175k with 4K miles bears that out. the value of your car is whatever the market will bear.
Maybe he forgot...........again. It is becoming apparent that in the Stradale world there are no secrets.
Are there stories with this car at Motorcars Intl? http://www.motorcars-intl.com/vehicle_details.aspx?id=611&CAR=Challenge%20Stradale
That Ferrari is the same color and interior trim combination as the Motor Trend test car. The MT car was suffering from a less than perfect clutch so it could not deliver it's true speed potential when flogged against the Porsche GT3... They still liked it better than the Porsche; especially the Ferrari carbon brakes. CH
How many cs with black wheels? Anyone know the car? http://www.wreckedexotics.com/newphotos/exotics/360_20080115_002.shtml http://www.wreckedexotics.com/newphotos/exotics/360_20080115_001.shtml
I believe there was a member on Fchat with a stradale that looked very similiar to that one...hope he/shes alright.
Is this the same car? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Ferrari-360-Stradale-2004-Ferrari-360-Challenge-Stradale_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ84156QQihZ007QQitemZ170214530372QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW I looks like it could be since it has the same interior (with the same alcantra/leather colors and mix, same warning sticker still on the console, no radio and no fire ex.) I have to think there is some story on this car, or it would have sold by now (it's been on Ebay multiple times).
Unfortunatley that was my car. Terrible day but fortunately I nor anyone else was hurt. I do have some good news though, I am picking up my new CS on Saturday. Can't wait.
A happy ending.......congrats on your new CS........specs? Wasn't there recently another wrecked CS in NY with similar blacked out wheels? Maybe 6 months ago?
Not sure about the other CS wrecked. I cannot believe that I just read that you sold your Giallo CS. I was bidding against you on that car Kuzi. I begged Tom from Motorcars Las Vegas to give it to me but you alraeady snagged it. I would have given you the money now if it new it was for sale. Glad it went to you though. By the way, I love your collection. New CS specs are: Silver No Stripe Black full alcantera witrh red stitching 5100 miles one owner
lol........a small world it is indeed.......for CS owners. I still get to see it every once in a while as it went to a close friend of mine up here.
Yes it is. You are a very fortunate that you get to see it once in a while. It is truly an amazing combination and if I could have found one I would have passed up the silver. Maybe I will find one in the near future. Let your friend know that when he is ready to sell to shoot me a PM.....LOL. Great to finally talk/write. Keep up the good work on the collection.
I tell you, instead of bidding against each other, the Ferrarichatters should collaborate and do a rock paper scissors on each car to decide who gets it!
