Anyone know Fantasy Junction in Cali?

Dood, will you buy a ****ing car already? Geeze Louise, you're worse than Eurotrash ever was.

They have nice stuff but pricey in the classic P world anyway.

 

They are just cars, nothing more, nothing less. No, let me rephrase that, the cars you are looking at are just old cars, nothing more, nothing less. Frankly, the average 550 or 456 is in better shape today than when it left the factory. Bottom line, if you are looking for a 10+ year old sports car where everything works, buy a Porsche.

PS Fantasy Junction was probably selling Ferraris when you were wearing diapers.

 

I purchased my 1975 GT4 from them in April. Very good people and a first class operation.

I wouldn't hesitate to buy from them again.

Pull the trigger and live a little.

Yeah I know them. That car looks great. It's safe to buy sight unseen from them.

 

They are 45 minutes north of where I live. I just drove up and checked it out myself. They let me drive it and put it up on their lift to look under the car.

 

If that car was there in April, I saw it. It was very sharp. I was thinking of buying it myself.

 

I think the problem is, you're looking at 550's, 360's, 355's, 456's.... pretty much every model. And... you're thinking of buying a certain color based on what a dealer told you.... and.... You would be better off, thinking about what you want, what color, what options; and find that car, rather than chasing every Ferrari out there.

 

It's one thing to ask a question or two, another to be posting threads in all sorts of different subforums and regional forums on this board without even being subscribed. Enthusiasm of the chase is understandable. But show some respect to the board and subscribe already.

Enough of the dog-piling on...well....Dog.

He's genuinely looking for a car, asking questions on an enthusiast's board.

Guys: if you don't want to help him, ignore his threads.

As mentioned above I took years to find a car and yes, I got an outstanding car that has not given me one lick of trouble in 3.5 years.

Dog: no reason to rush your purchase, ignore these guys.

 

A 456 was a flagship car at the time, it'll be optioned nicely, as will most 550s and 575s.

A green Ferrari you will not sell easily, in the future... but I have seen several and like you think it's a rather cool color on the car! You could do the Saint Patricks Parade every year with some hot tuna riding shotgun.

This dealer is very well known, to address your post.

That's a really nice 360 Stradale that just hit FerrariAds, 4K miles and flawless.

I like the stick shift for myself.

Come down to Franco's Party next month and spend some time tire kicking all the models.
Maybe Dr. Who will show up and we could all cheer him up a little...

Hey dog, you know you can have a lot of fun NOT buying a Ferrari Don't you?

Dog,

I think you are doing what it takes to avoid having a major case of buyer's remorse when you eventually buy your Ferrari.

I prefer the 550 over the 456, but the 456 is a stunning design in it's own right.
For a 2+2, it is a head turner.

Good luck on your search.

 

LOL.

And, the Uro garage remains Ferrari-less to this day (but only on a technicality).

 

There's a sleeper BLUE 456 in NYC that might be available.

The guy's wife rescinded "permission" once he brought it in....

 

Ouch <rolling on the floor holding my e-balls>

 

Here's some frozen peas, use that.....

 

You know.....(just thinking out loud here)...the one thing about your approach to the market (using ads and dealers) is that with a Ferrari, that's not ALWAYS the way to get a 'good one"....furthermore, that's where a lot of "seven owners, missing the key fobs, we don't know the last time it was REALLY serviced but its CLEAN CLEAN CLEAN!!!" kind of cars end up, looking for new homes.

IF you spend time 'chatting up locals" here or at FCA gatherings, you often find entusiasts that either trade yearly, or own multiple examples, or for other reasons are letting go of great cars that have been 'always stored inside and only driven on sunny days and polished with a Groits Garage microfiber towel that is then thrown away and here's every receipt for every time a mechanic touched the oil pan plug".

And usually you won't pay any MORE for these examples, and in fact by avoiding a dealer altogether it'll usually be less.

Now, in some of your posts you seem concerned about "Warranty' and Service Guarantees and stuff like that. That's not usuall y present in the 'used Ferrari" market, or any exotic for that matter. You buy the one you like, and if next week the engine blows or it's consumed in a MASSIVE fireball, well.....you stop.....drop....and roll, man!

HTH
