Its been a while since I've posted, but I had to offer my sincere thanks as well to stokpro! He was the source of much solid advice during my long search for the right CS. A real asset to the CS community.
It's good everyone at Ferrarichat knows about the history of this car, but I feel sorry for the guy who is gonna buy this without knowing the real history. "The Challenge Stradale marked the final 360 model and it was the highest performance street legal variant of the series with cutting edge race bred features including carbon ceramic brakes derived from the Enzo, race tuned suspension, aerodynamic tweaks, reduced weight, increased engine output (now 420hp) and updated software for the F1 6-speed gearbox. The Challenge Stradale is simply amazing and a thrill to drive. This example has only 13,000 original miles, the annual service was just completed this month by Ferrari Technologies in Orange, CA. Clutch life was measured with over 70% remaining. Rear bumper was previously replaced. Clean CARFAX and Autocheck history." I wouldn't describe this as "rear bumper was replaced" Challenge-Stradale.com - Ferrari 360 CS VIN 138421 Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
Wasn't this the car that was wrecked at the track, shortly after it was purchased a couple of years ago?
It's up for consignment in Las Vegas (home). Wish I could attend some of these events but I will not be home......again. I need to find a job in Vegas so I can participate in life. lol
When I was in the market before I bought mine, I saw this car for sale ~$110K. It doesn't sound like there were any willing buyers at that price so I would guess <$100K. After the accident it sold in the $80K range so I would guess somewhere between the two. Assuming the $90's that would make a smokin' track car for someone. There have been cars with salvage titles sell for that range so this would probably be well bought in the ~$95K range considering it does NOT have a salvage title.
INCREDIBLY happy to finally join the CS family. I acquired this car earlier this month and it just got here about a week ago. I bought it from THonda who was a real pleasure to work with. Image Unavailable, Please Login
Looks clean. Are you going to keep the aftermarket stripe on it? My buddy removed his decal on a CS and it left an imprint in the paint. He believes it was attributed to the car being in a sunnier/warmer climate.
I plan on leaving the stripe on just for that reason. I can't imagine the paint not being somewhat faded except where the stripe is. At least for now, I like the look of it.
355 Spider I love the look of the 355 (spiders or coupes) but the potential maintenance issues keep me away. Having said that, I'm looking at 4 seat F cars (Mondial) that I hear have similar issues...lol, (somebody please talk me out of this). You have beautiful cars and a very nice garage, congrats.
Congrats, what a beauty and a gorgeous collection. It is good to see another CS that has actually been driven. Hiro
