    Charlie it was my pleasure making the dream happen. I'm glad you did your research and we were able to work together cohesively and honestly. Clients like you make my career a pleasure, not a job. Couldn't be happier for you. The spec on that 360 is so unique, what a stunning combination...

    Buddy you smacked it out of the park on that spec! That is a rare rare bird!

    Barchetta is one of my all time favorite reds for a Ferrari... Plus cuoio!!!!

    What a knock out.

    I'm sure you won't remember this... But if you ever sell it look me up. That would be a great car to have!

    Enjoy it and congratulations on your Ferrari! Many great memories ahead!

    Thanks again Matt! Appreciate all your help through the process, especially when doing everything from halfway across the country. I wish there was a double like for your post :)

    Thanks and I will do my best to remember! I did some research on the color, and found someone had quoted 14 total Rosso Barchetta 360s made, plus 1 CS. I went on the hunt, and have identified 9 of them and the CS (mostly from for sale ads and this site). Still looking for the last few, and may make a separate post to see if I can find them.

    Listen to the wife. Can't go wrong!

    That's just a gorgeous color. Max congrats! I still remember how excited we were 5+ years ago when they delivered our avorio California to Boardwalk. I hope you and your family are likewise excited and never lose that feeling.

    Looking forward to seeing that beauty around town.

    Whoever gets their chores done faster, gets to ride in the F-car with pop!

    There's nothing better than sharing the Ferrari dream with friends and family.

    Now here’s a great idea! I read the entire thread on “how do I justify a Ferrari to my wife”
    https://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/threads/how-can-i-justify-a-ferrari-to-my-wife.634676/

    which is full of entertainment, a little good advice, and some less good advice. No one proposed “I need a Ferrari so that I can incentivize the kids to do the chores” so maybe that needs to be added :)

    Beautiful Spec!! Love the combo....& yes, the memories last forever. I still remember going with my father as an 11 year old to Massachusetts to pickup his 74' Dino spyder..It started snowing on the way home. Thats the day I got hooked on Ferrari's.....

    Congratulations on joining the family! Our stories are similar and I, too, just joined back in September of last year. The car is gorgeous, and your kids are downright adorable.

    Enjoy in good health!!!

    Congrats- I was following that car on CarGurus and was interested in it. I loved that it had been driven and it looked like an honest car with good maintenance recently done. That color combo is killer, and I might add more akin to something Enzo himself would’ve driven (“like the color of ripening cherries”) so it’s a Ferrari thru and thru!

    Congratulations! I had a Nero 3 pedal coupe. Loved the car. It handles well and still has great capability. In my opinion, it has maintained the classic Ferrari styling. Enjoy!

    Beautiful first Ferrari and love the color! Red (referred to as Arrest Me Red or Resale Red) is not mandatory. For your next, consider a FF, complete with the V12 sound, just no convertible, and look for one with the glass roof so the back seaters enjoy the ride too! I've had 3 Californias (one a T), 2 FF's , and now a Portofino and a GTC4Lusso, the top down is great but the V12 sound is really addicting. All the best with your car! Modern Ferraris are simply amazing. Both of my cars are daily drivers here in NW Ohio so you certainly can do that too in southern California without needing snow tires like I have :).
