    I love that color

    I own a 2004 in Ferrari’s trademark red and tan interior that I added the scuderia exhaust after I bought it.

    I’m tge 2nd Vj owner and have had it 9 years now.

    I also have one of the only original Dark blue metallic/sparkle convertible Mondial t’s I’ve ever seen and it has a gorgeous Glove interior.

    The 360 is my dream car for the same reasons. Looks so modern yet classic. Congrats!

    Yes, I almost didn't find it! I typically use autotrader and cars.com, and have regular searches that I monitor for new listings. I had been looking through the entire photo gallery of "show me your 360" and caught a photo of @Robb 's car, which fit the bill for me and the wife on color. I typed the color in google and surprisingly found this one on sale! I am also only the third owner, which is pretty rare for a 20 year old car :)

    I actually looked fairly hard into the California and 612 Scaglietti because I wanted the extra seats. I am fairly tall and after seeing enough Californias, I realized I would never squeeze all four of us in there. I've not run across a 612 in person in years, so it was hard to determine if they were going to fit. Then I started optioning a 612 the way I wanted it, and it was hitting 599 money. With that I decided I would keep the M5 and use it for the 'routine' family outings and then have a 2-seater for the 'fun' outings. Maybe a V12 with 4 seats one day if I can ever afford two!

    Nice color as well! I really appreciate interesting specs.

    Hope so!

    Congratulations!
    Those Challenge wheels are the cherry on top
    (Confidentially, I think your car looks super-sleek without the shields. Lines are simply gorgeous!)
    Have fun!

    Had a 2004 360 stick, same color combo. Loved it, fun car to drive. Added a Tubi Exhaust system, sounded awesome. Enjoy your first ferrari.

    Hi Brendan, very cool to see! Is this by chance your car?
    Rosso Barchetta 360 Registry

    If not, I’d love it if you had any info on the car so I can add it to the list of Rosso Barchetta 360s I’ve been tracking down.

    Thank you!

    Fully agree: what a deep and very stylish colour! What’s the name of the colour?

    The Challenge wheels look great… much better than the standard wheels!
