    Hello all!
    I’m shopping for a 360/430 preferably manual. Hard to find seems like.
    What is the consensus about buying a good F1 and have a manual conversion done (about $30k with all OEM parts). Would it hurt the resale value?

    Not all the parts are actually available new from Ferrari. A rising number of items are NLA. You’re best bet is to get a complete kit from a dismantler off a nice low mile manual car.

    IMHO if you're worried about resale buy it manual to begin with.

    On the other hand if you're looking for a forever car with the perfect spec for your taste, better to buy and convert than to accept a car with your 2nd or 3rd choice color combo, etc.

    Highly doubt it’s worth converting a 360. Plenty of them around if you are patient. The 430 is a different story.

    I agree about the 360. Not worth it. A 430 on the other hand...
