275 GTB/4

 

328 GTS!

 

totally dude!

 

288 GTO, the one off the floor of the Ferrari museum.

 

My heart says 250 GT SWB

My head says F40

My future bank balance says 550 or 355

 

275 GTS/4, classic front engine V-12 with the open top.

 

430 scuderia, the best!

 

Dino 206 Sp.

 

F50 GT
the sound....

 

That's O.K., Manny - you take 250GT0 #3223, and I'll have P4 #0856 (over both the current owners' trampled bodies).

 

Reality has me with the early Testarossa.

It has 12 cylinders. It was made in the Enzo Ferrari days (if toward the last of days). It is semi-exotic still today, but you can drive it on the street. It has none of this nonsense of paddle shifters and over-boosted power steering and electronic driver aids.

I can afford it...even if it is a little expensive to maintain. Financial reality says that just the interest on a $275,000 GTB/4 would more than offset what I spend to keep the TR.

It will probably be with me through the rest of the driving days - although I have recently been thinking about a Mondial T Cab to go with it.

 

"semi-exotic" <-- if a ferrari testarossa is considered semi-exotic to you then what do you consider normal-exotic?!?!?!?

 

Oh, say something RED that has at least 12 cylinders, makes young boys and teenage girls tip school busses over to get a cam-phone shot, goes vroom-vroom when you push on the go;;;;

Wait, what was your exact question again?

 

so a red oldsmobile 88?

 

I beg your pardon, I believe I carefully said 12 cylinders -

but the Belgian Princess de Rethy did have a well optioned red oldsmobile 88 wagon (besides all the Ferrari specials) as I recall. And she was the fashion standard for Jackie O in her day.

 

F50, mid-engine, 12-cylinder, open top, extremely gorgeous, very rare, track or street weapon, simply insane:

 

Scratch the wagon queen - it was dark blue, not maroon like I remembered -

An authentic 1947 Ferrari 125 S1, so everyone here would wish they were me!

This is not an easy question. I haven't seen many of the most desireable Ferraris, much less spent time with or driven them. However, I decided to give it a shot... by referring to my best Ferrari books. However, there may be some cars that my resources just don't cover.

Lots of criteria to consider among all Fcars... Driving pleasure, Competitive on the track, Groundbreaking design, Vintage appeal and Craftsmanship, Beauty, Impact on Ferrari's factory racing success, etc. For me, it just comes down to which car would I feel the most thrill of knowing that it was in my garage and was mine!

Contenders;

Formula - 1512, '66 312, 312T
Sports Racing - 166MM Touring Barchetta, 375MM Pininfarina Spider, Dino 206S/P (unfortunately not a V12), 250P, 330P4, 312PB, 512S
Production - LWB California Spyder, 400 Superamerica Cabriolet, 410 Superamerica, Daytona Spyder

Picking one is TOUGH, but I'd probably have to pick the 166MM... A lovely, graceful, vintage Ferrari with a small jewel of a V12... emblematic of Ferrari's early years as a Company. Having that piece of Ferrari history in my garage would be a real thrill!!

However, this is all hypothetical.... I may change my view if I had a chance to really spend time with all of these, and other amazing Ferraris...
