    Really? Looks so different from the Prugna that I've seen on Mondials, 328s, etc.

    That isn't Prugna. Assuming the colour is accurate in the pictures then it must be some sort of custom colour as it is too light for any of the standard Ferrari metallic reds.

    Exactly what jtremlett said. That is NOT Prugna. That is some sort of custom color, maybe a repaint? I've never seen it before.

    I'm on my mobile device so I cannot do it-- but can someone post a few pics of Prugna cars (which I easily found yesterday using the search) so that we can compare the two? Really, the two aren't even close. Again, no sticker in the engine bonnet so how else can the color be verified?

    No but I could. I believe it's on their site. What can we do with it? (Carfax is clean. Ha -- like that ever stopped a cheat.)

    Here's a 328 in rosso metallizzato - I saw this one in person and verified (at Marshall Goldman a couple years ago).

    Yes, but no way to determine color from a VIN...

    Here is a Prugna 308 (my own photo, but not my car). I think it is pretty clearly not the same colour as the 355 in question. FWIW when the same car was previously for sale the colour was listed as Rosso Rubino, which is also clearly not right.

    Nice pic. Thank you for that. First pic of a Prugna car in the sun that I've seen.

    Well, I think we might want to see a few more pics of cars in Rosso Metallizzato. I couldn't find any in the search, but then again my search skills are inferior to that of some folks on here.

    Have we ruled out Rosso Fiorano?

    Here's a pretty neat web site.
    http://www.ferrari-collection.net/color/ferrari_colors.htm

    According to that web site (which we cannot be positive is accurate), the 328 posted by Bullfighter is Rosso Metallico, not Rosso Metallizzato. Again, I don't mean to question Bullfighter -- just trying to introduce additional clues to this mystery. I don't even know if "Rosso Metallico" is a real color.

    Of course, there's also our own thread here, indicating all Ferrari colors. Again, "Rosso Metallico" not listed. Only "Rosso Met."
    http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/showthread.php?t=48214&highlight=ferrari+colours

    According to the below web site, the 1955 410 Superamerica is Rosso Metallizzato. Seems like a very good picture. Also looks similar to the Rosso Metallizzato posted at the ferrari-collection web site.

    Yes, interesting car. The Mary Kay-mobile of classic Ferraris. I'm not certain Marshall Goldman had it right, and I've never seen another one this color, so feel free to correct. There is only one rosso metallic color listed in Bluemel -- and it may well have changed for the 355.

    However the 355 up top is not prugna.
