    This is very sad. I have done business with Benny for over 30 years and he was the most honest and loyal man I have ever met. I bought my 430 from him. He will be missed.

    I don't even know the man, but seeing you on YouTube with an interview on Garage 419, Awesome!! Rest in peace Mr.Caiola. You and I share the same passion for cars like Ferrari's except that I cannot afford any of them, but I do loved Ferrari. FXX, Enzo, F50, F40, and 288 GTO. You're right sir, if you have these you don't sell them.

    Death sucks! I remember reading a story about him of having two Enzo's and having the first LP-560 in the States...we can all appreciate the dedication he had to cars. I'm sure he was a good guy overall

    RIP

    Jim, thank you for starting this thread honoring my Uncle Benny. I was fortunate to be with him yesterday before he passed away this morning. The family has requested no flowers please. If anyone wants to know the arrangements please email me privately. Thanks for the condolences.

    Rest in peace. I only met him once over a few days in Florida on the track. He was the funniest guy ever, joking all the time.

    Rest in peace Benny. Very sad to hear about this :( He was the one who gave me my first ride in an Enzo when I was younger and was always an extremely generous and great person to be around.

    Very sorry to hear...I saw him once at Lime Rock at an FCA track event, had his Zonda there. Great man, and a truly inspiring collection. Godspeed.
