    Thanks to all who participated in my last request, and all those aho take the time to participate in this fabulous forum. I had a truly surreal experience today after purchasing ny first ferrari. I went to san diego to pick the car up from symbolic motors who did the ppi on it. The outcome was concours quality with the need for cv boots, slight oil in the spark plug holes on bank #2, good compression 195 -210 lbs and all mechanisms functioning properly.
    I am not a flashy guy, merely a motor sports enthusiast. This is one amazing automobile.
    I should of gotten one of these years ago. I havent been so excited about anything in years.
    Since I started with sandcars.
    Once again thanks to all for opening your forum to me.

    Wow, that is one hell of a good looking car.

    First time I've ever seen a pic of one with the headlights up.

    I like it!

    Enjoy her in the best of health and drive the crap out of her!

    Lee at symbolic mentioned o-rings that should be replaced, something to do with the valve cover assemblies. He said nothing to worry about immediately. I will have it taken care of when the fluid service, cv boots, brake fluid flush, valve adjustment and the valve cover gaskets. As soon as I find a Dealer worthy of the car. any recommendations. I was told beverly hills has a great service department, but I am 3.5 hours from them.
    thanks
