    I'd still be waiting for my unicorn if I was not flexible.... Had mine almost 2 years and very happy. Just did not get my preferred color combo, but love it now.

    Which category(s) are you willing to be flexible on from your initial list?

    The miles on the '95 red B would not scare me away. But I don't know any details on these.

    Hi There! I live down under and spent 5 years looking for my baby. Red with tan 6speed GTB factory right hand drive and original Australian delivery with full books and records plus all keys and fobs etc. She was due for her major and a few other things but i simply would not compromise. 5 years remember..... If you know what you want,its a case of waiting until you can become the next custodian of one of these. It seems all the money in the world wont help you until one comes up. The 355 in certain configurations is almost priceless.. Good luck and just hang in there. Dont loose sight of the dream car.

    I don't know anything about that car. The OP said he was looking for a non red stick and I found that one.

    Anyone looking to sell or know of someone?

    I've searched all the usual places, but would love to buy a car from an enthusiast who's ready to move on to something else.

    Thanks in advance for all the help!

    You are probably right but check. I didn't read the description earlier.

    The new windshield and F1 I think are the links.

    I know there are several folks looking for GTBs -- but I'm still optimistic to find one to bring home!

    If you're thinking about selling or know of a good lead, please PM me.

    Bump! Any new private leads?

    The activity on GTB/GTS has been really low the last couple months (which I'm not surprised by)...

    In the US I don't think what you are looking for actually hits the market. They sell privately or dealers who acquire them sell them to known customers without ever being listed publicly.

    That is just my educated by Fchat guess of why you aren't finding anything. I do believe these are trading hands at prices that the naysayers would not believe.

    Chris, I hate to say it but you might have to stalk a car, meet the owner, get him to like you, then harass him to sell for a year or three. That was the only way I able to buy my ex-E30 M3, and that was way, way before the rush.

    Really glad to see you're still on the hunt! Be patient.

    I will also add as these become more valuable and harder to find the difference in mileage of 20k to 40k becomes less significant from a value standpoint. Parts can be refurbished but you cant make a spider a gtb/gts.

    So don't be hung up on mileage if you find elusive spec you are hunting for.
