    Price no object? Either a p3 or a pontoon fender testa rossa. I can't decide .You pick for me. On second thought, I'll take both.

    Sure. I lost my flight medical after military retirement and two years in Afghanistan. After six years, I was able to obtain again and went to work as an airline pilot; this was a huge step for me.

    During a 30-hour layover in STL, I was walking back to my hotel with Walmart bags full of dinner when I spotted this 308 on a dark showroom floor. I stopped. I made an offer with t-shirt and Walmart bags in hand. Car shipped three weeks later. It was meant to be.

    Price isn't the object, it's convincing my wife that I need another one, and finding one that is RHD!

    You can have whatever you want, and you want one that's defective?? :D




    There are actually several RHD cars I'd like, if only for the "whaaaaat?!?!?!" factor

    Only one, then it needs to be a V12, with a manual gearbox, and a convertible.

    F50.

    Then I just saw the perfect car for you - I've been watching the Thomas Crown Affair on TV (for the umpteenth time - I never tire of that film):

    Red 250 GT California Spider all the way. I know it's cliche but I'll get over it.

    I'd like to answer this for myself and the for three clients who do not do FERRARI CHAT but answered the question when I asked. My personal favorite Ferrari is the one I am building or restoring at the time for myself or someone else. The three listed below are today's favorite. I just can't choose so am listing all three favorites.
    The favorite of one of our friends who lusted after a NART Spider for 35 years until we found a new alloy body for one in Italy and he is having us re-body a 550 Maranello chassis with the 550 Maranello drive-train. That will always be his favorite he says.
    A friend I met in Houston lusted after the 275 Comp Coupe 06701 that sold at auction about 5 years ago for $25,000,000. That was his favorite. He lucked into an original Comp coupe body and that one he said would fulfill his dream if we used also a 550 Maranello donor but put it on an earlier chassis. That is being built for him also.
    The third and maybe the most extreme favorite Ferrari is a 340MM Touring barchetta. This one is being built to fulfill this friend's dream using a body made by Fantuzzi in 1970 during the original car's restoration. The body came off when the owner went to Ferrari to certify the car about 2005. The car won the Mille Miglia in Italy in 1999 with this body though Ferrari said the car was born with a Vignale body. Off came the Touring body until we found it in 2015. The right guys in Italy built a new Lampredi motor and tranny for him and the chassis is underway.
    That outlines 4 guys' favorites. Thought since all of us "gearheads" are fickle around Ferraris, our favorite can change 10 minutes from now.

    I would say F40 or F50. I would like to drive each back to back and then I could really make my decision.

    I would love them to do a brand new 275 GTB long nose alloy body (this way no one says they ruined a historic car) over a CF tub with the 812 V12 and tranny

    Modern suspension/brakes/electronics

    Interior adapted from the Roma

    365 GTS/4 Daytona Spyder or a 288 GTO. Really an impossible decision to choose only one Ferrari.

    I just want a 458 Italia. Rosso Corsa and Nero interior. As much Carbon Fiber as possible. One is currently listed as for sale in Southern California (ZFF67NFA5E0197601) but when I called to ask about it they said it had just been sold over the weekend. I've never been more crushed...
