    That one even has the correct shifter plate with shift pattern.

    There was someone in here some time ago discussing about a manual GTO..maybe he was referring to this one?

    This is a fantastic car, and the owner has gone to great lengths to make it a manual GTO. It is however based on a GTB.

    There is a GTO that has been converted to manual, but they’ve not managed to get all the electronics working. It’s frustrating, as I know that it can be done if they talk to the right people, but there seems to be professional pride getting in the way of that happening.

    You'd think by now Ferrari could announce an obscenely priced factory "Manuale" conversion offering. Clearly there's a market. But they've never revisited old models other than Classiche drunk money red binders for sale.

    The pictures are very recent indeed, and I'm now convinced that it's a GTB. Should have checked more before posting, my bad.

    I’m flying home after hanging out at EAG in San Antonio and dropping off my new (to me) 2007 black/black 599 for the transmission upgrade. Covid forced Art and his engineering team to fabricate their own parts when Ferrari was no help. In the process they’ve seriously improved many of the parts and the shift action is noticeably better than stock. Little things like billet instead of cast, aircraft quality plastic, numerous little tweaks here and there. Looking forward to sharing review when done. Hats off to those ambitious engineers and enthusiasts at EAG for giving those lame (to me) paddle cars a whole new personality.

    It's amusing the 599 manual was initially maligned, then its rarity found marketplace value.
    Oscar Wilde's "imitation is the sincerest form of flattery" has now spawned gated aftermarket conversions:
    https://www.gatedsix.com/forsale
    Similarly, I remember when everyone wanted a Daytona spider when their values skyrocketed compared to the coupes.
    Sheehan and Straman started chopping Daytonas for substantial money. Unfortunately, owners found out their newly chopped Daytona was worth the same if not less than a coupe, which will be the fate of gated conversions.
    I applaud the gated conversion industry! I was worried parts for the original factory manuals would dry-up and now some really good outfits are filling the parts bin.

    Merci, I thought so but was not sure. Regarding #156075, it was for sale in Prague in March 2016, that's all I know.

    Recorded on F-R as a manual, maybe wrong, this is why I put a cross after each car identified for sure

    Zaza I think you forgot 156075 on your very last update

    And 156616 can definitely be removed from the list of gated 599, it’s an F1 car.

    I’ve also been told there’s only one manual 599 with LHD ME specs. No more info though.
