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? Sent from my MI 8 Lite using FerrariChat.com mobile app
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. Sent from my iPhone using FerrariChat
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.
Are you sure it is a gto ? that is the question ! I wrote to you on Instagram just now. Anybody in HK can enlighten us about the VIN ? And do you know how old are these pictures ?
The pictures are very recent indeed, and I'm now convinced that it's a GTB. Should have checked more before posting, my bad. Sent from my MI 8 Lite using FerrariChat.com mobile app
I have confirmed that it is in fact a conversion to manual and a conversion to a GTO. Build Number: 157964 Sent from my MI 8 Lite using FerrariChat.com mobile app
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.
Looking forward to seeing pictures of the car once it's finished! I'd love to post it on my page! Sent from my MI 8 Lite using FerrariChat.com mobile app
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.
Well, now EAG has another black/black 2007 599 for gated manual conversion, as mine was dropped off on Saturday, Feb. 27th. Zara, look me up [email protected]
Image Unavailable, Please Login I found that picture of # 172283 but it is supposed to be Rosso Rubino, so is it the real car ??
Hi, Not sure if it has been confirmed before: 150624 >> original F1 car 151145 >> original F1 car 151243 >> original F1 car 156769 >> original F1 car 156075 >> original manual car Hope this helps.
Any pics and/or more info about 156616? I have this car is car as a MY07 US car with F1 gearbox, but I also have records - from this thread I guess - as being manual.
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.
599 GTB Manual: Rosso Scuderia with beige interior. For sale at Scuderia Praha (official dealer in the Czech Republic) in 2016/7, asking approximately 640,000 USD.
Interesting example! It's got an ordinary, but quite unique in closer inspection, spec. The article about the car for reference. https://www.scuderiapraha.cz/aktuality/259/ Image Unavailable, Please Login Sent from my MI 8 Lite using FerrariChat.com mobile app
