Outstanding!

 

The cars are so nice when new! Full horsepower, wheels spin freely, no dings or dents!! Enjoy in great health!

 

Doesn't last too long unfortunately

 

I see you are running with R3. Will you be at Road America?

 

Brand new from the factory? Mine just arrived too, but it was a factory “demo”. Didn’t think they were making any new ones until November. Congrats and hope to see you at Road America.

Use it well and enjoy, Joe!
BTW, I believe the Speedline wheels were Challenge-spec from the 1995 season onward, although the big brakes are indeed non-original.

 

That's a beautiful 348 Challenge you parted with, Ira.

Congratulations, Joe! Drive it in good health.

Barry- Old age (mine, not the car's) is taking its toll. In any case, Joe will give it a good home.

Super cool. Congrats Joe!

 

Congrats Joe! Will you be keeping it in FL or up north? Would love the opportunity to see it at Lime Rock on track with my 348 Challenge!

 

Thanks guys. I’m happy to have become its latest steward and look forward to showing and lightly tracking it. The car is going in for a major service and some cosmetics then it’ll be shipped to NY along with the yellow 355 challenge evo I’m going through. I plan to use both at the various major tracks up North such as Lime Rock, Watkins Glen, Mid OH, and VIR. Looking forward to seeing several of you and your cars too!

 

I'm looking forward to that, Joe.

 

Post some pics of whatever work is getting done, if you don't mind, and then the finished product! Look forward to meeting you at Lime Rock or Watkins Glen! I live just a few miles from Lime Rock- would be glad to host a small gathering. Barry regularly is up there for the Empire State Region FCA track event, along with a a number of other 355 Challenge cars and newer ones as well.

 

So far it’s fluids have been flushed, adjusted seat so I can (sort of) fit in the car, classiche pre-inspection to figure out what I need to correct, some paint work to address minor cosmetic flaws, cut/buff the rest of it in preparation for period livery (kept a couple things that looked correct but the rest is being redone to when it last ran in Mugello, and had the wheels stripped inspected and refinished. Ferrari traded them out today as the 348 is going in for generally the same treatment. I suspect my neighbors will be happy when the race cars are gone for the summer as I’m getting more annoyed looks than before.

Nicely done, Joe!

I like that red beast in the background

Here's our 2012 458C. After a close encounter with a barrier at COTA, we decided to change up the livery a bit on the recostruction. She's ready to head back to the Image Unavailable, Please Login track.

 

It looks great.
