Gated Manual 360 Coupes - Modena Market

i was under the impression 360 manual 6 speeds were rare:

"There were 4,199 built for the US market—1,810 Modenas (coupes) and 2,389 Spiders (convertibles). Of those numbers, there were only 469 Modenas and 670 Spiders that were produced with a gated 6-speed manual transmission as opposed to the "F1" single-clutch automated manual transmission."

this would make them about as rare as challenge stradale. is this not true?

 

consensus is that there were only 469 Modena six speeds sent to the US market. That translates to they're rare cars in the US. How many got totaled in the first year of their life? Second year?
I then extrapolate, after all these years, how many of the 469 in the US are left?

 

actually 146 plus 5K fee plus shipping home.

 

Gated modena more rare than skud and cs??

 

There were also a ton of EU examples brought to the US and made road legal here in the first few years of production, which is why you see EU-spec models pop up every now and then. Many totaled ones have been rebuilt, I'd imagine not many 360s are completely scrapped.

 

Worldwide production: There were more gated modenas (2,630) than CS (1,288 units). But there were even more Scud (estimated ~3,000, I'd say more)

However I don't know how many came to the US. I live in Europe.

 

Wonder what the gated vs cs numbers were for just us cars?

 

Mine is a converted Euro. It's awesome. Lighter bumpers and as a 99' the way it was meant to be. Someone paid $$$$$ to have mine imported and converted in 99.

 

Oh I know, those conversions + import fees and testing weren't cheap. I recently looked into importing a 360 from the middle east (was $40k USD), but conversion and taxes and fees made something like $65k, which you can sometimes find F1 Modenas for anyways. Wasn't worth the risk.

 

My exact words that you quoted were “almost 30% of production were manual.”

You just said the same thing, giving the exact numbers which are just short of 30% of production.

I don’t consider that to be particularly rare, further evidenced by BaT’s recent ability to throw them out there one after another, but maybe you feel otherwise, which is fine. It’s okay to have a difference of opinion, especially as we are in agreement about the facts of the matter.

 

yeah i would consider anything under 1000 rare
challenge stradale 1288
F12TDF 799
my F12berlinetta isn't particularly rare but man have the prices skyrocketed

 

How many us cars have been imported to other countries?

 

I doubt the number that are crashed and have been parted-out/totaled is less than 10%.

 

You think it’s over 10%?

That’s a lot of cars.

 

Will be much cheaper once they hit the 25yr mark.

 

300 is the generally accepted number for CS's imported to the US. Can't comment on the 360

 

Hey all. Doing some due diligence on gated 2002 360 with ~50k miles.

I’ve had a compression test done and wanting to understand if these tolerances are acceptable or if I should investigate further (eg leakdown)

Cyl 1 - 175psi
Cyl 2 - 180psi
Cyl 3 - 170psi
Cyl 4 - 160psi
Cyl 5 - 165psi
Cyl 6 - 168psi
Cyl 7 - 175psi
Cyl 8 - 175psi

Oh I know, I had a 25 year old JDM import a few years ago. I don't think I'd complain about a RHD 360 either.

 

I would do a search for a similar thread or make a new one if you want answers. This thread is a market discussion.

 

Isn't that what was said several years back about 308's?

 

What are you talking about?

That post is in reference to importing a 360, which would be cheaper after 25 years because the car would presumably not need to be federalized.

It’s true of every car not sold here that needs federalization, including 308s when they were less than 25 years old.

So what are you referring to about 308s because I’m not sure I follow.

 

Got it, read your post incorrectly.

 

The high to low variance is less than 10% which is considered good. The absolute values can vary based on equipment, the tester, altitude and weather.

The psi can vary if battery volt drops over the course of testing.

not sure if it’s the same for cars, but to get consistent comp numbers w race boats the throttle needed to be wot fit all holes.
