575M - F1 to Gated 6 Manual Conversion

Joe, I think this is the one Dan sent to EAG: https://bringatrailer.com/listing/2003-ferrari-575-maranello-19/

Dan @dhalperin13 have you been able to enjoy the other one this summer? Any remarkable drives? https://bringatrailer.com/listing/2002-ferrari-575m-maranello-18/

Would love to see some photos!

 

Thanks Eric - identical spec aside from Dan's leather rear shelf. Looking forward to Dan finally getting the car back into his possession.

 

No question. Super excited for his review and thoughts.

Dan, @dhalperin13 have you thought about sending the other 575 to deGroot or other for an OEM conversion on the other 575. It would be amazing to have a comparo.

 

That video was a little tacky given the quality of the car, but it did do a great job showcasing Fabio’s jewelry. I actually don’t remember the channel!

Mine will be done by Wil, Tom, and co. sometime in the next few weeks/months (depending on how schedules align).

Looking forward to your feedback, Dan!

 

you are awesome….I’ve been watching those AMG wagons as well over on BaT

 

I think from my notes it was Jared Zimmerman on “Car Fix” on Motortrends YouTube platform?

I’ve said it before I was a “chickensheet” and should have taken it down when it was on eBay.

 

Indeed! My first OEM package is now happily installed in one of our brethren's 575s; this is a new OEM package that I am lucky to have access to!

 

@Ferrari55whoa If you'd like a comparison, I have a OEM manual conversion 575M in the San Jose area this week.

 

I will send you a DM/Conversation. Thanks so much!

 

@Il Tifoso @losgatos789 @root @kvm
Guys I just added KVM to our thread about a south bay V12 drive day.

KVM and I are going to get together 9/11 at 9am in South San Jose

I'm not sure how many of the other SF Bay area V12 guys might be interested in getting together (or how often some of them are on here but just in case I'll tag them).
@Roger_N bought the '99 grigio alloy with fabio's mufflers
@Montgomery Kersten has the highest mile 550 out there in the USA I think
@dodici has a TdF I'd love to see in person
@m5shiv
@p1turbo is another high mile hero
@MRY I think has a 612 OTO

Any of you "extra" guys that are interested == send me a "conversation" and I can add you to our thread.

Thanks -- Eric

 

I’m in, looking forward to it!

Ruben

 

Mine goes in on the 20th of September for initial assessment; first round of OEM parts arriving soon.

STOKED!

 

Times like this I wish I could hyperloop a car over to the left coast!

 

Will you be taking your car to GTO in LA? I'll be curious to hear what you think. I had one person provide me with "not postive" feedback on them which surprised me.

 

No, I’m in VA, I’m keeping it local

 

Hi Eric,

I’d love to join you guys, but I’m traveling on 11th.

M5Shiv is no longer on this forum, but I am able to connect with him offline.

I have another group that regularly drives down in Carmel. Should you be interested in participating there, let me know.

Best,

Richard

Any updates? Please tell us Art/EAG is done and you have been enjoying it and I missed the update?

 

Ugh man, what a bummer!
I’ve been embarrassed how little free time I have to enjoy mine. Will be waiting patiently for when you do get yours back!

They picked mine up yesterday - nice little 575 contingent at the shop at the moment!
