    A BIG THANK YOU MR. TRITONE. Anyone want to purchase my one piece carbon fiber hardtop? It goes on and off in a matter of a minute or two. It was originally red but painted silver. Paid over $20K. Will sell it for over $20K for the right buyer.

    The 550 Barchettas is by far my favorite Ferrari. I dont know why, there's just somthing about it that makes it amazing. I've only seen two. One was Pozzi Blue and the other was Red on Black with red stitching. The blue one was at Barrett-Jackson a few years ago. I'm not sure if it's true or not, but the Blue one was the only one made in that color.

    Congratz Kuzi, I cant wait to see it. I'd love to ride in it if I ever got the chance, it'd be a dream come true. haha

    Picked her up from FoS this afternoon and what a glorious day to be out in the Barchetta.

    The wife and I took her for a quick inaugural sprint around the Island..........and she (Barchetta) performed brilliantly ;)

    I'm not sure if it was lowering the height by half an inch or the Fiorano Handling package or both, but it felt just as connected and solid through the twisties as the 430 Spider. The wifey actually prefers the Barchetta......uh oh!

    This is totally, the most underrated of all the limited edition Ferraris. I honestly beleive that if Ferrari had addressed the fixed open roof issue from the begining, this car would be trading in 288 GTO territory today.

    Congrats Kuzi. Gorgeous machine.

    We will never know but you might be a bit optimistic. There is a difference in the food chain between a super car and a limited edition end of line model

    Not much difference. A limited edition Ferrari is still just that. Limited.

    And the only thing keeping people from buying this car is the top situation, which adversely impacts the demand. Which lowers the value.....

    Just how I see it.

    Supercars are different from limited edition Ferraris. That is why there is a "Supercar" section in Fchat and not a limited edition section. Enzo is the epitome of technology at the time - F50, F40 and 288 GTO were the Enzos of their day. We all anxiously await the F70

    No collector much cares about usability. Collectors have lots of cars and are probably not very inclined to use collection cars in bad weather. The top-situation of the Barchetta has no impact on its' collectability nor does its' limited production. Main point is that it simply is not very desirable to moneyed collectors or it would trade at a much higher price

    Lucky for you that the Barchetta is under-valued in your view making it a screaming buy in your view. Wish cars that i am interested in were as accessible as the Barchetta

    Great thread. I have to agree that the 550 Barchetta is under rated, especially considering that they are so rare. Hopefully it will soon get the recognition it deserves.

    Nice example Kuzi, enjoy it in good health.
