    I finally found and pulled the trigger on a 1995 red/tan GTB from Ferrari of Denver. They are servicing the car right now (replacing a manifold and rear CV boots) and performing a minor service (major was done last year). Valve guides have been replaced and the car has all the mods I wanted: tubi, ch grill and upgraded brakes. The interior was great aside from some bubbling around the passenger airbag (they are redoing/replacing it).

    So far, the experience has been great. Mike Hughes has been working with me and assures me this car will be in tip-top shape when it arrives (I live in Yorktown, VA). I can't wait!

    I want to thank everyone here who has answered my PMs. I spoke with alot of people before finding the right car (285Ferrari/348SSTB and more). Here are some pictures of her having surgery:

    Looks beautiful. Get the check book and the flatbed ready!! Kidding of coarse. But after reading this board for the last couple of years- lots of bad news it seems.

    Never had any trouble with either of my 355's. Enjoy it.

    Make sure you get tons of pics/video of arrival day. The day a man gets his first Ferrari is the second biggest day of his life.

    You'll be getting a pretty fine specimen...I drove that car about 60 miles from the previous owner's house the day I took it in trade for a new F430 :) Too bad you didn't speak to me, though :(
