    I agree Dave the carpets need swapped out. BH's prices are high but from what Ive seen their cars are pretty pristine. Id rather pay a few more $'s for that.
    They did ship it to me for free :)

    Interesting comments on the F1 tranny. I know it doesn't cost me anything to say this, but I love barchetta red.

    Not red, yellow, or regular black. I would consider any of the blues (there are many blues and they all vary- Eric's is one of three known Hyperion blue cars), green, Rosso Dino (there's one), and one of the one-off colors. Colors which are borderline off colors are the greys, metallic black, Rosso Barchetta, and some of the other shades. It all depends; I will probably just have to know the car when I see it.

    You know what the nice thing is?

    If I look at it and its ugly, I don't have to buy it.


    BTW, I would buy a 1995 (not F1, I know) in a cool color if one came up.

    Well, there was a little bit of cajoling in prying that car from my clutches! At least I know it went to a good home.

    Fwiw, there was a gorgeous, white TB that was on the FChat classifieds about 1-2 months ago. I didn't think that I'd like white on a 355 but it looked fantastic.

    It was a GTS. I would do a white B if I could get it.

    And yes, there was a little cajoling but look how happy your car is on these twisty Colorado roads!

    FYI, it's because I love the 348CH so much that I'm looking into adding the F355B. These are the last of the small, go kart Ferraris.

    It's happy because: a) the only twisty roads in FL are highway on/off ramps, and b) it gets to haul your 155 lbs around instead of my . . . well, let's just say more than 155 lbs around.

    Streetside Classics has a green one, I have no affiliation. I worked at a used car dealer across the street from them. Oops sorry just noticed you said Berlinetta.

    Okay, clearly we are losing the plot here. Let's try this again:

    I am looking for a Berlinetta only, in an off color - not red, yellow, or ordinary black - or interesting color combo, possibly with an F1 but open to transmission choices. Special attention paid to 1995 and 1999 cars.

    On another note, I did see that Palm Beach car a couple of weeks ago with my brother in law. It's a fairly rough car, rougher than I want.

    Still have the Argento 355B you sold me. Now lives in So. Cal. Drove it last weekend. Still a wonderful car. I can't even remember when I bought if from you. Probably over 10 years ago. Can't remember. Just replaced a rear wheel bearing. Still strong and sounding like a formula 1 car!

    I'm also interested in an uncommon F355 GTB, but I'd prefer a 6MT.

    OP, hope you don't mind me jumping on your thread. :)

    Feel free to PM if you have any leads!

    Scott,
    It was over 10 years ago. I was looking through the paperwork a month or so ago. It was a sad day for me to let it go but I knew it was going to someone who was going to love it as much as I did.

    It really is great that you still have it. Don't forget I have first right of refusal, still!

    Hi everyone. I'm calling off the request for help for now as I think I've located a winner and a deal is coming together. Thanks to all who sent me cars. It's sincerely appreciated.
