    Hi All

    I am considering purchasing a Ferrari from Ooley and Blackburn Imports located in Carmel, Indiana any references or experience. I will be shipping the car to NJ for PPI, I would appreciate any feedback.

    Thanks a bunch!!!!

    Wouldn't it make sense to have the PPI done before you ship?

    I was looking at a car there a month ago or so. It was a 99 355 Silver/Blue. Made contact with John Blackburn about the car originally. Asked him about a trade deal with my then 328. He said he would get back to me. After 3 weeks and 5 messages and about 5 emails left to him, I gave up. I even had a fellow Fchatter go by and look at the car for me. I figured if he couldn't return my calls--I would find a dealer who would. A phone call only takes 2 minutes, a email even less. I guess he was too busy for a potential client. Not a good way to do business in my book. Maybe you will have better luck..

    And Continental is only 191 miles away :)

    Myself - I'd contact Buxton Motorsports & see who he recommends in Indiana for a ppi.

    I'm ALMOST sure this outfit is the same that was doing 911 slant nose conversions in the 80s. I know now they are a dealer, but I remember (being a 911 fan as well) that a company with a very similar name used to produce all steel conversions for 911's when the slant nose look was all the rage.

    That said, that doesn't help you with the recommendation as far as a dealer of FCars, but you've had a a few different insites, one good and one not-so-good.
