    I have been pondering the question of which F car to add to my little collection for some time. It is clear that it must be a later model BBi.

    Needs to be a cal BAR car in top condition. My C4 and 308QV are both FCA Platinum quality. This car must be nice too.

    Anybody with a car or leads please pm me

    Thanks

    Have to disagree with Big Tex. The "which is better, carb or FI" question (which is a mostly personal choice) maybe a more relevent question in 49 states and the rest of the world. But we have some smog compliance issues here in CA which are problematic. I talked to more than a few CA owners and Ferrari mechanics before I made the leap, and the basic problem is after you pay the sales tax extortion, you will probably find yourself reconfiguring your car every two years and incurring even more expense. Unless you have a '75 or earlier car, or live in an "exempt county" a CA registered Boxer will be much earsier to own if it is injected. But, if there is a will, there is a way...

    Thanks, I wrestled with that question. Actually i did the mental gymnastics of both ends of the spectrum. 365bb or BBi. because of the CA ownership mentioned and i have a 365GTC4 ( carbs obviously ) and i wanted a lower maintenance version. Therefore i have decided on the BBi. Also i am a believer in get the latest model of any make and model plus get the best car for the $... Don't want to do the restore thingy. I just want to rub these things with a diaper. Oh and Drive them.

    thanks
