    Hello Forum,
    Missing my old 360 Spider stick, bought a Cali T, wonderful Ferrari, just not the same experience (but keeping anyway :)

    I am looking for a nice F430 Spider with reasonable miles to convert to a gated manual. Located in Seattle area, prefer West Coast but not an absolute. Cash in hand, quality and price important with room for conversion cost.

    Requirements:
    CCB Brakes
    Excellent service history
    Tasteful mods or exhaust OK
    Known issues addressed (exhaust manifolds, Fuel pumps, ball joints)
    Clean Carfax (something minor may be OK)

    Preferences Exterior:
    Black, Silverstone, Silver, Grey, Red but not traditional Ferrari Red

    Preferences Interior:
    Tan, Light Brown, Black Oxblood (not bright red)

    The Hunt is On!
    Thank you all for your help!

    Brian

    I have one, but it's missing carbon ceramics and is located on the East Coast/NY area...
    - ~25k miles
    - Grigio Silverstone against Cuoio
    - Up to date with major services, issues mentioned have been addressed
    - Mods are limited to 5-spoke Vossens and a Fabspeed exhaust
    Let me know if you are interested. Willing to sell for somewhere between wholesale + market value...

    Thanks RJ!
    Please PM me if you like and I will provide my personal email, LOVE Grigio, have considered just adding Girodisc 2 piece rotors but have CCB's on other cars and aesthetically really like the look of huge brakes ;)

    I have one but in Rosso Corsa, no CCB, 17K miles. Newer clutch so it’s ready for a manual conversion. Fabspeed headers. PM me for details & pics if interested, it’s currently off-market.

    Thanks Spencer!
    I am not really looking for an "investment" 430 at this time. A factory Gated 6 Speed as nice as the one that you have would probably put me into 458 range, I will need to add a set of Carbon seats to fit comfortably is a 430 so there is that expense with whatever I get.
    Thank you for reaching out!

    Thank you all for your input!
    I may sound like a heretic in the Ferrari world but I just can't do red. A Grigio, Nero or Silver Spider is my goal. Probably a 35-40k mile car with CCB's and Carbon Seats would be the ideal iteration. It looks like you can retrofit 458 Golden Rake Carbon Seats for about $10K from Ebay but CCB's need to be OEM as far as I can tell.

    Found my car!
    Black/Black 2008, paid allot so my conversion may be pushed down the road while I first work on minor upgrades/maintenance issues (if any). Previous owner was a Fabulous Forum Member who owned for 8 years, fastidious maintenance, checked all my boxes!
    Thanks to All who reached out!
    Merry Christmas!!
