    After a very long and agonizing search for the perfect early model year 360, 6-speed, yellow/black, blah, blah, blah..... it didn't work out. I had people try to sell me F-1's, high miles and everything else, but never what I wanted. Other people offered me '03's and '04's, but I always thought if I was going to jump up in price to a later year 360, I would rather jump up even more and buy a CS.

    Well, on Friday a CS popped up on my radar screen that I couldn't resist. I bought it & it's now on its way down to me.

    Titanium w/ full black leather interior w/ silver stitching (including full dash, headliner, rear shelf, doorsills, etc...), yellow brakes, Hi-Fi w/ subwoofer, fire ext., tubi straight pipes, tubi NGT exhaust (all original factory stuff is also included). It has a vinyl stripe, which I am still unsure if I will take off or leave on.

    Here are some pics....... I'll post more once it gets here and I have a chance to clean it & take some more pics.

    That is truly awesome! I love Titanium on the Stradale, especially with the yellow calipers. I know you'll get many miles of enjoyment out of this marvelous automobile.

    Yes, it has the tubi straight pipes and the tubi NGT. No doubt, it's LOUD!!! When we went for the test drive, it set off every car alarm we passed. I think my neighbors will forbid me to drive after 9pm.

    Good thing I am also getting the factory cats, exhaust, etc...

    They are powder-coated to match the car. I'm not crazy about them. In fact, if anyone knows of a "like new" set of Stradale wheels (or the 19" challenge wheels from a F-430) for sale, please let me know since I want to replace them. (yes, I know I can have them refinished, but I would rather buy another set).

    I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say we'd love to heard some sound clips.
