My Stick/Sunroof 360 is Finally On The Way

Please allow myself to introduce... myself.

After five wonderful years with a 456M, I decided to sell my main ride for a stick 360. My favorite color for the mid-V8's is yellow, and so I was looking for a yellow manual car. Well, I'm not a fan of full-convertible spiders, but I like sunroofs and targa tops - I also have a 1980 308 GTSi - and wouldn't you know it, I found one of the two (!) yellow stick/sunroof cars in the US. Very happy to have found this near-unicorn. It doesn't have the shields, yellow calipers, and Daytona seats I would have specified, but it's yellow and tan with a manual and sunroof, which is what I wanted. So psyched!

You guys should like having me around, because I'm going to return the car to stock, so I'll have an aftermarket exhaust and sound system to offer - and I sell this stuff cheap - and I'll need to buy the stock pieces from you guys. I also want to upgrade the car with used yellow calipers and a pair of tan Daytona seats, so if you have those items, PM me. I plan to show this car, so I want to acquire all the property, my main interest there is the tool kit. I already had the 360 spare, believe it or not, because it is the same part sold as the 456 spare in some markets (I vacation solo in my cars, so I actually need and can use the spare). I would like to get the associated jack &c. for that also.

By the way, the sales manager at Ferrari of San Antonio told me there were only 22 sunroof 360's imported into the north American market, and, "about half" were manuals (He sold some of them when they were new). I had no idea these cars were so rare! And only two are yellow, which completely freaks me out. I didn't know my 456M was one of only fifteen in Rosso Corsa when I bought it either!

Car will arrive tomorrow sometime. I may not be able to sleep! Image Unavailable, Please Login

 

Yeah, somebody up there likes me that it came with the modular wheels. If not, I would have had to buy a set, because they are my favorite wheels for the 360, and they ain't cheap.

The interior is just plain tan with the usual black dash. I really want to buy a pair of Daytona seats, and I've seen them pop up from time to time.

 

Thanks, and yes, just like the targa top in my 308. It's very simple and mechanically slick.

 

Speaking of, what's a good product to maintain those moldings?

 

Excellent, thanks.

 

No speakers, but one of those pull out/flip up aftermarket sound systems I'll have to get rid of. He put the amp right where the spare tiedowns are.

 

No, I want to return it to a stock sound system, and that amp is in the way. In five years and 27K miles with the 456M, I never ever turned on the sound system. After a service one time, it came on when I started the car, and I was like, "Ahhhh! ahhh! How do I turn it off!" lol

So frunk is not a typo then. I assume it means front-trunk. My first Italian car was a FIAT X1/9 - also yellow - and it had two trunks, one in front and another behind the tiny 1,290cc engine.

 

They go for about $1,500 each. More if they are pristine.
