    Valve guides done, headers replaced. Strong clutch. The car is running cat delete test pipes at the moment. They sound great but if you live in an emission test state, or would prefer not to see the 'check engine' light,
    catalytic converters will have to be fitted.


    Car is in the Detroit, MI area. I will be happy to help in arranging any shipping, nation wide or internationally.

    No trades.

    Send me a message and I'll give you my number to discuss further.


    cheers,
    Ian

    that is quite a nice color combination. Good Luck with the sale. You will miss driving that car, as there is no modern car out there that will give you the same type of experience. If I were you, I would keep it and buy another toy, if you can manage it. Howver, I understand that you must really love these things if you plan to keep and maintain it correctly

    The interior is all original. The Noble looks like an awesome car but I'll have to decline

    Dang.....:( I thought it would e a good trade value wise considering this car will need a service soon. I personally wouldn't mind the cel from a decay either unlike most on this forum. The noble really does turn heads and is a blast to drive. Mine is number 96 of 220 in the country.
    Let me know if you change your mind :) I can do all the transporting.

    Nice car. Must sound awesome.
    I am with Butcher though, hard to replace and nothing will sound as special. Other than the stradale, I don't have a lot of memories of the 360's I had, although one was special but I have vivid memories of the sound of my 355.
    Good luck with the sale.
    Did you post a price?

    The OEM cats will be included, but the right side one is broken up on the inside and will have to be replaced.

    No offense, but with 7 previous owners and an auction sale history --- 56K may be a bit too high.

    Does look like a very nice car though, and I hope you get maximum dollar :) GLWS

    I have a shop cost for my car which is for sale also for Belts, Cam Seals, all fluids, Alignment after sub-frame re-installation from the local internationally award winning dealer here in Seattle for $9500 with a 10% discount for FCA members. but the really good thing is, all the work comes with a 2-year warranty that is recoverable from any Ferrari dealer in the country. That's why I'm selling mine less the repair so the new buyer has the direct relationship with his dealer.

    One thing I noticed which is a must in estimating this sort of thing is you need to budget $2500 for a "gold pin kit" for the engine compartment also last time I looked the flywheel was $5600 and the pressure plate was $1500 which will also probably have to be done because he doesn't mention having a Kevlar clutch replacement which avoids that cost.

    All totaled the exposure = $18,150 to bring it in for its visit if you are an FCA member.

    Crazy prices. You should be able to get that done for half that or less, sorry.

    Sorry Bob - I'm no amateur at this. I've owned my car for 50,000 miles and know what it takes to set them right.

    I learned the hard way and had it done somewhat cheaper once done by a less capable dealer and had to have it re-done by my local dealer to fix the timing mistakes.

    As for the Flywheel and the Pressure plate - That's $7100 right there - you can't change that - call Ricambi - you'll see - Min labor on pulling the sub-frame and disconnecting all the lines is $5-6K at a non dealer Ferrari Shop. If you put a Kevlar clutch in that's another $200 - fluids and filters are another $200 - Gold Pin Kit is $2500 so you are in min cost at $15,500. There is just no way you can set that car right for under $15K.

    Fortunately for me I put the Kevlar clutch in and did a diagnostic tear-down and it still looked brand new so I don't have the $7100 bullet coming.
