    Would have had to been one of the 60th anniversary versions with the red and white paint job and different wheels.

    How about a serial number for the car? I am sure Keith Bleumel would like to know for his chart in Cavallino, too, which has the first and last SN of each model.

    There were a few three pedal, 6 speed Californias, too, but not sure when they were built.

    CC- That is a very late 599. Carbon McCoy might have some info on her and how late she is if you want to PM him. His user name is 134282 (serial number for his favorite Enzo).

    I wish there was a way to find all the manual 599s for sale in the US, this is a potential sought after car imo.

    There were a handful of Californias built with a 6 speed and 3 pedals. Not sure if any made it to the US.

    The last 599s made were built in March 2012 as a 2011 model; the Alonso Edition cars.

    Were any of those manuals? They all look to have F1 gearboxes...
    Vin#'s?

    All of the Alonsos I've seen (about 15) are F1s. Never heard of a manual Alonso. Many are still on the market as they have a questionable color scheme.

    Hey Carcraaazy,
    Right now your SN 182599 is just a rumor. Hows about kindly sharing and posting a couple of pictures of it on the "599 Manual picture thread"?

    http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/612-599/481575-599-gated-stick-manual-official-picture-thread.html

    We'd love to see a side shot (to avoid license plates) and one of the stick...

    No rumor. You can see I only check this site once a year. Would a window sticker due?

    Of course.
    The window sticker would state its VIN and its a manual.
    Please dispel the rumor.

    The xxx599 serial # is the real deal, I have seen Carcraaazy's car and everything he said about it is legit. Awesome car and a precious piece of history. He is a lucky guy!
