    My beloved 2007 F430 left home today to make room for my newly acquired 1966 330 GTC. I'm sad and excited. I'll miss my F430 - the first car I had the privilege to order from the factory and go through the whole anticipation of the build and delivery. But the reality is, my 2010 California, with its less flashy looks and ability to drench the cabin in California sunshine, succeeded in keeping my F430 in the garage the bulk of the time. So, when the opportunity arose to try my hand with a classic, I chose to sell the F430. I only have so much garage space and I couldn't quite convince my wife that three Ferraris made sense. So...good-bye to my F430. I hope your new owner enjoys you as much as I did!

    Wow!! 2 black beauties! The F430 looks super nice and I love the GTC looks stunning in that gorgeous black paint. Is that a body off restoration? You have great taste, show some pics of the California too!

    Thanks! I don't believe it was a body off restoration. It was originally grigio medio but was painted nero around 1990. I love grigio medio and if I ever restore it, I may go back to that color. I had even considered it for my California, but I ended up with silverstone as I wasn't willing to pay the historical color upcharge for a car I drive frequently and expect road chips.

    AFAIK - the 330 GTC is mechanically sound, though it has a few incorrect replacement parts from the days when these were still just "cars." That's the stuff I'll slowly deal with. The interior is believed to be very close to if not entirely original.

    Here are a few more picts of each.

    LOVE your stable. As a DD family car, a california with rear seats would almost be my ideal... actually a 3 pedal with the 2 rears seats WOULD be ideal. 330 is a very nice addition.
