That's nuts,I wouldn't be going anywhere near that thing on the photo's provided. They and the description provided almost could be two totally different vehices. Buyer beware....BIG TIME.!
Indeed!! What a machine! I would never be able to fit in one, but man would I love to own one. Any idea what that car would be worth anyone?
I am sure Ian B will have a better idea, but in 2002 I was in Singapore and visited the Ferrari Dealer, and at the time if the story I was told is to be believed, a Ferrari F1 less engine, was being delivered for a Malaysian guy to put in his Lounge room price then was 1.2M US
As I have said previously said to Moretti and I will now say to your Serge you are looking at value today not future value. Value today is one slab, future value is 3 slabs so even if you pay 2 slabs today you are one slab better off. And don't forget if the numbers don't match up I have a crayon you can use to make the numbers match. It is so good only a real expert may be able to tell the difference. Being serious would be great to have that car nice simple lines not the overworked aero that we have now. Bring back the old days of F1 to make it great again.

I was telling a friend around two years ago that I should buy a 430 with a manual box as they are the last V8 manual Ferraris so their value is almost sure to go up at sometime. Buy, sell and make money. That was the plan, never happened though. And the two 430s I called up about were cheap as chips at the time too.
Not to mention that the manual box installation in the 430 is really ugly. It looks like a total afterthought. Can’t deny that they are sought after though.
Could say the exact same thing about the 355 F1 Steve! That dainty little lever for reverse and a couple of buttons to replace that classic H pattern gate.
Actually, as I'm just about to get all my points back I'm thinking of getting the IS 250 swapped out to something that goes bit quicker License will be in the bin if I get an ISF but they are a nice car and I really like the shape of the Lexus IS series of cars, great turning circle/easy to get in and out of/reliable and a LOT of car for the money I know the badge Nazi's would go for the BMW/Merc/Audi but I'm over the German cars plus I don't want a brand new car, I'm over throwing $20k+ out the window driving them out the showroom floor Anyone driven an ISF ? None at the Lexus dealer today that I could see so not too sure if they're all they're cracked up to be
You are joking ??!!! The 308 (which I loved) is pretty but is very effeminate compared to the 355 .. and my challenge in particular .... which is pretty ...... nasty
Well yes, you could say it. But you’d be wrong (although I’d concede a reverse button would be better). Personally I don’t get the big deal about the metal gate etc. The lever is way too long and the whole thing just looks wrong to me in any Ferrari after the 308 / 328, and it certainly looks out of place in a 430.
I had a Vanagon. Freeway entrance ramps always felt like a potential suicide mission. Zero to sixty in under an hour!
