lol

the one Im looking into now is at 385k, which is more than I want to spend BUT has turbo, brake, seat, etc upgrades
which I would do anyways, so I can justify a lil more.
Im sure they will come down a good bit more as its at 11k miles and doesnt have full records, been on the track, and 5 owners. None of which I car about, but alot of Ferrari nancys are looking for garage queens.
11k miles over 20 years is not alot at all, except for F40s its kinda high milage

after the Diablo low milages problems, I want nothing to do with anything under 10k miles no matter what the price, in fact if its over 20k miles even better!!

finding F40s is hard (even though they made the same number of CGTs and they are everywhere) let alone high milage ones, so I may be waiting a bit. On top of that in 07/08ish they were 450-600k cars, but back from 01-06 they were 315-385k cars makes buying now hard to justify as they are on their way down again


Do the miles on this F40 suit your needs?

Look at the exhaust system differences between the track and street cars.

Also Top Gear on You Tube has a great video of old vs new where Jeremy C says the F40 is HIS FAVORITE CAR OF ALL TIME

Just 2400 lbs, no nanny gear.

That is funny.... I think that car just sold.... we got an email from a long time client with many cars with us with the exact same picture... He seems to have bought it last week...... Car now lives in Kansas.... Bill-- Confirm?

That is a car DM1 on FC had for sale. I have not followed the ad since I posted that info, so I don't know where it went. Sounds as if it will be one of your customers now.



More F40s:

Pulling the broken LS1
Posted by SMS, Nov 18, 2009 at 10:20 am
98 Z-28 6 speed.

Z06 Corvette LS6 crate motor installed because the original LS1 ventilated the block above the starter when a rod broke. (the 98s had chronic weak rod bolts)

I gave the old block and heads to Excessive81 to use as a boat anchor or planter or something.

Did you guys see the Papa John's Camaro saga?

He sold his 70 Z-28 for $1200 to start a Pizza business. Missed the car so he recently put out a call to locate it with a $25,000 reward. No bites, so he raised the reward to $250,000.
A guy called him and said he had owned it, but sold to a guy in Ky. They found it, and the tipster collected the $25,000 and the lucky owner sold it back for the $250,000.

Papa John's was so happy they offered a free pizza day to everyone driving a Camaro.
