Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Looking for help

[LS (lashdeep]

Michael, welcome and good luck in your search. Everyone has already
pointed out that online sources such as Ferrari List and Ferrarichat are
great places to start your research. 

I also do know of an '86 328GTS that is for sale in the DC area. When you
reach that point in your search, let me know, and I can put you in contact
with the owner.

Good luck!
LS
