Rob,
Go for the Boxer, if you can swing a deal!
I LOVED my 512BBi. I
had it for five years and put 18K miles on it.
They are great cars! I would really like
to own a carb 365BB or 512BB.

Subject: [Ferrari] Listmember Goes Crazy
or not...
Dear
Friends,
I
am seriously thinking about adding a 12 cylinder car to my garage. I have had
an almost perfect GT4 for 20 years. I always wanted a 365 GTB4 but with prices
beyond my reach I have settled on a range of vehicles I am considering. I will
not be able to make the purchase for about 4 to 6 months but want to start
looking. I have spent 20 years getting my GT4 perfect and getting to old to do
this again, so I am looking for a car with all tools , books, records,
history, etc basically a platinum level car or as close to it as i can afford.
I have lots of experiences with minor services but want a car that is as close
to perfect as can be. I have studied the market prices and would be willing to
pay the fair price for the right car. All of these except the 365BB have a top
price of 200K or under in Cavallino. I know many think this index is inflated
but for a good car I think the top range is about correct. FWIW a 246 sold for
450K last year which is insane.
I
have contacted Phil to help me but thought if any of you knows of a car
available or coming available to pass it on to me. I talked to other list
members who have highly recommended the 365 GT 2+2. I also talked to my Dino's
previous owners and he had one also and liked it. He also told me never to
sell the GT4 as it was one of his favorite Ferrari's he ever had and wished he
had not sold it to me. By the way my Dino turned 38 04-28-13. If I was smart I
would retire, travel, remodel but cant afford to retire so if I have to work
till I die might as well have 2 horses in the barn! This is a once in a
lifetime chance for me so wish me luck. I have never had a bad experience with
my GT4 so hoping that my born on the same day Dino Ferrari passed luck
prevails! I
am partial to red/black or tan with alloy wheels.
The
365 BB would be easiest for me to own as my car has very similar components,
and to me this is styling perfection, easy engine access etc.. The only
downside is no storage space and need an engine out belt change which would
only be hard as I have limited garage space.
I
would love a GTC4 as I am a carb junkie and love the sound and extra space,
but worried about the complexity of the components. Is it true it needs an
engine out to change the water pump? Would love to work on those
carbs!!!!
The
365 GT 2+2 has always been a favorite of mine as the styling was taken from
the 330 speciale and Superfasts which I adore. I measured this will just
fit in my garage if I move a bunch of Ferrari stuff!
After
watching Ferrari's for 40 years I am sure if I wait the right car will come
up. I just wanted to give you all the heads up because I feel we all are
brothers am hoping if someone knows a car similar to my desires they might
point them my way. The car has to be a 1975 or earlier as they are smog exempt
in CA. I already have seen a few carb BB I like but they all came after that
fateful date, plus I think I need an older car since the GT4 is already kind
of like a race car (to me). Conditions on the ground may change but this is my
plan, and I am usually know for following through. My only fear is the market
will move before I am ready........
I
bet you guys cant wait to walk me through fixing those self leveling shocks!
HAAAAAAA
Sincerely,
Rob
