Another minor 550 issue is the master brake
cylinder ($475). The seals will eventually start breaking
down
and leaking internally, due to the extreme heat
coming up from the left side header.
The factory put a heat shield around part
of the brake booster unit, but not the master
cylinder, which is hanging out in the open.
Symptoms are soft brake pedal/pumping needed to bring it up.
Bleeding the system doesn't help.
Ask me how I know...

That's what guys don't get they think because they are about to drop
6 figures they can't bargain like its some kind of in spoken rule
!
If someone is selling they want out for what ever reason
Seize on that and make it work for you knowing that you can
always walk away
I am laughing right now at the guys trying to sell 575 Superamericas
for $250k
And these are the idiots who bought the car way over sticker thinking
they were going to make a killing
The worst is the poor slobs who bought the 355 spyders, OMG did they
get soaked
Those cars aren't even good cabs in 3rd world countries !
The recent Car and Driver did a thing on the issues with 355 that
everyone should read
The deal right now is a late model 550 with a stick
Pay no more than $50k for one
It's a true bargain and a 12 cylinder car not a whiny 8 !
In victory you deserve Champagne
In defeat you need it!
Scars are Tattoos with better stories !
If you follow all the rules
You miss all the fun!

Amazing isn’t it,
Clyde.
Well like my old pal
Tibor used to say – “Always ask – if you don’t, you end up with the same
answer as if they said ‘no’”

My my Rob. Well
– yes, I really did consider the Fiat-Dino. 1980. When the
246 GTS’ and B’s went out of sight at $20,000 1980 US$ I lowered my
sights to the Fiat-Dino to get the “Ferrari sound.” I poked
about, never seriously, and ended up considering the Fiat-Dino a bit
bulbous.
I later completely
dropped the idea pf the Fiat Dino altogether. After that brief
episode I considered that my ‘Ferrari” train had left the station and
I’d never be able to get one. With the early 80’s era came the
watch word – “you could never pay too much for a Ferrari – you just
bought it too soon.”
And speaking of soon -
not too soon after that, less than a decade, the goddess Nemesis
followed her brother Hubris and Ferrari’s were once again within reach
– but woe unto those who didn’t do their homework for many new owners
found their cars suffered the dreaded disease of the wallet – PO
deferred maintenance. Alas.
It was at this point I
jumped in – for a fair price for what we got – and a 1/3 less than the
asking price - - viva being a concours judge and the hungry dealer who
wanted to move this attractive nuisance (you know, all the lot boys
and techs wanted to keep the oil circulated and the battery up) off
his lot.
So in 1995, 2,000
miles from home, I was told by the king car boss after keeping my
personal “Clyde” price unbudgeable – “well, it looks like you bought
yourself a Ferrari.” And that was how we came to own a 1978
GTS. A shade or two off of correct Rossa Corsa and detectable
(get a paint gauge) filler in the door bottoms – but we’re making a
comeback after a year plus. See you at Colorado Blvd the end of
this month. Fingers crossed of course.
Onward
