It took 15 years to fail, so I'm not going to
bother.
I try to leave the hood open after long
drives, to let everything cool down.

165K?
Can you make a heat shield for it?
And/or wrap the headers?

It's a
2000.
I've had it
for 7 years.
18K miles when I bought it and it just hit
38K.
My mechanic has replaced master cylinders on
three different 550s

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!
If you have no enemies, you have no character !

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.
