Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Classiche certification.

[Erik Nielsen (judge4re]

Lots of hokey stuff was always done in period.  

For the automotive insiders, Ferrari has always gotten away with selling an associated collection of parts that really still is in APQP phase 3.  Warranty?  Doesn't matter, they've convinced everyone not to put miles on them and make them collectables, rather than have everyone actually understand how underdeveloped and poorly assembled they actually are.

I lost interest in judging in the early 00s when I saw that it really was just a scam to keep the brokers and the restorations shops in business.

And no, the other guys aren't any better.

I can see both points of view. As an owner/ driver I want certain mods to the 512tr, Radiators, fuse box, starter wiring mod, ect. BUT if I’m buying a car and I don’t know the owner or what’s happened exactly I would much rather buy a classiche certified car then a car with unknown mods and changes which were done by persons unknown. 

Lots of hokey stuff was done to the V8s and Trs in the mid 90s when values were low and cars were cheap. Plus, lots of people have no idea how a car is “ suppose” to look or what was “ original”. We all have looked at used classic cars and been told “ that’s the way they came from the factory “ about some issue…. But we don’t know for certain one way or the other.

So I see the value, but for me personally I wouldn’t spend the money on the more modern cars. The older and rarer the car is then I would want it as a buyer. ( like if I was going to buy a Dino, so many changes in details, I don’t know what is correct or what is a bodge). So as the price goes up, the certificate becomes more important….

My thoughts.
