Re: 330 America (#5061) 99% Finished
I've met and exchanged numerous emails with Steve...he's a bonafide "carguy", for those that kind of thing makes a RA to. If youre not outright rich, the economic decisions involved in ownership and enjoyment of these cars can be soul-wrenching and daunting...I've been there. So, lightweights and wa...

I didn't own a Ferrari until post-2000, but, with the internet, I think parts and service are probably much easier to come by now than 35 years ago. I certainly had no problems in this regard with my 330 and have had none with my current 308. On the internet, advice, criticism, and gossip travel at ...

Tom, my perspective: 2+2 restoration is something that just doesn't interest wealthy enthusiasts, and these cars are left overs. In any case, Ferraris aren't a poor man's hobby. However, those of us who get into the 2+2's do tend be of much less affluent means, though we're just as passionate as the...

Re: 1969 ferrari 365 GT at European Collectibles for $68k
I saw this car and thought it seemed like a descent deal. Could this serve as our project car? Compared to the other "project cars" (overpriced junkers) I've seen paraded out here lately, an excellent deal, as was the SII 330 2+2 Mike Sheehan had until recently. In this case, though, price is a fun...

Hi Guys, The least these people could have done was ask for permission to take images off this website. Not very cool. I've been in contact with the seller for several weeks, and have not been able to negotiate a deal. For many reasons, I am walking away. Tom P.S. Ask to see pictures of the interio...

The price of vintage 12s has gotten so high that I just could not afford one now. I am still a huge fan and hope to have one in the future. I love old cars the most. I would take a Daytona over an F430 or 599 anyday. I still like the newer cars (pre 360). A 348 or 355 are terrific value and are mor...

BT, I didn't have the time either as a practicing architect...until you get them sorted, the old 12's are a fulltime job, and even then you're always messing with something. I'm looking forward to a relatively clean-handed period with my 308, and need it because I once again have priorities that tak...

I feel really wierd now that I have an '83 308...am I no longer an OFG, or does having owned a 330 2+2 keep me in the club? Hi Scott, You'll be surprised how much wrench turning you can do on that 308 of yours! It's about attitude, and appreciation, not what car you own! Tom Tom, I agree about atti...

Being an OFG is two things, a state of mind (the 330 attests to that), and the first letter "O". Being retired attests to that. Don't worry - you're fine. Also you don't need to worry what others will think - by looking at your posts, we all know you can spell. There's the generational difference. ...
