I have never used a collector car insurance policy (I use State Farm for all my cars), but I have heard that many (most?) have usage restrictions. I don't use my F-Cars to drive to work regularly, but it is nice to have that flexibility. And, I do often use them to run errands and go out to dinner (...

The tail lights are also non-standard for a 365 2+2 (there should be a chrome backplate). Curious... seems like it could have been a factory or period customization, or perhaps it was done when the car was restored?

It was the sister car to Tom's 330 America, s/n 5055 (the immediate next serial number). I started a thread about it here a while back. [quote="Leo"]i was just watching a show about funerals on the history channel and they quickly mentioned a woman in california that requested she be buried in lacey...

There is someone who is working on creating a 365 2+2 registry.

I suspect that there is a pretty high percentage surviving, compared to the 330s and 250s, just because the 365s were not used for any reproductions that I am aware of.

The choke on my 365 2+2 was removed before I got the car. I understand this is fairly common.

Otherwise, I use a starting procedure more or less like the one you described.

I use unleaded premium, and have used it for years with no problems. Back before leaded gas was outlawed, I used to run a mix of leaded regular and unleaded premium.

I recently saw a picture of a Daytona with a leather boot over the gate! So I guess some people want to go the other way.

If you are looking for a daily driver, any of the Porsches mentioned would be good. I would probably be partial to a 993 (I love the styling). I think you could get one in that price range. If you want something exotic, I would look toward Maserati. You might be able to get a Ghibli in that price ra...

I'll second the comment about books and tools. I'd also look for records (mine has them back through 1978). I've had mine (12327) for ten years now. It was trouble free for the first 7-8 years and since then I've had a few issues. I've also become more ambitious about it-- I decided I wanted the air...

In Portland, there are several options. Craig, at the Jag Shop (don't be fooled by the name-- he is factory trained and does a lot of Ferrari work) does my vintage work, and he knows what he is doing. There is also ATD, who I have heard good and bad things about (mostly good recently). Finally, ther...

I have a 456 to go with my 365 2+2. It is very nice to have a modern Ferrari as well, and I find the 456 is so friendly and capable to drive that I end up driving it a lot (almost a daily driver, but I don't like taking it to work). A 348 would be good, I would also consider a Mondial t or a 3.2 Mon...

Congratulations and best wishes! Parenthood is a wonderful adventure.

Interesting thread about the fate of 330 America, s/n 5055 (the sister car to Tom's, I would guess):

Oh, congratulations on your purchase! I'm sure you will have a great time with the car.

>>For the ultra-wealthy, 2+2's never enter their purchase consideration because they're not unique enough -- and let's face it, bragging rights at the country club are important for these people that's why the F40, F50 and Enzo exist (it sure ain't for the 65mph roads in 98% of the USA). << I agree,...
