Google

From the Google results on "Kittie Lombardo" it does look like they might be motivated sellers, before long!

I love my 365 2+2, and have owned it many years, but have only worked on it when I absolutely needed to (in other words, when I wasn't getting home unless I fixed it). That said, it's never left me completely stranded. Usually I can see that this doodad is supposed to be hooked up to that doohickey,...

My ampmeter did something similar for a while. I actually had the meter rebuilt, but that didn't fix the problem. I ended up rebuilding the alternator, and the problem is gone.

They seem to work fine, no problems over the past year or so.

Looks like it sold for $42k. If it checks out, and the 330 conversion was done properly, I'd say it was priced about right.

Re: $$$$$$$$$ Sigh

I can't help you with the fuel pump problem, but I can give you my experience on the constant stream of repairs. It seems to go in waves for me. I've owned my 365 2+2 for 13 years now, and after some initial repairs the first year I owned it, I drove it for seven or eight years without doing much of...

He said it drove "like crap" IIRC. This was a guy who managed a very large collection of Ferraris. Tom, I haven't used Jeff, so I don't know what the deal is. I was only relating that his nephew posted something on FerrariChat about it. I would be interested to know, given today's materials, why it ...

I'm quite familiar with those threads. I haven't used Jeff, but his nephew (?) posted a response to Shaughnessy on FChat a while back. If at all possible, I prefer to keep my cars stock.

I know someone who did the air shock solution on a C/4, and they hated it. Last time I checked they were trying to go back to the standard setup (with rebuilds from Jeff Leblond).

How can you tell that they are both not running all the time, then? Turning the "A" switch on seems to make no difference-- I still hear clicking either way. Starts fine either way also. Years ago, when I had a PPI done on the car, I was told that it was wired that way, and there seemed to be no rea...
