Hi Ruedi, Thanks. I still say that there are a bunch of costs involved that drive these cars higher after you buy them. Show me one Ferrari for sale that needs nothing, and I'll stop believing that all you need to spend is $40K-50K for an old Ferrari. I am in touch with dozens of Ferrari owners that...

Yale and I were talking last night, and searched for available 250GTEs, and found hardly any. I don't think it is as easy as you may think to find a perfect GTE for any kind of money. The prospect of 330 Americas needing no work is even slimmer.

There will be a day when $30-35K will seem cheap for a 330 America needing a full restoration.

I'm going to speak for myself and others who have e-mailed privately and say to the people out there concerned about this car being a viable investment: You're missing the point! My moto is, "you can't drive a mutual fund!" People spend thousands on vacations, and yet they never ask for a return on ...

Hi Enio45,

You're more thsan welcome to join us. I will be firming up plans for Thursday evening by next week!

Is the car worth $35K? Considering the the engine is worth $15K, the transmission is probably worth $5K, and the rear diff at $3-5K (easily converted to a Lusso), you can see how the car can be worth that kind of money. Ironically it's worth more split up, than in one piece, that is why Shaughnessy ...

Hi Paul,

I can ask Frank if he's interested if you don't mind sending it to NY?

Hi Marcel, If I had to make an educated guess, it could be something clogging the pickup in the oil pump. There is also a soft hose that sits between the pickup and the pump that could be leaking and allowing air to suck in at higher revs. I believe you can remove the oil pan to have a look. Hopeful...

That's the same color I'm using! FYI if you're considering bidding, I bought 5 hides for my 330 America interior restoration, and I've got 3/4 of a hide left with the interior almost done. Two seaters will require less leather not only because of less seats, but also because the door panel details r...

Hello All,

So far it looks like the "meet and greet" at my motel will start about 7:30 on Thursday.

More details to follow.

Hi Guys, Francois said that he would cut my choke cable if I tried to use it on my car. He feels that the linkages never withdraw correctly and affect the warm running mixture when you push the cable back in. It's easier to warm the car up with extra throttle on cold mornings than screw up the mixtu...

I'd have to agree with Mike and not buy the Stebro system again. They gave me a good price, and helped fabricate the missing y-pipes from another car, but their system still required some tweaking...and then there is the sound. I haven't heard my car from the side of the road as it is driving by at ...

Hi Ian, Depending on who you buy the exhaust from, it will either have a shiny 304 stainless look (Tubi) or a dull 401 stainless look. I'm told paint will have trouble sticking to either stainless steels, but I spray painted my 401 stainless pipes with a semi gloss black paint made by Wurth. The 401...

Hi Guys, Thanks for your concern on the welfare of my hands! The glue that we use for the seats really makes using gloves impossible. It's a contact adhesive, and when it dries, it'll stick to itself like nothing in this world! Getting it on bare skin allows you to rub it off, but you can forget abo...

Hi Bernard, http://www.tomyang.net/cars/headers5.jpg I sent mine to "Jet-Hot" for thir "High Performance Ceramic" coating. The same stuff Jim used. The black satin finish looked great, and I didn't do any surface prep on my headers. http://www.tomyang.net/cars/ferrari67.htm http://www.tomyang.net/ca...
