I guess if I was gonna drop $80K

I'd get this. Seems nice...

If there's one thing I know about Ferraris, it's that they are very cheap right before a major service is due.

80K is just the starting bid... I'd bet it goes over 120k looking at other cars for sale...

Never cared for the 612. I would love a 550 Maranello. Just my humble opinion.

Same here. It looks somewhat bland and awkward. I'd much rather spend less for a 360.

They are spectacular in person. Beautiful car.

you are right about the 550. a bit plain but a nice gt. a bit like a more modern 928...some like the styling and others do not. I personally would prefer a 5 sp 928 gts!!!

It's the 512BB for me or nothin'.

[enzo1]

friend let me drive his brand new 458 Labor day weekend.....awesome car!

I feel similarly...you are clearly a man of distinguished taste

[Schumi]

If it has the engine in the front, I don't want.

I've driven one. It was heavenly.

See, I knew I couldn't be the ONLY sane guy around here.

I know someone who spent more than $120k on a 911 restore.

[ckelly78z]

I'm sorry, the shape and rear end reminds me of a Corvette, and the front looks like a Boxster. I always preferred the 550 or a nice 308.

Yea, your right. That ' 58 Tessta Rossa with that ugly 12 cylinder in front just gets in the way.

[Sarc]

I agree. Get rid of that depressing interior color (was the original owner colorblind?), slip on some Novitec rims and I'd be good to go.
But I'd still take a 550/575 or an Aston instead.

You found a '58 for $80k? Now that's a deal worth wiping out your 401k for.

[strupgolf]

Yes. Im looking at an ad now for a 58 Testa Rossa for $13, 000. Needs some work, but is sure to gain some value in the future years. Oh, wait, the ad is in Autoweek dated 1976, maybe they have gone up some since then. I love looking back in my issues to see the ad's from when cars were cheap, in relative terms. I still lofr Ferrari's with engine jn front.
