funny thing about my 355...I paid so little for it. The guy was in hurry, was moving and needed to sell. The market spoke...it was cheap. Immediately after buying it, I took it down to FastCars in Redondo Beach. One of the most highly regarded Ferrari Shops in the country. I had the major done (pre-emptively...the condition of the belts was fine, even though it had been 7 years since being done). They rebuilt the waterpump, and did some other things for it.
The cost of this service was more then what I just paid for my '77 911S. Fact. BUT...that being said...I have had offers on my Ferrari, from members of Ferrari Owners Club, that would allow me to net over 15K after the cost of the Ferrari plus what I've paid for service over the last 1.5 years.
Apparently, the fact that my car was owned by one of the most famous vintage Ferrari collectors in the world (he's owned over 100 vintage Ferrari's..somebody Speeder might know), had the major done at FastCars with a clean bill of health...plus the car is a Berlinetta (they cost more then convertibles), and it's not red...all make it desirable to people who actually know about these cars.
Am I selling it? Nope...it's just too much fun. It's just too much fun to take it out to the desert and let her rip.
