Ake,

Are you sure you can handle that much power? You of course have to get the supercharged version!

Stay Safe!

They're lining up. He gives you a choice of OE or re-production parts since the F1 and manual trannies share the same parts except the 3rd pedal and linkages.

Recent 3 pedal SCUD conversion by Art. Some thought it was sacrilegious. However, that's the beauty of owning your car. You do you, lol

Continuing to favor the 599 but it is unwise to disregard highly regarded automobiles...

P.S. Fred, thanks for the information on the conversions...
here's a 599 conversion

He's down-playing the cost of OE 3 pedals. They are close to $200K for a F430. High mileage ones sell for >$175K so there's a huge diff in price between a converted and OE.
Some sellers of OE 3 pedals are actually selling them for more than a SCUD which is a true collector and rare car. Go figure.
So it makes a converted 3 pedal car a great buy and a driver's car (not a garage queen).

My opinion, of course.
P.S: A lot of ads lists the cars as '6 sp Manual". You have to get a picture of the money shot (gear lever) to see that its not an F1

Added this over the weekend: Maserati GranSport Trofeo Cambiocorse. FIA certified factory produced and maintained track car w 2,600 km's that was sidetracked into a collection, when it gets here, it will be the fifth in the country. If I graduate from the Coca-Cola car, this will be the new track toy... Otherwise just a flip...

Picked up a new parts hauler about 6 weeks ago. 2008 E63 in Capri Blue metallic, with a Weistec ECU tune. Simply preposterous.

I’ve been thinking of letting Pasha go as I really would like to do a custom ordered 718 Spyder in a crazy PTS color.

Ake, I am joining the world of the conspicuously underpowered by havinging a replica of this freak of nature built!

Talk about out of character, painfully slow obscurity! It's a 23 window VW Bus, built as the Samba/Safari combo version.




It gets a vintage surfboard rack and old wooden surfboards after it gets here.

Crazy iz az crazy duz...

This is the starting point:

These are cool as f*ck! Lots of fun to drive too, with a transaxle layout. The noise of the 4.2 Ferrari developed lump is to die for. Also rare... Big thumbs up from me!

I've been doing a lot more recreational driving over the last year(not much else to do with restrictions)
Added an E55 and a Miata to the team.
Im happy with the mix so far...always something fun to drive.

You don't see the LC 500 listed much as a contender for "The Modern 928", but it kinda fits. FR layout, 32V naturally aspirated V8, useless back seats, looks stunning and will age well. Sometimes I just want to throw in the towel on my project and pick one up.
