Steering box overhaul
One of the first things I did on my Lusso was overhaul the steering box. It leaked furiously, as the seals had acquired the consistency of the plastic that was used to make the old telephone handsets, and it had a lot of play around center.

My Lusso had the same problem when I bought it. It wouldn't run AT ALL with the electric pump turned off. It's really simple to remove the mechanical fuel pump - just 2 nuts, 14 mm as I recollect.

Sagging springs
I'm looking for a way to correct the sagging front suspension on my (dato'd looking) Lusso. Does anybody have any experience with either having front coils stretched and retempered or new coils wound?

Colorado Ferrari garage
If you decide to take a southerly route through the Colorado Rockies (which I strongly recommend), Mike's Performance Headquarters in Englewood (suburb of Denver) is an excellent resource for maintenance and repairs. He's been the travelling mechanic for the Colorado Grand, and has vast experience w...

250 GT wiring harness/diagram
After being stranded on the road with a dead electrical system in my Lusso a couple of summers ago, I COMPLETELY redid my wiring harness. I removed the entire harness, stripped off all the loom, traced, inspected, continuity tested, soldered new terminals with 2 layers of heat shrink tubing for stra...
