Hi Chuck, Congrats on your new GTC. Where are you located in California? I am near San Francisco. It was this time last year my friend and I visited DeGarmo to see the couple of 275 GTB's he had at that time. We had a chance to have dinner with Tom Y and talk cars for three hours nonstop. Boy was it...

Door adjustment

Is there a way to adjust the door latch to achieve the optimum shut? Thanks.

Seems like a good time to jump in with my opinion about Ferrari wheels. I do not like the way varnish looks on the aluminum core of the wheel and it seems to inevitably peel off. I removed the old varnish off my wheel with Jasco and sanded the wood progressively to 1000 grit. Then brushed olive oil ...

Art S. Thanks. The color scheme of my car compliments the lines of the PF Coupe very nicely, but I doubt it would work for a 330 or a Lusso. Colors are funny like that. Many of us don't realize it but the color scheme of a car plays an important role in the resale of the car. So if one is thinking o...

Kare,

Thanks for your note. Seems 0795GT was painted exactly the same color as mine. My color is propoerly called "Grigio Moderno MM16650". The MM stands for Max Meyer. Would this be the manufacturer of the paint?

I appreciated your input.

Udo, Thanks for the compliment. We like the car too much to let it go. The color is called grigio moderno (modern gray), no mention of green at all. I haven't seen any in this color either and haven't seen it on the list of available colors. It could have been the first owner's invention. I am certa...

William,

Speaking of nice colors. Check out Yale Evelev's 330 in the owners' gallery. Very nice color scheme on almost any Ferrari.

The purchase of a car like this is solely an emotional affair. If I were buying a car like this the two most important things would be the condition and the color scheme of the exterior and the interior. The engine is a known quantity (especially to the likes of us). The dark gray looks very nice on...

Interesting, contemplating the passage of time and its effect on the value of things ... I wonder if the time will come when people will seek to reunite chassis of 2+2 cars that are living with fake racers with their rightful body shells? Maybe the question should not start with "if" rather it shoul...

250 Lusso

I'm not sure why I felt the need to bring this up, but does anyone remember the silver Lusso that was on Ebay in 2001. The car was a terrible mess, photographed inside what appeared to be a concrete bunker or a coop. A couple of guys wrote to this site seeking advice on whether they should buy it. I...

markl, A good number of Daytonas were converted to "competition" cars, so off came their grills. You may be able to find a replacement grill in mint condition. In the meantime, an easier alternative may be to sand the slats and fill the pitting with plastic filler then paint them to a close-enough s...
