    Barry: You are right... A Pozzi blue 550 Maranello is just insane to look at. Especially when inside like in the first picture where it is in the workshop. I went to see a Pozzi in Italy the other day and it was standing in a garage. It looks mean and black, but in the same time it is not black. It is a little more "royal" as it is blue, but not like in the "regular term" blue. This is like a wild cat with a special attitude. Your car is just amazing. The Azzurro California blue is also a real hit to me. Post more picturs of it. It really make my heart pump for Ferrari. As I have always been a Maserati guy, I don't think all the red Ferraris have been so interesting, but this front V12 Ferrari in dark blue is just unbelievable!! Have a great time with your almost black stallion.

    This is a car I went to see that was for sale in Paris. I liked it very much, but as I still had my 456M GT, I was unable to buy it... I hate myself for not getting this car with only 6.700 kms on the odometer... It drove like a new car!! It had stock non valved exhaust and it actually had a very nice "inside rumble" I want this sound, but also a full sports system. That is why I want the original valved mufflers, and considder to open them up and to make it a "straight through" muffler, with the possibility to close the butterfly valve, and still get that original sound. I am sure my neighbours will love that option. I want sports catalytic converters and an X-pipe aswell.

    Hope you enjoy the pictures...

    F456M, gorgeous car - really love the blue/crema combo, with black dash. Exactly how I would have ordered it from the factory.

    It's a chameleon! Sometimes, when it's in the shop, I walk by it thinking it's someone else's car. It looks black under fluorescent lights.

    I agree! This is like tortour.. I watched "The Goodfather" today, where a lot of the capturing is from Italy's countryside. I get sick, thinking of driving a car like this in Italy between all those buildings made of stone. There is no wonder why the Italians are so proud of their car manufacturing. It is all about motoring culture!! And it takes me just 1,5 day to go down there from Oslo where I live. So next summer.... I am going down ther eto enjoy life.

    I absolutely love that color, I almost painted an early 911 that color once, got as far as one fender and changed my mind.

    Its a bit much on a 550 though

    When I got out of the army in 55 I went to the local Ford dealer with my mustering out pay in hand. They had a green 51 two door and said they would paint it any color I wanted if I'd buy it today.

    They had a brand new 55 Thunderbird on the floor so I said I want that color. Did the deal and had that car for five years.

    Its almost the same as Celeste

    I love those 50s colors too, Dave.

    Maybe if that Celeste 550 was metallic like the Ghibli...

    That must be an awful place to live where it only snows on roads and cars.
